Joe Letteri, the Oscar-winning VFX supervisor from Weta FX, has voiced strong support for human artists amid the growing use of AI in filmmaking. While acknowledging that technologies like machine learning and neural networks are already part of the industry, Letteri emphasized that they should remain tools controlled by artists. He expressed skepticism toward fully AI-generated creativity, stating he would “rather ask an artist” than rely on systems that generate ideas independently. His comments highlight the ongoing debate in Hollywood over balancing innovation with artistic control.
