‘Odyssey’ director Christopher Nolan calls AI an obvious ‘Trojan horse’

TechCrunch AI 1 day ago

Christopher Nolan compared AI to a Trojan horse that everyone can see coming, praising widespread public skepticism of the technology particularly among young people. He noted he has never seen a technology advance so rapidly while being so thoroughly rejected by the public, with young people coining terms like 'AI slop' to dismiss AI-generated content. Nolan argued that healthy skepticism of both the technology itself and the motives of those developing it will lead to better outcomes than blind faith in new technological advances.

One engineer reported rewriting code in a different language using AI just to appear productive, while vendors avoid contradicting customers' unrealistic claims like 100x productivity gains due to fear of contract cancellation. The result is organizational decision-making increasingly driven by AI marketing momentum rather than practical assessment of technology capabilities.
