""My concern is not artificial intelligence, but natural stupidity," he in an interview. "I think that's what drives most of the world's worst features." "But I did want it to have the arrogance of Victor [Frankenstein] be similar in some ways to the tech bros," he added. "He's kind of blind, creating something without considering the consequences, and I think we have to take a pause and consider where we're going.""
""I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested," he told NPR. "I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak." "The other day, somebody wrote me an email," del Toro added, saying that it asked "'what is your stance on AI?'" "And my answer was very short," he explained. "I said, 'I'd rather die.'""
Guillermo del Toro rejects generative AI and vows to remain uninterested in using it for the rest of his life. He associates tech-sector hubris with Victor Frankenstein’s arrogance, warning against creating without considering consequences and urging a pause to reflect on direction. Del Toro calls natural stupidity the driver of many of the world’s worst features and expresses strong personal distaste for AI, framing his stance with blunt language. Other industry figures share concerns: Steven Spielberg opposes AI making creative decisions he cannot make, and DC Comics will not support AI-generated storytelling or artwork at New York Comic Con.
