Guillermo del Toro: 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI

I can’t respect anyone who won’t try something at least once. Granted if he tried it, he’d realize his instincts were correct, but still.

If someone understands their craft enough to know what works and doesn’t, then it’s their prerogative not to use an AI tool. Art is different, there’s no right way to do things.

Experience is not always the best teacher.

Reading, observation, etc. can be better for avoiding bad outcomes without needing to experience them firsthand.
