Paul Schrader just going to let AI do his racist movie for him
Bemoaning that "no Black actors" wanted to be in a movie where there were "no good Black people," legendary Facebook slop generator Paul Schrader is letting his AI psychosis cast his movie.
Renowned filmmaker Paul Schrader, best known for his thought-provoking films such as Blue Collar and First Reformed, is facing criticism for his upcoming AI-generated movie, The Basics Of Philosophy. The film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, is set to be Schrader's first project utilizing artificial intelligence technology.
This decision has sparked controversy, particularly due to Schrader's insistence that no Black actors would participate in a movie he describes as featuring "bad guys" and a plot involving murder and betrayal.
Schrader's announcement of the AI-generated film came shortly after he experienced a personal setback, including a ghosting incident with an AI girlfriend. While some may find his decision to forego human actors to be puzzling, given the abundance of talent available, Schrader maintains that he couldn't pay enough money to entice them to participate in the project. The film's original plan was to be produced by acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua, but it has since been reimagined as an AI-driven endeavor.
The plot of Three Guns At Dawn revolves around three Black brothers: a corrupt cop, a drug dealer, and a sexual criminal, all vying for power and control. Schrader claims that the film was rejected by Black actors who refused to participate in a movie lacking "good Black people." However, this assertion has been met with skepticism and outrage, as the lack of representation in the film's narrative seems to be Schrader's sole justification for bypassing human actors.
Schrader's reliance on AI technology to create his latest cinematic project has raised concerns about the potential consequences of artificial intelligence in the film industry. As more creators turn to AI-generated content, the quality and authenticity of films may be compromised, leading to a loss of jobs for human actors and filmmakers. The controversy surrounding Paul Schrader's decision to produce an AI-generated movie highlights the need for responsible and ethical use of technology within the creative arts.
