\nBoots Riley came out swinging after Martin Scorsese announced his involvement with the AI company Black Forest Labs on Tuesday, guessing that the filmmaker joined the firm as an advisor to help provide for his family and that Scorsese \u201cdoesn\u2019t give a fuck\u201d since he thinks AI will \u201cfall on its face anyway.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cI Love Boosters\u201d filmmaker posted on X: \u201cMy guess: at 83, they gave his family a gang of money (they throw tens of millions left&right) he wanted the income stream4them& feels like \u2018AI\u2019 will fall on its face anyway, so he doesnt give a fuck. If that\u2019s not the case, extrafuck him. Separately, go see \u2018I Love Boosters\u2019 today.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tScorsese announced Tuesday that he was joining Black Forest Labs as an advisor to \u201cpush the bounds of creativity\u201d and help create visuals such as storyboards. <\/p>\n

\n\tRiley wrote that his issue with Scorsese\u2019s support of the technology wasn\u2019t as much about objecting to the 83-year-old filmmaker using AI in his work, but rather about using his influence to push others into using it. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLike \u2013 yeah the problem with filmmaking is we didn\u2019t have the tools to be creative before this,\u201d Riley wrote on X. \u201cTo b 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 2 promote this and attempt to push the industry toward it. They need him. 1 Trillion spent on generative AI & it\u2019s not saving anyone or changing film yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCinema is a young medium, only around 125 years old, so we have to be open to how it can evolve,\u201d Scorsese wrote on Black Forest\u2019s website when his advisory role was announced. He said it would help him visualize more efficiently to his production designer, art designer and cinematographer. <\/p>\n

\n\tScorsese recently wrapped production on \u201cWhat Happens At Night,\u201d starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence. <\/p>\n

\n\tRiley has been active on social media promoting \u201cI Love Boosters,\u201d a comedy satirizing capitalism, which opened in theaters May 22 via Neon.<\/p>\n
