Screencap of a news article:
Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of AI technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday.
The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal.
“My official answer is, AI is good because it’s the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I’m going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI,” he said.

Shoutout to the whole jury, honestly.
Celine Song: "To quote Guillermo del Toro, who will be here at this festival, ‘Fuck AI’."
Jenna Ortega: "A computer has no soul, and it’s nothing that we would ever be able to resonate with or relate to."
Hakim Belabbes: "The models they use in AI don’t belong to me. They’re not mine. I have to create my own worlds… otherwise it’s just a new form of colonialism."
Julie Ducornau: "In 'Alpha', my latest film, we used it for CGI and it really did help us a lot. However, I really believe that at no point should AI take over human work and human interaction. I cannot have an artistic dialog with AI. I can have an artistic dialog with my CGI supervisor in the way we’re going to use that tool. I think that it should just remain a tool.”

Sorry to be a hardliner here, Julie, but I won't be seeing your movie.
