Do you have video of the original exchange? I read the article and it seems the question asked specifically about AI, and he did not rule it out saying he'll use what he needs to fit his aesthetic needs. Which itself is a very crappy thing to say in 2025. When you have directors like GDT screaming, "F AI".Mann never mentions AI himself. It's also not a blanket term for new tech.
If the de-aging aspect bothers people, more power to em, but seeing people go at Mann because an article just throws out the term AI seems off.

But that's not the analogy here. The dish he's making is the same. The question is about how he plans on making the dish. That's why I want to know the original question. If someone asked him specifically about de-aging, okay. If they asked him about AI and that was his answer? That's a really bad answer imo.He says nothing about ai. He says deaging will be important. I’m not wondering if the cook is making soup when he says he’s making a salad.
