Seth Rogen Condemns AI Writing at Cannes: 'You Shouldn't Be a Writer'

His stance signals growing pushback against AI in screen storytelling.

Overview

  • Seth Rogen told the outlet Brut at the Cannes Film Festival that anyone using AI to write scripts should not call themselves a writer.
  • He mocked AI clips that predict Hollywood’s collapse and called the output he sees online “the most stupid dog shit” he has ever seen.
  • He said he loves the craft of drafting pages and rejected software that aims to make him write less.
  • Promoting Tangles, he stressed the film used no AI and is fully hand-drawn, with reporting describing a lengthy ovation at its Cannes premiere.
  • The comments echo his 2023 WGA-era objections to AI and land as the Academy tightens Oscar rules on AI-assisted performances.
