Hollywood has come a long way in its depiction of Black culture, going from an era where we couldn\u2019t even be hired to portray our own race to becoming award-winning actors<\/a> and actresses<\/a> in our own right.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, we still deal with controversy when it comes to stereotypical roles reserved specifically for Black people. Although many thespians of color have shown autonomy in what acting jobs they choose to take or deny, the recent developments in artificial intelligence are threatening to add yet another hurdle to clear. <\/p>\n

Famed director Paul Schrader proved that with his decision to use A.I. as a replacement for actors in his upcoming film, Three Guns At Dawn<\/em>. His reason? No Black actors wanted to play the lead roles, which include a corrupt cop, a drug dealer and a sexual deviant.<\/p>\n

Bad Boys<\/em> Director Says Sony \u201cHad No Faith\u201d In The Film\u2019s Success With Two Black Stars<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe sent it out to actors, and no Black actors wanted to play in a movie where there are no good Black people,\u201d Schrader said in an interview with The Playlist<\/em><\/a>, going on to blatantly add, \u201cAnd it sort of died. But then AI came along, and I didn\u2019t need Black actors.\u201d The film, which originally had Antoine Fuqua attached to produce it, will reportedly be completely AI-generated. Schrader sees this decision as the project\u2019s main source of pushback, completely ignoring the fact that Black actors simply don\u2019t want to put on a performance that further perpetuates false characteristics of our race. <\/p>\n

The Taxi Driver<\/em> director\u2019s affinity for A.I. has been brewing for a hot minute, even defending the use of it back in 2025 when he wrote on Facebook, \u201cI just asked chatgpt for \u2018an idea for Paul Schrader film.\u2019 Then Paul Thomas Anderson. Then Quentin Tarantino. Then Harmony Korine. Then Ingmar Bergman. Then Rossellini. Lang. Scorsese. Murnau. Capra. Ford. Speilberg [sic]. Lynch. Every idea chatgpt came up with (in a few seconds) was good. And original. And fleshed out. Why should writers sit around for months searching for a good idea when AI can provide one in seconds?\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n

A few days ago, he added to the theory after getting self-satisfying results from ChatGPT on a prompt for a screenplay adaption of the Russell Banks novel, Affliction<\/em>. \u201cTo ignore AI is to ignore the future,\u201d<\/em> he wrote as a closing statement. Our only rebuttal is, what about ignoring human decency?<\/p>\n
