Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verseproducer Christopher Miller says fans need not worry about the use of AI in the upcoming sequel.
“Dear @SonyAnimation,” one fanwrote, tagging Miller and his producing patner Phil Lord in the post. “Keep generative AI away from Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse. AI robs people of their jobs & produces nothing but slop. We don’t want that anywhere near this film or any film for that matter. Please keep it away from the filmmaking process. Thank you.”
Generative AI has been a concern as of late, as more and more continues to pop up online and in film, TV, and video games. Indie horror flickLate Night with the Devil came under fire earlier this year for using AIfor three images that appear within the film. Miller, who produced Across the Spider-Verse and Into the Spider-Verse forSonyAnimation, says they have no interest in using AI for their upcoming projects.
Miller swiftly responded,writing:“There is no generative AI in Beyond the Spider-Verse and there never will be. One of the main goals of the films is to create new visual styles that have never been seen in a studio CG film, not steal the generic plagiarized average of other artists’ work.”
