Seth Rogen said people who use AI in their writing “shouldn’t be a writer,” arguing that outsourcing the process means “you’re not writing.”
Discussing his new animated film Tangles, Rogen said he sees little value in AI for Hollywood and called much of the AI-generated content he encounters “the most stupid dog shit” he has seen.
Tangles used no AI, he said, stressing that the film’s hand-drawn animation gives every frame “a human touch.”
The film premiered Friday at Cannes to a seven-minute ovation, adding a high-profile backdrop to Rogen’s criticism as AI’s role in entertainment faces growing scrutiny.
