Some of my TERRIBLY DRAWN storyboards for I Love Boosters. Later- we did have an amazing artist re-do them, but planned through most of prep using these. It worked. You don't have to use AI to do this shit.
My guess: at 83, they gave his family a gang of money (they throw tens of millions left&right) he wanted the income stream4them& feels like "AI" will fall on its face anyway, so he doesnt give a fuck
If that's not the case, extrafuck him. Separately, go see I Love Boosters today
