Filmmaker James Gray has voiced strong disapproval of artificial intelligence in filmmaking, asserting its lack of value and predicting audiences will reject it in favor of genuine artistry. The director, with over three decades of experience, emphasizes the importance of honest storytelling.
Gray, speaking on the current trend of prioritizing novelty, stated that simply being “new” holds little meaning. He believes there’s an increasing demand for authentic content. "This idea that we’re supposed to always try to be ‘new’… That doesn’t really mean anything," Gray said.
The director further explained his perspective on freshness in filmmaking, noting a shift in his understanding as he's matured. “The older I get, the more I realize [that]…” – the quote is incomplete in the source material but suggests a deeper reflection on artistic value. He posits that audiences are actively seeking work that feels genuine and truthful.
Gray’s comments suggest a belief that technological advancements like AI cannot replicate the human element crucial to compelling storytelling, and he anticipates viewers will ultimately reject artificial creations for more meaningful content. He believes people “have a real hunger for interesting, honest stuff.”
