Seth Rogen Slams AI Writing at Cannes, Says Users 'Shouldn't Be a Writer'

He presents his hand-drawn film as a statement of faith in human craft.

Overview

  • Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival, Rogen told Brut that using AI to write means “you shouldn’t be a writer” and called much AI content “stupid dog shit.”
  • He said a tool that makes him write less does not appeal to him because he enjoys the act of writing.
  • Rogen stressed that no AI was used on Tangles, describing it as hand-drawn with a human touch in every frame.
  • Producer Lauren Miller Rogen said the story resonated with her because her mother received an early Alzheimer’s diagnosis, which echoes the film’s focus.
  • His remarks add pressure to the wider fight in Hollywood over whether AI should play any role in screenwriting or animation.
