That's simply an algorithm that's gone in and summarized a bunch of stuff that human beings have said about fill in the blank.
Like what?
Look, it's not... The people who are saying that it's a tool, they don't understand human nature at all. And they don't understand greed at all. So it's like, you want to bring AI, generative AI into the film business. It's like putting a bag of money in the corner and going, don't worry, nobody's going to touch it.
The CEOs, the heads of studios, the streaming companies, I mean, they were never in the film business anyway. It was, you know, they're in the tech business. Of course, they're all going to use it. Why wouldn't they? It's just naive to imagine that it will be kept in its place or something. And the thing I dislike most about it is it disrespects, degradates, Being a human.
That's what I dislike most.
Sure, there's a lot of people that don't see it that way. But I'm not sounding the alarm. I'm not trying to stop it. I'm trying to make clear to people that what's happening right now and what will continue to happen, the only way these AI companies can get you to subscribe to to subscribe to their services, right? ChatGPT and the rest, the paid services, is to convince you you can't do it.
And when you convince people they can't do it, and then you have AI, and I talked about this like over a year ago, being used in insurance companies to deny claims. I talked about that a year ago. And you have, not to, I'm not saying that to justify what that, you know, murder did. But you have that happening. You have people losing their jobs over it.
You have infecting schools, which I think is absolute child abuse. We're going to have the dumbest collection of adults in about 15 years that have ever walked the earth.
Because not only will they not know how to write for themselves or do any of these other things that we value in society now, they also won't know how to like make butter and chop wood and all the things that people knew how to do in the dark ages. So I don't think general AI should be nowhere near a school or education.
And it dismisses and also lets people off the hook to actually develop themselves and to work. Anything new is going to come out of people. And look back at all of history, all of history, all of it, everything we know. has come, you know, innovations and ideas and art and music has come through people, hasn't come through an algorithm. And that's not going to change.
And what this will do, it proliferates enough. You won't see this whole kind of the spiritual pressing down that proliferated because of the cancel, you know, the mob mentality momentum. That will increase. But the good news is that there are people like myself, filmmakers who are dedicated to the future of filmmaking. And that's the Credo 23 Film Festival. No AI is allowed.
And also all the proceeds... after costs go to the filmmakers. But we're making a tunnel through this sort of inferno. And as much as I'm saying this is a bad idea, if you use it, you'll never know what you can do. You're just stopping yourself right there. You'll never know what you can do as far as research on your own. You'll never know what you can do as a writer.
You'll never know what you can do as a filmmaker. Anything, fill in the blank, anything. You'll never find out what you can do. And you'll never have those new ideas coming through you out into society. But as much as I'm saying this, I'm not trying to stop it. I'm just going to point at people while they're doing it. You know, these CEOs that are making this happen. These maniacs, Sam Altman.
And listen how they talk. When you hear how they talk, they are saying this is spiritual. This is this. And when you think about it, they're trying to create a type of antichrist. And go with me for a second on this. They're promising always be with you, right? You have like AI. You don't even have to experience grief.
You can feed your dead relatives photos and videos and voice into an app, and you can have mom who died last year talking to you every day on an app, right? Always with you, always there for you, can always give you wisdom. It's not really wisdom. It's just rehashed idea, you know, Wikipedia entries and Reddit posts all chopped up together and refed to you. It can love you.
I mean, go read Marc Andreessen's, like, this is how AI is going to save the world. Every single category he talks about is like a, it's like a plot to a horror movie, including Megan. That's in there. You know, it'll take care of your kid and love your kid and, you know, help them with their homework and all of this. It really is. Go check it out.
I don't know if I did a good enough job. Yeah.
Anyway, so. But I. Bad idea. But at the same time, and this is where people's cognitive dissonance, you know, increases on me. It's being, there are a lot of structures in our society now in education, in politics, in entertainment, where the people that were in charge of these structures did not allow any growth or movement. And again, look at the 20th century.
We had growth and movement every single decade, right? It was, it occurred, it moved, changed, right? Well, the last- Right. 15, 20 years, we haven't had that, right?
The answer we can see was, well, then we have to break them. So Donald Trump is being utilized, big picture, right? Being utilized to break that structure. And new things will come through it in politics. Generative AI is being used to break that. the entertainment business and new things will emerge through it.
