In a world where tech bros are playing God with AI, legendary filmmaker Guillermo del Toro is here to drop some serious truth bombs. Known for transforming monsters into complex heroes, del Toro isn’t just critiquing technology, he’s calling out the unchecked arrogance of Silicon Valley.

The Monster in the Machine

Del Toro sees striking parallels between Victor Frankenstein and today’s tech entrepreneurs: both believe they’re victims while simultaneously wielding destructive power. “The arrogance of Victor is very common now: the tyrant that believes himself to be a victim,” he told interviewers, throwing serious shade at political figures and tech executives.

Art Beyond Algorithms

When it comes to AI in creative fields, del Toro is brutally direct. “Nobody asked for this,” he says emphatically. For him, art isn’t about computational permutations but human experience, something algorithms fundamentally can’t replicate. His ultimate mic drop? Hoping he’ll be “dead before that takes root”.

Looking Forward, Authentically

Despite his AI skepticism, del Toro remains passionately forward-thinking. He’s currently adapting Kazuo Ishiguro’s “The Buried Giant” as a stop-motion project, continuing his mission of pushing artistic boundaries and challenging conventional storytelling.
