The art of AI has been a controversial topic across genres, and movies are no different. Recently, social media has exploded with short clips of movies made entirely by artificial intelligence, famous actors like Keanu Reeves, and with great action or visual effects. However, not everyone is close to the genius of artificial intelligence to be a cameraman in movies, which has led to a division among filmmakers about using it during production.
Justine Bateman, former sitcom star Family Ties And the sister of Jason Bateman, she’s leading the charge against what she calls “ai slop” in filmmaking. Bateman appeared in his career as a writer and director, and a prophet of nature: He does not agree with cosmetic surgery and believes in going natural. He is also very interested in using artificial intelligence to make movies, which he likens to stealing.
To help sponsor movies that don’t use AI, bateman has brought together other filmmakers, such as writers, directors, high-level musicians, and those who work with 23 film endorsements. This group also holds a film festival every year that includes entries from top and upcoming film sellers who are involved in “Movie Magic” and not computers. Entries for the March 2026 Credo 23 Festival are accepted until December 2025.
Batman puts artificial intelligence in the movie because he says it steals the creativity from the creators. The scenes are created using the same AI scenes from movies that have already been made, and then use the collected data to create a new, similar scene. Bateman points out that the creators of the analyzed content are never given their job. “Using AI to find out is the control of the past,” he explained in an interview.
He said: “People have been getting it. From the thoughts “underwater” movement in Thief of Baghdad in the shot of the underwater mirror Sunset Boulevard In the great creation of Ray Harryhausen, movie makers have captivated and mesmerized audiences with effective deception for over a century.
Difference between AI and CGI
CGI added computers to the effects, but still left the effects room working with human actors. These days, there are actors created by artificial intelligence, and that doesn’t mean Peter Clusheng was recreated to play Grand MOFF Tarkin.
Tilly Norwood, quite naturally, has caused controversy in Hollywood surrounding what constitutes an actress. If filmmakers can resurrect dead actors or a new show, what will be the place for the people to live? Artificial actors and other computer generated creatures bypass screen actors, including the need for a paycheck.
James Cameron is leading the charge in favor of AI
Proponents of AI in filmmaking include directors such as Ridey Scott and James Cameron, both of whom are known for films that feature a lot of special effects. It is true that AI can improve the effects shown in films by giving viewers a shot of angles and settings that were not possible. Expensive technical creative budgets can be reduced by clever planning for difficult simulations or effects – heavy scenes.
Proponents of AI also point to the number of movies that can be produced each year with artificial intelligence as opposed to live action and effects. Even if some movies or scenes are “lackluster,” supporters say there is a higher chance of hitting the box office if more movies are made. AI allows movies to be made quickly, and adds geographical constraints, such as filming in certain seasons, population control, or accessibility.
The problem with AI, however, as Justine Bateman says: Artificial intelligence doesn’t create things, it just reinterprets what already exists in another form. There is no creativity and no human element, as evidenced by the number of AI still images that find problems such as many fingers or spiritual legs. AI may be able to simulate an amazing action layer, but it can’t come up with an original plot or create three-dimensional characters. AI is not the next CGI because the magic of the movie is not in the computer I can simulate, it is where people create believable illusions.
