"Guillermo del Toro Unveils Fiery Indictment of AI: A Testament to Human Artistry"
Mexican director Guillermo del Toro made a bold statement while accepting the Vanguard Tribute at Monday's Gotham Awards for his adaptation of Mary Shelley's timeless classic, "Frankenstein". The evening began with del Toro paying homage to the iconic horror author, revealing how she inspired him to tell this story since age 11.
Del Toro went on to express that the realization he had back then, sparked by Boris Karloff and Mary Shelley's work, was that his place in the world was among "monsters and misfits" – a notion he has cherished ever since.
The director celebrated being reunited with the extraordinary cast and crew of his film, including Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi. He dedicated the award to the artisans who handcrafted the world of "Frankenstein", proclaiming that their artistry 'shines on every single frame' of the film. And so he did – declaring an unequivocal rebuke to AI in Hollywood: "Fuck AI."
The sentiment echoes his sentiments expressed during the Venice Film Festival premiere, where "Frankenstein" received a 13-minute standing ovation and has since garnered widespread acclaim for its meticulous attention to detail and exceptional human craftsmanship.
Del Toro's strong stance serves as a testament to his unwavering commitment to traditional filmmaking methods. As he looks forward to competing in nine categories at the Oscars, including best picture, it's clear that this is not just another project, but an ode to the enduring power of human creativity.

. It's awesome he's still holding strong on traditional filmmaking methods – those AI-generated movies just can't compete with the magic of real-world craftsmanship 
. I mean, who needs fancy algorithms when you've got talented artists bringing their own unique vision to life? The fact that his film is getting so much love at both festivals is a testament to how well he's executed this project 
. Can't wait to see what happens at the Oscars – fingers crossed for him in those nine categories! 
. Del Toro gets it - those 9 categories at the Oscars? He's not just competing against other films, he's standing up for an entire industry that values passion and creativity over tech wizardry 
.
i was looking at one of those vids just now and it got me thinking about how much technology has advanced but sometimes we still need a human touch to make something really special...
i mean can you blame him for throwing some shade at AI? like, have u seen how much those machines are cranking out lately? it's all just formulaic nonsense 
. and can we talk about how he paid homage to mary shelley's work? iconic 
. del toro's dedication to traditional filmmaking methods is truly inspiring, especially with all the AI-generated content flooding our feeds 
. let's keep it real, folks: human touch is what makes movies magic 
it's all in good fun, but it shows us where his heart is - in the artistry of humans! 
he's right, there's just something special about seeing a director pour their soul into every frame, and I think that's what makes movies truly unforgettable 
AI: because who needs nuance and subtlety when you can have a robot screaming "I'M ALIVE!!" 
in the film industry! as someone who's all about celebrating human artistry, it feels so refreshing to see a director like him holding up the torch for traditional filmmaking methods 
what inspires me most is that he didn't just bash AI, but also gave a shoutout to the amazing artisans who brought "frankenstein" to life - those people are total heroes 
. I mean, what's more impressive than pouring your life into a project, crafting every detail with care and passion? Del Toro's statement is not about trashing AI (which we can't even replicate yet 
), but about celebrating the beauty of human imperfection – it's what makes our art truly unique and relatable.
i mean, who can blame him tho? AI has been making waves in hollywood lately and people are starting to wonder if it's time for some good old fashioned human touch. del toro just gave us a loud and clear message that even in the age of technology, artistry and craftsmanship still matter 
.
. and let's be real, del toro's words about AI are probably gonna resonate with a lot of us who've been saying the same thing for years
