Seth Rogen told Brut at the Cannes Film Festival that if you use AI to write your stories or scripts, then you “shouldn’t be a writer.”

“I don’t understand what it’s supposed to do,” Rogen said when asked about AI in filmmaking. “Every time I see a video on Instagram that’s like, ‘Hollywood is cooked,’ what follows is the most stupid dog shit I’ve ever seen in my life. And if your instinct is to use AI and not go through that process. You shouldn’t be a writer. Because you’re not writing.”
