Christopher Nolan believes Gen Z is rapidly rejecting AI-generated content and says Hollywood is embracing the technology at the "wrong time." Speaking while promoting The Odyssey, the Oscar-winning filmmaker argued that younger audiences can easily identify "AI slop" and are increasingly drawn to authentic, practical filmmaking. He also dismissed claims that young viewers have lost interest in long, ambitious films, saying they continue to support original storytelling.

‘The Odyssey’ director observed that there’s been a ‘renewed interest in more tactile, more real forms of storytelling’

"I've never seen a more rapid wholesale dismissal of a supposedly foundational jump in technology in my lifetime," the Oscar winner said in a recent interview with The Telegraph.
