LAIKA director vows never to use generative AI in films: "AI is theft"
moultano · x · 2026-10-28
Travis Knight of LAIKA publicly committed to never using generative AI in the studio's films, calling it "theft — the ingestion of years of human creativity regurgitated back. It has no humanity, no spirit."
Reposting it, moultano agreed it's good such people exist, adding an analogy: some want to climb Everest on foot, others want to fly over it in a luxury 747 — the luxurious easy path isn't the one under threat.
