Of course he did. He loves updating his classics every time some "new technology" comes along to let his freak-flag fly.
We'll be seeing a re-re-re-re-release of A New Hope shortly where he uses an AI generated Boba Fett and Solo giving them a scene or two to develop a backstory.
He became irrelevant the moment he sold the Star Wars franchise to Disney, and it's all been downhill from there (both for him and the franchise). Fuck him.
Lol I love how tone death Disney is with SW series tho. Andor is a anticapitalist and antifa story, told through the lens of some kid who was kidnapped when the Empire was ravaging his homeworld. I think the best storyline is when Cassian is wrongfully imprisoned and escapes within a week while stirring up revolts and enlightening prisoners.

Guy with famously bad takes has bad take.
i mean, he was there all along. he pioneered the all green screen wave of automation in movies. the abuse of green screen was the slop before ai was around. to him it’s just cutting out all the vestiges of imperfection still greasing the machine
Instead of interviewing a rich, famous, busy person, wouldn't it be easier to ask an AI to pretend to be that person, and interview the AI?
Or even to ask the AI to just write both parts of the interview itself? Wouldn't that just be helping interviewers get the stories they want to share out into the world?
Maybe an AI can read the story too, and they can all leave me the fuck out of it.
"Goes to the Dark Side"
Someone never saw the rerelease of the original series.
Lucas' best work was under an editor, whenever he got the full reigns, the product suffered.
His ex-wife was one of the best film editors in history.
The prequels got a breath of respect with how bad the sequel trilogy wound up. J J managed to rehabilitate George.
How to tell who invested heavily in AI with one easy trick.
Lucas has always been on the forefront of utilizing tech in movie production so it's really no surprise he would adopt this mindset.
Continuing that unbroken streak of bad artistic decisions towards an inevitable Star Wars Special 50th Anniversary Slop Edition reissue.
Dear gods, does this mean a second Holiday Special????
With AI gen Carrie Fisher

“If you want AI that tells you when something is fake and where it came from, AI can do that,” he says. “Humans can’t, we’re not that smart.

This is not the intelligence you are looking for...
yeah I'm not surprised, I watched the prequels. This guy was a legend in the 70s, that is like 50 years ago.
He hasn't done anything great since co-writing Willow 40 years ago. Go to his IMDB, he's lived out of star wars nostalgia since then, and all of them after the initial trilogy was a downgrade.
I lost every ounce of respect and admiration I had for this man after he sold the franchise to Disney.
You really held out for a while, huh?
Lemmy has some of the best takes in conversations. I love it here.
"Han shot first" dude is possibly the original slop author. But then his followers outslopped him.
But also: of course AI is the future. It's almost the current.
I met an out of work actress who had a thing or two-thousand to say about AI, none of them good. At the time, she was more blaming the industry and the pandemic for her woes - this was almost 2 years ago - by now I'm sure she's gone full ninja-berserker on AI "replacement" of stunt actors (which she used to be, still is in theory, but hasn't worked since 2020.)

Well yeah, he’s a billionaire, of course he looks after his own class’s interests.
