Christopher Nolan says people ‘disdain’ AI and the idea it will replace humans is ‘nonsense’

Christopher Nolan, the acclaimed director of blockbusters like Oppenheimer and The Dark Knight, recently spoke out against the notion that AI could replace human creativity in filmmaking. He argues that the kind of big-budget, location-based action films he specializes in would likely withstand the rise of AI, which many people seem to distrust. Nolan's comments come as he promotes his latest project, an adaptation of the Greek epic The Odyssey, and he also dismissed right-wing criticism of actress Lupita Nyong’o's casting as Helen of Troy as irrelevant. His views highlight the ongoing debate about the future role of AI in creative industries.
