If you couldn’t tell, Gore Verbinski is very concerned about AI. His new film, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, which follows a time traveler from the future who is sent back in time to destroy an all-powerful artificial intelligence before it becomes sentient, clearly doesn’t have a very flattering opinion of AI. But Verbinski’s feelings about the rapidly evolving technology might be even harsher.
“Why is it going after the things that are essentially what we need to do as humans: to tell stories, to write a song, to write a poem?” Verbinski tells Inverse. “Don’t do that; go cure cancer, do something else. You don’t need to breathe for me. Why is it coming after the things that we like to do?”
