AI might tell him to turn up the volume on his dialogues.

And add a little more lighting so we can see what's going on.

I do like how he folded in a plug for his new movie into this article. Greta Gerwig says that AI technology would turn actors into figurative Barbie dolls.

Perhaps he is also an expert on machine learning models. Oh wait no, he isn't.

Though he likely knows more about AI in the film industry than you, I and the average schmuck.

Funny to see that Nolan in real life, much like in the dialogue of his movies, says a lot of smart-sounding words while actually saying very little of substance.

It's unfortunate because the conversation about AI in movies is one of the few areas where there's actually some interesting things to say right now. Even though the progression of AI in the current moment may be overhyped, the precedents we set today may last for a long time.

It is important to talk about just how damaging to the movie industry it could be to allow AI to replace actors, writers, and other creatives.

Nolan just likes his dramatic stories a bit too much. He'd rather tell us a story about how we'll give nuclear codes to a rogue AI. I can't say 100% that will never happen, but I can say with confidence that it is not the kind of problem we need to be worrying about today. Our problems are much more subtle and strange.

Just because this guy made one good Batman movie and two boring ones doesn't mean he can lecture the world on anything other than mumbling dialog.
