Elon Musk says Grok Imagine will make ‘historically accurate’ AI adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey; The Guardian, July 22, 2026

  , The Guardian; Elon Musk says Grok Imagine will make ‘historically accurate’ AI adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey

More recently, Nolan said the backlash “comes with the territory”, saying: “These conversations that happen before people see the film – they’re always irrelevant, because no one having them knows what the film actually is yet.”

The director was also withering in his assessment of the likely impact of artificial intelligence on film-making, saying: “The idea that it replaces human beings wholesale and human creativity, to me it’s a nonsense.” He added: “I’ve never seen a technology that’s been so successfully adopted by Wall Street and by investors and by tech companies that the public has so thoroughly rejected.”"
