Miller, who was a freelance illustrator at the beginning of his career, found that he regarded AI as a tool that can help the artists or animator workload instead of replacing them as a whole. The filmmaker quickly added: “I don't want to replace the artists. I want to strengthen the artists in this process so that we can do more things.”

Miller believes that the responsible use of AI animators can bring closer to art

For Miller, the responsible use of AI revolves around the reduction in grunt work for artists and the relief of larger, braver projects that currently require inconsistent budgets.

“It shouldn't take 100 million US dollars to make a film that is really nice with high quality, and it costs it, or it can cost, if I should say … There are stories that I cannot tell at the moment that I love it because they are unaffordably expensive,” said Miller. As an artist himself, he quickly clarified his wish to protect animators and to keep them as part of the creative process. “If we can get a little bit of it [grunt work] From the way and closer to art, I think that in the long run it will be better for everyone. “

Miller's comments are a stable, well thought -out addition to the volatile discourse in the entertainment industry about the use of AI in the story. The inclusion of AI protection and language in contracts for actors and writers were important principles of both the actor and the author's strike, which have existed in 2023 for months. Although both unions won the protection for their members after completing the strikes, the already fighting industry still linger in Hollywood in Hollywood.

Miller is the rare studio pot that is creative himself, which is bothered by the responsible use of artificial intelligence. The technology that is used in an ethical way is not a promise in all studios in entertainment. Come and remember, animators who are plagued by existential fear and are outdated by the AI ​​could make a convincing episode of Love, death + robot. Especially when Miller is the one who leads it.
