George Lucas likens AI sceptics to luddites clinging to horses and carts https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/jul/15/george-lucas-likens-ai-sceptics-to-luddites-clinging-to-horses-and-carts?CMP=share_btn_url

BITCH, we aren’t talking about how YOU would’ve done it. We are discussing how THEY did it. It’s THEIR creative project, so it’s much more interesting to dissect the how and why THEY chose to go in the direction they did. Doing so offers you insight into the mind of the creator and the message they’re trying to convey.

“I would’ve made the characters do this”

Cool… but you’re not in charge. The characters DIDN’T do that. So instead of critiquing a hypothetical story you didn’t get, how about we instead focus on what we DID get and discuss what that creative decision MEANS.

If the characters didn’t do a certain thing, what does that say about the characters and more importantly what does are the creators trying to say through their characters actions/inactions?

However, I don't like it when ordinary, normal critics are forbidden from criticizing something, told, "You haven't created anything, you don't understand, you don't even understand the author's intent."

Well, excuse me, but I don't have to be a chicken to know that an egg is rotten. I don't have to be a chef to know that a dish is tasteless. And I don't have to sit down and create an animated/film/literary/etc. masterpiece to understand that this particular show HAS problems!
