Justine Bateman is not a fan of generative AI like Sora. The actor / director says GAI tech is simply the latest algorithmically-driven nail in Hollywood’s coffin of content – but something else will be born from its ashes.
“… audiences will eventually feel sick about watching AI, and about all the ways in which AI will have infiltrated their lives, their job, their kids’ education, their grocery store, their insurance, etc., and they will begin to reject it wholesale,” Bateman writes in Fast Company. “Audiences will then not only reject films made with GAI but reject films that even look like they were made with GAI. They will want something real, raw, and obviously human.”
