Eli Roth admits he used generative AI on ‘Ice Cream Man’Director Eli Roth has confessed that he utilised generative AI in “a few scenes” of his new slasher film, Ice Cream ManThe Hostel filmmaker recently shared his latest effort, Ice Cream Man, which follows a suburban town descending into chaos and crime after its children consume the treats sold by the new ice cream seller, played by Ari Millen, which turns them into homicidal zombies.
In a new interview with Polygon, the movie maker was asked whether he used artificial intelligence in the creation of the thriller.
Initially, Roth sidestepped the usage of AI and drew attention towards his own animation techniques: “I have an animation background, and I drew it,” he shared.
AI was used in a very small portion of a few scenes in the film.”
Roth explained that the collaboration “was an opportunity where technology and creativity came together to help bring my vision for the film to life.”
