Zack Snyder: "My current rules on AI are that I’m very adamant that the shots are made by a person — the framing, the composition. I don’t want AI making shots." "And I’m very adamant that the people are people — real humans — in the shot. The film I just made is the furthest thing from AI. There’s dirt in the film.

That line is getting blurrier and blurrier. If we were shooting this [points to table], having AI take that plant out? Pretty fucking easy. Anybody can do it. If you and I are still you and I in the shot, did that happen in the backrooms of some visual effects company that I don’t know about? Possibly. But don’t change the people. That’s the line, for me — the people have to be real." wp.me/pc8uak-1lHKvW
