Soderbergh Says He's "Obligated" To Use AI On John Lennon Doc
"I'm only scared of things I don't understand. So I felt obligated to engage with it. There are some people that I have absolute love and respect for that refuse to engage with it. That's their privilege. But I'm not built that way. You show me a new tool. I want to get my hands on it and see what's going on."
"The controversy around AI in Hollywood isn't just about talent or effort, but about ethics and legality. The major AI firms are still sobering up from the 'break stuff' phase and now begging governments around the world to void copyright laws just for them, since LLMs are routinely coagulated from plagiarized works."
Steven Soderbergh announced plans to use AI in upcoming projects, including a documentary on John Lennon. He expressed a willingness to engage with new technology, stating that he is not afraid of what he does not understand. Soderbergh's approach contrasts with some peers who refuse to engage with AI due to ethical concerns. The AI industry faces criticism for its reliance on plagiarized works and the environmental impact of its operations, while profitability remains elusive for many AI ventures.
