John Waters on AI: Great for Cancer, Bad for His Writing!
- John Waters’ wild take on AI.
- Why he thinks AI is a no-go for artists.
- Our thoughts on this.
We just saw this wild quote from John Waters, the guy who brought us all those wonderfully weird movies. He’s been talking about AI, you know, artificial intelligence. It’s everywhere these days, and people are freaking out about it, especially in Hollywood.
Turns out, John thinks AI could be amazing for solving big problems, like curing cancer. That’s a pretty serious thought, right? He even said it would be good for, uh, *pornography*. But when it comes to his own art? A big fat NOPE.
He’s crystal clear on this: he would never, ever use AI to help him write. He feels like it just wouldn’t capture that unique, messy, human vibe that makes his stories so special. It’s all about the raw, unfiltered aesthetic, and AI just can’t replicate that.
So, while others are maybe using AI to churn out scripts or images, John’s sticking to his old-school, human-powered creativity. It’s a bold statement in a world that’s going crazy for all things automated.
Our Take
We get it, John! As artists ourselves, we love the human touch. There’s a certain magic, a feeling you get from something made by a real person with real feelings and weird ideas. While AI can be a cool tool, it’s not going to replace that spark of genuine creativity. Some things are just meant to be made by us humans, with all our messy, beautiful imperfections.
