Director of Wildwood says generative AI goes against Laika's ethos
What happened
Laika CEO and Wildwood director Travis Knight told The Verge on October 23 that generative AI runs "completely counter" to the studio's philosophy. He called AI output soulless and essentially "theft." Wildwood is a stop-motion film five years in the making, with more than 230 puppets, 49 animators and over 1,000 artists involved. Knight said he does not oppose AI in medicine or science but worries about misuse.
