"Talented creators say the darndest things. The latest one to put his foot in his mouth is George Miller, director of the very good, fantastic, wonderful girl-power post-apocalyptic action film Mad Max: Fury Road, as well as many other great movies. Speaking at an Australian AI film festival (they generated a festival?), homeboy opened his mouth to proudly declare that "AI is here to stay.""
""AI is arguably the most dynamically evolving tool in making moving image. As a filmmaker, I've always been driven by the tools." But okay, let's hold off on the pitchforks and torches for a second and hear the writer and producer of Babe out: It's the balance between human creativity and machine capability, that's what the debate and the anxiety is about [...] It strikes me how this debate echoes earlier moments in art history."
"Miller went on to loosely deliver some pseudo-historical background, comparing AI's rise to that of oil painting in the Renaissance and photography in the mid-19th century. "It will make screen storytelling available to anyone who has a calling to it," Miller said, echoing the common pro-AI argument that it's some kind of democratizing force. "[Kids not yet in their teens are] making films-or at least putting footage together. It's way more egalitarian.""
George Miller stated that AI is here to stay and described it as a dynamically evolving tool for moving images. Miller said that as a filmmaker he has always been driven by the tools and framed the core issue as the balance between human creativity and machine capability. Miller compared AI's rise to historical shifts like oil painting and photography and suggested AI could make screen storytelling accessible to those with a calling. Miller noted young people are already assembling footage and characterized the result as more egalitarian, while prompting concern about ownership and technological intent.
