Director of one of 2026's biggest surprise horror hits slams GenAI: "If I could snap my fingers and make generative AI disappear forever, I probably would"

Kane Parsons, director of the surprise horror hit Backrooms, has expressed strong opposition to generative AI, stating he would eliminate it if possible. While acknowledging potential VFX uses, he finds no creative enjoyment in AI tools and views their prevalence as a symptom of cultural and economic decline, though he is interested in artistically interrogating its iconography in future projects.
