Episode Details

Twenty-year-old director Kane Parsons, whose viral “Backrooms” videos launched him into the spotlight, just premiered his A24 debut film — a sci-fi horror that probes the unsettling future of change. With sharp critiques of generative AI calling its impact “genuinely harmful,” Parsons insists it robs creativity of joy and warns against its unchecked rise. While he won’t use AI in his own work, he’s fascinated by its cultural footprint — from billboards to everyday visuals — seeing it as a symptom of deeper societal issues. His film, born from a childhood shaped by arthritis and digital creativity, now invites audiences to confront what AI represents — not what it creates.
