Summary
Director Martin Scorsese announced he invested in and advises Black Forest Labs, a company that creates text-to-image generative AI (AI that produces images from written descriptions), which he uses to make storyboards (visual plans for film scenes). This decision has caused backlash from other film industry professionals, though Scorsese defends the practice by saying it helps him communicate his creative vision to actors and crew more quickly.
