The Odyssey looks set to become this summer’s big blockbuster hit, and its director, Christopher Nolan, is busy working the interview circuit. After his comments last week around AI slop and the younger generation’s rejection of the tech, the Oscar-winning filmmaker went one step further in a chat with YouTube channel HugoDécrypte – Grands formats.
When asked about the Trojan horse metaphor in relation to AI, Nolan responded: “I think AI is a Trojan horse that everybody knows the Greeks are inside” (via TechCrunch).
Laughing along with the host, Nolan continued: “I’ve never seen a technology advancing so rapidly, so completely rejected by the public. Everybody’s suspicion of it is so extreme, particularly young people.”
“The reactions [towards] AI videos online, you know, people my children’s age immediately calling it AI slop.. and just putting it in a box,” said Nolan, echoing his earlier comments.
