      Nolan:

      “I’ve never seen a more rapid wholesale dismissal of a supposedly foundational jump in technology in my lifetime. So much energy has been expended on bringing in AI, but if you look at that generation’s reaction, they’re utterly rejecting it. [My children’s] judgment of AI slop has been immediate and harsh. They see it for what it is very quickly – and it’s much easier for them to identify it, because it grew out of an online world they know really well. And while that doesn’t mean that every aspect of the technology is useless or meaningless, in film-making it’s hitting at exactly the wrong time. After years of driving towards heavily virtual environments, we’re seeing a renewed interest in more tactile, more real forms of storytelling.”

      Can’t escape the AI slop though. It’s cool that there’s an audience for stuff like Obsession but it’s only a matter of time before foreign audiences start eating up the AI stuff and the demand changes the market.

      It’s already starting to happen with AI music. Where I live, most restaurants already have AI playlists going all day. And around here people just like English music and recognizable melodies so even personal playlists and party playlists are full of stuff like “R&B 80s hits”.

      The audience outside of the English speaking world is different, and far larger.
