Legendary director Tim Burton reacted negatively to the recreation of his artistic style as rendered by artificial intelligence.Per Variety, Burton, in a recent interview, reacted in distaste to AI recreations of his trademark style, stating, “They had AI do my versions of Disney characters. I can’t describe the feeling it gives you. It reminded me of when other cultures say, ‘Don’t take my picture because it is taking away your soul.'” The Beetlejuice and Batman director compared the role of artificial intelligence in the creative space to that of a soul-sucking entity, adding, “What it does is it sucks something from you. It takes something from your soul or psyche; that is very disturbing, especially if it has to do with you. It’s like a robot taking your humanity, your soul.”Artificial intelligence, for good or ill, is trending in the industry. AI has taken a grip on social media with the work of other auteur filmmakers, aside from Burton, viewed through its lens. AI video recreations of what Star Wars or The Lord of the Rings might look like if Wes Anderson directed them have also gone viral in recent months. Anderson posits he ignores AI reimaginings of his work. “If somebody sends me something like that, I’ll immediately erase it and say, ‘Please, sorry, do not send me things of people doing me,”’ he said. “I do not want to look at it, thinking, ‘Is that what I do? Is that what I mean?’ I don’t want to see too much of someone else thinking about what I try to be because, God knows, I could then start doing it.”RELATED: Why Tim Burton Will Never Make a Marvel Movie – For Now
