Scorsese, the purist, surprises Tinseltown.
If there is one subject that unites the ultra-liberal Hollywood elites is their absolute hatred for Generative AI.
It is seen, for good reason, as a direct threat to writers, actors, and artists.
But this week, Hollywood was shaken by a magnitude-9 earthquake: 83-year-old Martin Scorsese, 16-time Oscar nominee, revealed that, since last year, he has become a partner and advisor at Black Forest Labs, an AI image generation startup.
That sent industry figures and film fans reeling.
Scorsese joins a small but growing wave of artists who are supporting AI, such as Demi Moore, Darren Aronofsky, and Ben Affleck.

Needless to say, crying and grinding of teeth are heard around Hollywood, as critics warn this partnership will take work away from real-life, human storyboard artists.
