Look, I get it. AI can do amazing things these days. But just because we can use it to finish a dead artist's work doesn't mean we should. The biggest problem I see is that we're making a choice the artist never made. Kubrick spent years obsessing over every frame. What makes us think we can guess what he'd have wanted with a scene he never got to shoot?
It's not just about the finished product. It's about respecting the artist's process and their autonomy. Using AI to complete their work robs them of their final say. Sure, we might get something that looks right, but it'll always be an imitation—
