I don’t understand why would you use a quote from George when he’s literally gone on record to state that he supports AI in film. All you’ve done is taken another one of his quotes out of context and placed your own subjective feelings regarding AI on top of it.

I would say that your argument is boiling down to the fact that you don’t like the way AI has been used. Yes, most of what’s available on the internet right now AI-wise doesn’t have a lot of thought put into it. Most of it is fan-service. But that’s to be expected with how universally accessible it is. In other words, it’s user error, not the tool’s fault. Believe it or not, people do want engaging and challenging narratives. It’s 100% possible to create those and then use AI in order to illustrate them. And I would expect those to become among the most popular projects.

I can use that quote from George right back at you with my own subjective opinion. “Joy is giving yourself to somebody else, or something else.” I’m sure there are tons of people out there that would love to have the opportunity to share their own understanding of what Star Wars means to them, but they don’t have the skills or capacity in order to make that story heard. AI is the tool that can allow more people to give a piece of themselves in a more digestible format. In other words, it can make mythmaking less dependent on technical or financial privilege. It gives more people the ability to translate their understanding of a story into a form others can receive. In that sense, it can turn interpretation into an act of giving.
