Christopher Nolan said Gen Z is already showing strong resistance to generative AI, chatbots, and LLM-based systems, arguing that younger people can recognize “AI slop” fast. He suggested Big Tech’s push to turn every interaction into an AI “chatbot experience” is unlikely to succeed as audiences increasingly crave authenticity and tactile, real-world storytelling. Nolan also pointed to his own family’s reactions and noted that practical effects and human-centered filmmaking are returning to prominence.
