Scorsese showcases FLUX AI tool sparking Art Director's Guild ire
Martin Scorsese, the legendary director, is catching flak from Hollywood's Art Director's Guild after teaming up with Black Forest Labs to promote its AI tool FLUX.
In a recent video, Scorsese showed off how FLUX can help storyboard scenes and said it gives filmmakers more creative control, which didn't sit well with everyone.
Talks stalled after Scorsese outreach
The Art Director's Guild, representing about three thousand artists and designers, says tools like FLUX could put illustrators' jobs at risk and undermine real human artistry.
They're especially concerned that big names like Scorsese embracing AI might set a trend that threatens creative careers across Hollywood.
While Scorsese's team reached out to smooth things over by highlighting his past support for artists, talks between both sides have reportedly stalled.
