Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro criticised artificial intelligence (AI) while receiving the Vanguard Tribute at the Gotham Film Awards 2025 alongside his film's (Frankenstein) lead actors Jacob Elordi and Oscar Isaac. "...every single frame of this film...was wilfully made by humans, for humans," he said. "I would like to extend our gratitude and say: F**k AI," the director added.
