Breaking Bad Creator Condemns AI as "Plagiarism Machine"
Vince Gilligan, the Emmy-winning writer behind Breaking Bad, has strongly criticized artificial intelligence, calling it the “world’s most expensive and energy-intensive plagiarism machine.” He firmly refuses to use AI in his creative work and questions the tech industry's ethics and impact on originality.
Gilligan’s Critique of the Tech Industry
Gilligan accused Silicon Valley billionaires of promoting AI as “a bag of vapour” in their quest to become trillionaires. He believes the technology is being excessively hyped for financial gain rather than genuine innovation.
“I hate AI. It’s basically a bunch of centibillionaires whose greatest life goal is to become the world’s first trillionaires. I think they’re selling a bag of vapour.”
New Series as a Statement
Gilligan is currently promoting his Apple TV+ sci-fi drama Pluribus, which includes a defiant end-credit message: “This show was made by humans.” The statement emphasizes his stance on human creativity versus AI-generated content.
AI Challenges in Hollywood
- AI-generated scripts and dialogues are becoming more common.
- Deepfake actors are increasingly used in productions.
- Gilligan’s show serves as both entertainment and protest against this trend.
Historical Context
Hollywood has previously voiced concerns about AI's impact. For creators, the issue is not only fear of losing jobs but also the threat AI poses to the integrity of creative industries.
“This is not just about job scares, but a threat to creative industries.”
Author's summary: Vince Gilligan condemns AI's role in creativity, calling it plagiarism masked by hype, and emphasizes human artistry through his new series.
