As Martin Scorsese embraces artificial intelligence (AI) in Hollywood, his filmmaking peers are reacting to the Oscar winner\u2019s new role.<\/p>\n

Boots Riley recently criticized Scorsese for his \u201cattempt to push the industry toward\u201d genAI with his advisor position at AI firm Black Forest Labs, suggesting he only joined the company for the money.<\/p>\n

More from Deadline<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMy guess: at 83, they gave his family a gang of money (they throw tens of millions left and right) he wanted the income stream [for] them and feels like \u2018AI\u2019 will fall on its face anyway, so he doesn\u2019t give a fuck,\u201d he wrote on X. \u201cIf that\u2019s not the case, extra fuck him. Separately, go see I Love Boosters today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The I Love Boosters writer\/director sarcastically added in another post, \u201cLike- yeah the problem with filmmaking is \u2018we didn\u2019t have the tools to be creative before this.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be clear, my vitriol is not about him using it, I\u2019d likely simply sneer at that in private. It\u2019s about him using his cache [to] promote this and attempt to push the industry toward it. They need him. One Trillion spent on generative AI and it\u2019s not saving anyone or changing film yet,\u201d said Riley.<\/p>\n

Riley even shared some of his \u201cTERRIBLY DRAWN storyboards\u201d for I Love Boosters, now in theaters, explaining why Black Forest Labs\u2019 Flux tool for creating storyboards is unnecessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cLater- we did have an amazing artist re-do them, but planned through most of prep using these. It worked,\u201d he wrote. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to use AI to do this shit.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Black Forest Labs announced Scorsese\u2019s new role as an advisor, helping shape the company\u2019s \u201cvisual intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor 70 years, I\u2019ve been creating my own storyboards,\u201d he said in a statement. \u201cThere\u2019s always been this problem of how do you communicate what you see in your head to your cast and crew. There are some things you have to see and feel. I\u2019m interested in the intersection of technology and storytelling, and…<\/p>\n
