In an interview with NPR about his Frankenstein film arriving on Netflix next month, del Toro drew a hard line, saying he’d “rather die” than use AI, and compared today’s “tech bros” to Victor Frankenstein (the inventor, not the monster):
“I did want it to have the arrogance of Victor [Frankenstein] be similar in some ways to the tech bros. He’s kind of blind, creating something without considering the consequences and I think we have to take a pause and consider where we’re going.”
