George Lucas says AI will make it 'much easier to make movies' • Says rejecting it is like rejecting cars in favor of horses • AI has risks, but he believes the tech will provide its own solutions "There’s nothing you can do about it ... That’s progress, it’s the future" (via A Rabbit's Foot)

As I said about this before:

While it’s true that AI can grant the wishes of a director and that it won’t let anyone else get in the way of that vision, what you end up with is a product that is not art for the masses but pornography for an audience of one. And much of generated AI today is used for exactly that.

Pretty rich coming from a guy who hasn’t made a good movie in 50 years

Look what he did with cgi. Why is anyone surprised he'd think this was the perfect shortcut.

Who's George Ligma?

I'm sick of people saying ai is inevitable and not actually showing any proof that it's actually good

When Ai Gen was introduced to devinatart, it was not “higher” quality stuff being made, it was the ugliest unimaginative slop imaginable. When you lower the bar to entry, what you get is low quality garbage being made to the point all the good, original art is impossible to find.

Also there’s the fundamental issue being that the point of a person making a movie is to MAKE a movie, not for there to just be”be” a movie. People have stories they want to tell because they’re their stories. Genslopping a script or direction removes the entire point

Just because you're so old, you wont see the repercussions, doesn't mean the rest of us want them. Fucking fossil ass takes. I hate it here.

that makes sense. he has always been a pioneer, even if he sometimes got a bit carried away with his overuse of technology. the main problem with AI is its environmental footprint; that is the first thing that needs to be addressed.

Easy to churn out this shit in no time at all!

Not him too 💀

Old man... evangelizes cloud?

He can do whatever he wants. If he uses AI and admits it, or uses AI and lies and I suspect I see AI, I WILL NOT SEE THE MOVIE. PERIOD. Their margins are already pretty thin. They want to make them thinner? Go for it.

Really, really sounds like him when he was in the screening room for the prequels, ordering his graphic designers to "add more CGI!"

The Prequels have aged better than most thought but he basically made the template for green screen slop

It's not like cars became an ecological problem in the long run! /s

AI is sloppy. He's saying it's better than his work. It shows how little knowledge he has of AI.

old rich white man says AI is inevitable, look at the shock on my face.

"there's nothing you can do about it" is literally the words the most misogynistic men in my life have said to me in the few moments I dared to speak back.

i hate him

All these rich old geezers wanting to cut out the people they pay to make their movies for them so bad.

It’s over, I have the high ground

Tell you what, when an AI picks me up and takes me to a hospital faster than an ambulance can, I'll consider changing my stance. But until then I'll stick with our modern metal horses, thanks.

FUCK AI

This world is a fucking prison and i hate every second of it now

This is why he had his franchise privileges revoked

I mean, when is the last time he tried? This tracks.

Ответ для Sebastian Fawkes

More like "rejecting AI is like rejecting snake oil in favor of medicine" Take a knee George.

Well, there goes any respect I might have still had for the guy...

What an idiot. Society couldn't WAIT to transition the horse industry to the car industry because the jobs were mostly easily translated - buggy drivers became cab drivers, saddlemakers became carseat designers, and the horseshit shovelers became LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE.

I'm so sick of these fucking comparisons that don't hold up to any kind of scrutiny cars taking over for horses is not the same as AI shitting out garbage. It just is not. It's such a weak fucking argument and so is oh it's here so we better get used to it. Shut up. Ask AI for a neck

If you're pro AI & not financially benefiting from its proliferation then you just don't understand it's limitations. Using it is like cheating on a test. You may achieve your desired result but you won't be able to apply knowledge or skill to anything beyond that.

* Says rejecting it is like rejecting cars in favor of horses Did he actually mean a Tesla car because that thing is a crappy intelligent car.

Tbf he’s only saying that cus he doesn’t have a team of ppl advising him on decisions

> Cars are a great alternative, but nobody's getting rid of horse riding. AI is definitely not an improvement to art in general, just quicker and sloppier. > Tech that allows you to use faces and voices like that is RISKY and hard to tell. > We can opt support non-Gen AI works. They STILL EXIST.

Et tu, Lucas?!

AI turns everything into cheap/fake slop. I avoid it like the plague in games and movies. I want this stuff made by real people thank you. Support real artists.

Says the man who kept ruining his films with each new release. Why would anyone be surprised he said this? Also, it's a common trash boomer take.

I wonder how many people shitting on this have ever made an actual movie, even a short? The video editing software everyone uses was basically invented by Lucas, and I guarantee you AI will become ubiquitous in the same way.

he surely believes that senility is unavoidable and that's why he is embracing it already

The actual article clearly gets the context of what he's saying as disparaging AI and the inevitability of "progress", not endorsing it. Unfortunately the internet doesn't do fact checking, just gaslighting.

Yeah he should be shitting his pants with fear after Markiplier made Iron Lung, Kane Parsons made The Backrooms, and soon Alex Kister makes The Mandela Catalogue with Steven Spielberg. I detest everything he stands for and says here because the above have proven those statements wrong

You know what else is progress? Rejecting objectively shitty and terrible ideas that have proven overwhelmingly negative consequences on the environment and the economy over any potential "positives" it falsely provided. Just because it exists doesn't mean we can't do anything about it.

When's the last time he even made a movie?

Given his history with CGI, it's not surprising that the old prick finds shortcuts attractive.

More like rejecting a Cybertruck in favor of any other car.

Ответ для Brooklynxman

A wank panzer?

what a shock, the cgi shitshow guy likes computer slop

"rejecting it is like rejecting cars in favour of horses". No it's like rejecting a stolen car with 5 wheels and a giraffe where the sunroof should be in favour of an actual car.

Ответ для Dan Smith (Avenrise)

More like rejecting a running Honda Civic in favor of some empty "concept" chassis being showcased by some company you've never heard of.

Funny how it's old rich guys like Scorsese or Lucas who don't have to worry about money or careers that are in the tank for this.

The future is still human.

Sure, Like people won’t start torching Data Centers the minute babies start dying from lack of clean water.

@redlettermedia.com wasn't hard enough on him, calling him a kook should have been the starting point, not the end.

you know, horses ARE better than cars though.

"like rejecting cars in favour of horses" bro 1.2 million people are killed by cars each year, maybe not all technology is strictly better than what came before

I am actually completely unsurprised that George Lucas would say this Like yeah, this guy has always been about tech

good thing nobody values his opinion on anything anymore

Ответ для Brew

His wife's brilliant editing was responsible for 50% of Star Wars' success the other 45% were the actors and crew. Dude has always been a lucky hack supported by those around him.

Ответ для Brew

Yup. And unfortunately Mark Hamill has also been frequently posting gen-AI imagery. Even on Bsky as a form of mockery against Mr. Orange-Man.

He's jealous it wasn't around so he could alter Star Wars 100 more times with crappy inserts into scenes.

What a loser. This man was an innovator in his field and I always assumed he was proud of what he accomplished Now it feels like he's saying he would have 100% ai generated Star Wars if given the opportunity. I suppose it's not too surprising with the amount of revisions he did later on. Still...

He should probably stfu after adding the additional bullshit to the originals. No one likes that shit and this is the opinion of someone who does

Ответ для Phantom Thief

Also Nolan is about to release a massive movie with mostly practical FX stating people want them more anyways so kick rocks, beardo

and to think, he obsessively made The Phantom Menace this big rift between the natural splendor of nature (Naboo) and the cruel oppressiveness of technology (Trade Federation etc.)

THERE'S the guy who made Attack of the Clones! :)

Here's the thing George doesn't understand, cars are better than horses. AI isn't even better than horseshit.

"will provide its own solutions" is what rich sociopaths say to make themselves feel better about how this bullshit dismantles the lower and middle class and destroys the fucking planet while they're safe inside their glass well cooled castles. Also, fuck you George.

A horse could direct a better Star War than him

this dude has always been a hack. the only reason any movies he's fronted have turned out any good are because of the crew reigning him in.

Lucas can suck my nuts.

When the alzheimers starts to kick in.

Rejecting Ai is like rejecting the Concorde just because some people were annoyed by its noise

Seeing so many elders/accomplished individuals embrace AI in so many industries has proven to me 1 thing: They need to pass the torch and stfu. The Old were thought to provide wisdoms, but they only show how thick their cataracts are.

Ответ для 🔞TurboTyrant🔞

I think they are giving it a shot, and they will see for themselves, and prove to the industry, how corrupt and bankrupt the tech is. but they're Curious Georges about it

I was never a fan of Star Wars and now I never will be.

So let's burn the planet to make mediocre movies....yay! Who needs water anyway.

Hell, it sounds like something Nute Gunray would say

Says the billionaire. Fuck off.

These boomers have no idea what AI even is.

Remember when he made the most iconic villain in film history a monster by making him part machine?

Ответ для 🕹️ algi 🇭🇺 🇪🇺

remember when he made a whole trilogy of movies with evil capitalists trying to take over the galaxy with shitty robots

The way he talks about progress sounds a lot like assault

"easier" isn't really the end goal, George. GenAI won't make movies *better*. It might improve *your* dialog, though.

I'm pretty sure AI will have many positive uses for technological advancement and assist humanity with the close to impossible tasks, but at the same time it can be used for all the wrong reasons as well.

Fuck these boomers.

ChatGPT: "Wow, this script is amazing George, the alien camel farting at Jar-Jar is a tasteful, yet subtle hint to the audience that the movie they are watching has humor, drama, and a bit of off-the-wall zaniness! How would you like to proceed? Just let me know!"

>there's nothing you can do about it meanwhile, the funny firebomb flying into a local datacenter

Y'all are surprised he has this take? One reason the prequels were a train wreck was his obsession with new tech. Episodes 2 & 3 (mainly 2) look like shit because he was more obsessed with the technical aspect of making the movie than actually telling a good story.

Ответ для WizardParty

Not to mention the cringe-ass CG he crowbarred into eps 4-6 after-the-fact

He’s made his millions. He’s not worried about how it affects ACTUAL artists and their work, so honestly he can go fuck off.

they ALWAYS add that "its inevitable, might as well embrace it line." 🤨 when we all know damn well its not necessary. no one actually thinks it is except for people trying to normalize it for profit.

Ответ для Briar

Thank you, i was looking for someone to say that. Corporations make it look like AI slop is necessary by making it omnipresent, but you can live without it, as you could 4 years ago. If i live actively choosing not to use it everyone else can.At least for now you can decide what to use in your films

every time someone says "there's nothing you can do about it" they're actually afraid of you to think about all the things you can actually do about it

I love it when people who are at the end of their career pull the ladder for the next generation.

Not him as well…..

Episodes II and III looked like video games and I did not like that. I do not trust this man.

He has gone to the dark side.

Once washed, always washed

Every day I'm glad Disney has control of Star Wars now

Ответ для Colin Horton

Disney is a shit company too

George is an idiot.

How long has he been a destructive dipshit?

Remember this is the man that gave the world....

AI has it’s uses… in scientific fields. It does NOT have a place in the arts

What a shitty take. AI is not at all an advancement like upgrading to cars from horses. It makes soulless uncanny trash that doesn't pass for art while draning so much power and trashing the environment.

Well he’s a talentless hack who is fully checked out so yeah, makes sense he’d be in favour

He’s not even good at directing the story he wrote.

Of course theres something we all can do about.. we choose not to use or engage. Like choosing not to be on Facebook or all the other corrupt media groups

George has joined the dark side.

“..Says rejecting it is like rejecting cars in favor of horses” As the price as fuel goes that is not a bad idea tho

don't meet your heroes

I’m sure America has had no issues whatsoever George by adapting its infrastructure and city planning completely around cars without considering long term effects.

Lucas being a dipshit twice “it’s like poetry it rhymes”

Says the guy who most of the time likes to just sit on the directing chair drinking his coffee.

I wonder if anyone wants an AI opinion from someone still working and who needs to work to eat.

George Lucas is pretty infamous for not heeding reasonable concerns to humiliating effect so

Says the guy who harnessed the tech power of early CG and retroactively tainted his perfect trilogy

One part of me is not surprise, he didn't hesitate in abusing CGI on his prequel films the moment the technology got better. My other part is confuse, someone who was so progressive to criticize US Imperialism in his movies is incapable of seeing how AI is just another cog in the machinery.

Vehicle emissions are destroying the planet, George

What a piece of shit.

He has always been a sellout

What an absolute loser

damn, does Illumination have to take him out of the Minions movie now?

*continues to reject anyway*

Yeah well he thought the Special Edition changes were a good idea too, so honestly I don't care what he thinks about AI.

"Old man apathetic and acquiescent as he inches closer to the grave."

Friendly reminder that George hasn’t made a good movie since the early 80s. The good movies he did make were thanks to his editor and filter , Marcia.

Ответ для SP24

He also was overjoyed at firing most of his ILM staff once they switched to cgi.

Ответ для SP24

oh my God who cares. your favorite director could say this and they'd still be wrong. how good or bad a director is doesn't matter one bit here. focus on what matters

Ответ для Stephen Ist

Were people saying that about VR? I know it was a thing for the metaverse but I don't remember VR getting past the "Pretty cool for video games" phase.

Lucas has always been an early adopter of movie tech, for better and worse, and he's almost certainly right about this. There's going to be pushback from people worried about misuse, but the cost savings will be too big for some filmmakers to ignore. Sooner or later than dam will break

Ответ для Waffle House Telefrag

He created ILM, pioneered digital editing, and was the first filmmaker to use digital film in a blockbuster. He's consistently advocated for new tech way before anyone else thought it was ready, and he's consistently been right

To be fair, that's only because AI can already write better scripts than the prequels.

Ответ для Eric Dodge

The pequels are truly terrible, but AI could never write them. AI creative writing usually is incredible pretentious, without any meaning and when it has meaning, it is incredible on-the-nose.

Ответ для Eric Dodge

No way that any AI could ever top “Hello there”.

George, is this about Howard The Duck?

Well.....there goes my respect, also going forward, I will sigh at Star Wars

Well he's a fuckin dipshit

Mmmmm no. You're garbage, Lucas.

Can we get a dementia check on this guy?

Coming from "CGI is the future" man, who directed famously shit movies, that had tons of ugly as fuck CGI

What a tool.

"Leaded gas makes cars run do much more smoothly, you people just don't get it."
