Seth Rogen comments publicly on the role of AI in filmmaking and screenwriting, expressing strong skepticism about its value. Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival to outlets including Brut, Rogen says that if someone’s instinct is to use AI to write scripts, they “shouldn’t be a writer.” He frames the idea as not understanding what AI is meant to do for storytelling, suggesting the technology does not meaningfully contribute to the craft.
Rogen also extends his remarks beyond screenwriting, criticizing AI-generated content more broadly. Reporting on the interview, Deadline describes him using blunt language, calling AI-created material “stupid dog shit,” and reiterating that people who use AI for writing should choose a different path.
The Hollywood Reporter similarly reports that Rogen tells people who consider using AI to aid their writing skills to “go do something else,” presenting his comments as a direct response to questions about AI’s supposed threat to Hollywood. Across the accounts, Rogen’s position is consistent: he dismisses AI as a tool for writing and argues for abandoning it in favor of other work.
