Breaking Bad creator's new sci-fi show Pluribus has a "made by humans" disclaimer because Vince Gilligan can't stand AI: "AI is the world's most expensive and energy-intensive plagiarism machine"

Pluribus.

The new show from Vince Gilligan, Pluribus, premiered on Apple TV this week. If you've checked out the sci-fi drama, you may have noticed a disclaimer that the whole production involved humans, not AI. That's for good reason, as Gilligan despises the technology, and wants everyone to know it wasn’t needed.

During the end credits, you can see a line in a screen dedicated to miscellaneous thanks: "This show was made by humans." It's right at the bottom, and while it may seem like a clever little joke for a series about mankind itself, it also springs from Gilligan grinding his axe against AI assistance.
