Cristóbal Valenzuela satirizes Seth Rogen AI footage critique
Seth Rogen criticized videos that use AI-generated footage to claim Hollywood is finished, calling the clips some of the lowest-quality material available. The comments were posted by DiscussingFilm, a pop culture outlet founded in 2016. Cristóbal Valenzuela, listed as founder in the account data, replied with a satirical quote tweet that recast the same structure around Mark Twain rejecting typewriters.
Mark Twain says if you use a typewriter to write your stories or novels, then you “shouldn’t be a writer”:
“Every time I see some young fella saying, ‘Literature is finished,’ what follows is the most senseless horse sh*t I’ve ever heard in my life. And if your instinct is to hammer away at keys instead of suffering through the process with pen and ink, then you shouldn’t be a writer. Because you’re not writing.”
