Tim Burton has hit out at “disturbing” artificial intelligence (AI), comparing its use in imitating his distinctive style as “like a robot taking your humanity, your soul.”
The prolific director behind movies “Edward Scissorhands,” “Corpse Bride” and “Beetlejuice” made the comments during an interview with British newspaper The Independent at the weekend. He was referencing an article by Buzzfeed that had used AI to reimagine Disney character as if they were in one of his movies. “I can’t describe the feeling it gives you,” Burton said. “It reminded me of when other cultures say, ‘Don’t take my picture because it is taking away your soul.
” The potential consequences of using AI are among the central issues driving the ongoing actors’ and writers’ strikes which have halted production in Hollywood. SAG-AFTRA, the actors union which represents about 160,000 members, has been on strike since July. It is concerned that AI will lead to far fewer employed actors in the future, while the pace of change in the technology is one of the things stymieing negotiations with the studios, experts told CNN in July.
