Overview
- At the Cannes Film Festival, Seth Rogen said writers who rely on AI "shouldn't be a writer" and told them to "go do something else."
- In a Brut America interview, he dismissed viral AI demos as hype and called many examples "the most stupid dog s---" he has seen.
- He said he avoids AI because he enjoys the craft of writing and does not want a tool that makes him write less.
- Lauren Miller Rogen and author Sarah Leavitt backed him, saying AI cannot match lived experience or the creative process that shaped Tangles.
- The hand-drawn Tangles premiered May 14 at Cannes with voices including Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Bryan Cranston, reflecting wider pushback on AI that intensified after the 2023 writers’ dispute.
