I had to look up War of the Worlds, and that one was by Rich Lee, the director of Venom.
*gets handed a note*
...the director of the music video for Eminem's Venom, not the movie.

Jim Lee openly disparaging AI in no way guarantees anything, no one knows what the future of AI is and no one knows who will be in charge at DC Comics down the line. But I think it's important that a popular artist publicly shot AI down. Fans and artists ignorant of or using AI need to hear this.

Didn't Tron Legacy end with the computer lady played by Olivia Wilde going into the real world? Couldn't they leave it at that?
