Hannah Einbinder blasts AI creators as “losers,” says they’re not real artists while raising concerns over AI’s impact on Hollywood creatives.
Hannah Einbinder has spoken out strongly about the role of artificial intelligence in Hollywood while promoting the fifth and final season of Hacks.
The four-time Golden Globe nominee criticized generative AI creators during a press conference for the show.
She said, “The people who make this stuff are losers. They’re not artists. They’re not creative. And they’ve wanted their whole lives to be special. And they’re not special.”
Einbinder further accused AI creators of trying to take away from real creatives, stating, “They’re trying to rob real creative people of our gifts. And you can’t. And even if you try, you will never be cool. You guys suck. No one likes you.”
Co-creator Jen Statsky also shared concerns about the growing use of AI in the creative industry. She warned that while AI may make the creative process easier, it could harm creatives while benefiting executives.
Statsky said, “I wish that I believed that it was in better hands, but I don’t. And until there’s guardrails put on, until there is some stoppage mechanism to make sure that we are protecting the humanity both in art and people’s livelihoods, it ain’t good.”
Season 5 of “Hacks” premieres April 9 on HBO Max. The season will reunite Einbinder’s character Ava Daniels with comedy legend Deborah Vance, played by Jean Smart.
Deborah plans to sell out Madison Square Garden with her first stand-up show after being legally barred from performing for breaking her late-night contract.
