SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

You don’t need AI; AI is not β€œinevitable.” That’s a lie being fed to you by companies who are going to lose a fuckton of money if they don’t convince you that AI is something you can’t live without.

Tron movies are like (most of) the Jurassic Park movies which are fun, visually exciting adventures with thin stories and thinner characters - except Disney does very little to stoke the Tron fandom flames & only makes new movies long after most have forgotten the last one. Regardless, NIN is >>>

There’s no better video game sensory experience than opening a row of lockers in a Borderlands game and hearing that cash and ammo fly in
