Presumably he has the experience to evaluate if this is likely to actually help or not. Or at least if it is worth exploring.
It is rather unclear why you believe he is likely wrong, aside from conjuring up rather ageist speculations about his motives.
I imagine the whole industry is going to use more and more AI. There may be some hiccups on the forefront but I definitely dont think it will be some direction that gets abandoned.
Honestly, I don’t think Marty’s “decision” to use generative AI to storyboard will even become a thing that ages.
But let’s say it doesn’t “age well”. What would that mean? Would it mean we’ve turned into a society that looks down on people on using AI tools at ANY stage in a creative process?
Is that where you think we’re going?
Martin Scorsese is using AI to build better pre-viz tools not create scenes and write scripts, but that detail is completely lost on the literati. The reactions roll in.
As a conflict averse society, we excuse people that indulge in these kinds of behaviors once they reach a critical mass. It's kind of like a conversion disorder.
Covid is a good analogy here. We went seemingly overnight to righteous indignation to cold and flu commercials advertising their products so you can go to work sick.
It's cool right now to dislike ai, and there are plenty of charlatans that are ready to harness that for whatever new outrage.
We live in such an information dense world that people will form very strong beliefs about things overnight, castigate those that don't agree with them, and then shed them just as fast when no longer conveniently held.
