Variety
The Art Directors Guild criticized Martin Scorsese for partnering with AI firm Black Forest Labs, arguing it undermines human artists.Summary
The Art Directors Guild (ADG) has issued a statement condemning Martin Scorsese for his recent advisory role with the AI startup Black Forest Labs. The guild argues that by promoting the generative AI tool FLUX, Scorsese is bypassing the professional contributions of human art directors, designers, and illustrators who have been integral to his cinematic career. While Scorsese defends the partnership as a way to visualize his creative process more efficiently, comparing it to his past use of 3D and de-aging technology, industry voices like director Boots Riley have also voiced criticism, speculating on the financial motivations behind the collaboration.
