from Wikipedia:
Aronofsky is known for his environmental activism and veganism. A number of his films, notably Noah and Mother!, can be read as environmental parables.Nothing more environmentalist than using the water-sucking plagiarism machine!

I always knew if Darren Aronofsky really tried he could make something worse than The Whale

putting Darren Aranofsky under Natasha Lyonne on the list of "people who have done interesting work in the past, but whose future work, all of it, AI or not, should be thrown in the trash". Use AI, get fucked.

Well, thanks Darren Aranofsky for showing that even with a renowned and experienced director working with it, AI generated film still looks like shit

Incredibly disappointing to see Aranofsky attempt this kind of sloppy mess, AND you already know that I strongly feel GenAI has no place in creative works, BUT SETTING ALL OF THAT ASIDE…
holy shit this looks like ass
this is absolute cheeks
even if I liked GenAI, this would be dog balls

Maybe Darren can conjure up an entirely AI generated audience who can watch this while the rest of us go off and do something else.

Fuck all the way off, and then fuck off a little further, just keep going and fucking off until you're completely out of fucking off space and then fuck off just a tiny bit further.

The ultimate curse –
Let's hope it's as successful as 'Melania'.
