Vince Gilligan Vows No AI in New Sci-Fi Series 'Pluribus'
8 Nov
Summary
- Vince Gilligan rejects using AI in his new show 'Pluribus'
- Coca-Cola faces backlash over AI-generated holiday campaign
- Entertainment industry concerned about AI replacing human actors
As of November 8th, 2025, Vince Gilligan, the creator of the new post-apocalyptic sci-fi series 'Pluribus', has made a clear statement about the show's production. In the credits, Gilligan has included a note that the series was "made by humans", emphasizing his rejection of using artificial intelligence (AI) in the creative process.
This move by Gilligan comes at a time when the entertainment industry is grappling with the increasing prevalence of AI in various aspects of production. Just this week, Coca-Cola has faced backlash for an AI-generated holiday campaign, and there are growing concerns about AI-created content, such as the use of AI-generated actors like Tilly Norwood, replacing human performers and crew members.
Gilligan, who previously slammed the use of ChatGPT, has made it clear that he has not used any AI tools in the creation of 'Pluribus', which premiered its first two episodes on Apple TV+ on November 3rd. The series, set in a post-apocalyptic world, stars Rhea Seehorn as Albuquerque author Carol Sturka, one of the few people immune to an extraterrestrial virus that transforms the rest of the world into a relentlessly optimistic hive mind.
