Guillermo del Toro sounded the alarm about AI and threats to creative freedom as he celebrated his BFI Fellowship honor in Hollywood.
I think the bigger threat to cinema is conglomeration. Allowing all the studios to merge, and then buy up the streaming channels, and internet companies is a recipe for killing creativity and free speech.
Two things can be threats to cinema.
How about a third thing? People with no attention spans that look at their phones during the movie instead of paying attention to it.
If only it was just cinema illiteracy.
I think that cinema illiteracy is the least of our worries as we move toward slop as the standard.
AI slop is a mediocrity gold mine
