Questions for Tilly

My kids hate Tilly Norwood. I mean really hate her.

My reaction to her new movie announcement was a shrug, but it set them off.

They think art belongs to humans. I agree, but I have questions:

• How is AI different from earlier technologies like CGI or rendering? Does using AI in any part of a movie spoil it?

• Would we mind AI for a wedding montage? What about AI video ads? Product safety videos?

• How would you feel if you loved a movie and found out later that AI helped make it?

We’ve seen some great movies recently: 𝘖𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, Project Hail Mary, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘋𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴, 𝘚𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘵. Every time I think there’s no way AI could match this.

But that leads to a more uncomfortable question:

If AI-made movies eventually become better than human ones, would we still hate them?
