The latest Apple TV series “Pluribus” concludes with a unique disclaimer that emphasizes the human touch behind its creation, distancing itself from generative AI technology. Creator Vince Gilligan expresses his disdain for AI, labeling it as a costly and unoriginal tool in the entertainment industry.
The distinct message at the end of “Pluribus” credits, stating “This show was made by humans,” stands out as a bold declaration against the use of AI in filmmaking. This move by the creators could serve as a precedent for future projects looking to emphasize the absence of AI involvement in their production process, ensuring a more authentic and human touch.
In a recent feature article on Variety, Vince Gilligan, renowned for his work on “Breaking Bad,” openly expresses his aversion towards AI technology. He criticizes AI as a mere tool for plagiarism, generating repetitive and nonsensical content. Gilligan’s strong stance against AI reflects his commitment to preserving the creative integrity of his work.
Returning to the realm of science fiction with “Pluribus,” Vince Gilligan collaborates once again with “Better Call Saul” star Rhea Seehorn. The series follows Seehorn’s character, a romantasy author, as she navigates an alien invasion, delving into themes of imagination and reality.
