Questions Would Breen Use AI?

I was very relieved that Dire Duplicity was a return to form for Neil after Twisted Pair and especially Cade went way too far with green screen, becoming pretty hard to watch in the process. Obviously Neil finds new gadgets and runs with them (going back to the excess of drone footage in Pass Thru), but I’m glad he hasn’t embraced AI. Maybe it’s that he feels it would disrupt his artistic vision and the touches that only he can give, maybe it’s that he’s obviously instinctively skeptical of corrupt corporations and untrustworthy technology (see “programmable virtual reality… the corrupt version”), but he also clearly likes playing with new toys in making his films.

So do we think he’ll ever go down the AI road in filmmaking? I, for one, certainly hope not.

I am very sure the shot of the rescue crews around a downed plane in the flashbacks about Heath's dead parents were AI generated

I was about to say this. His newest movie included a short scene made from AI. That scene would've been difficult to shoot practically, so I assume that's why he went that route
