Guillermo Del Toro told a 2024 British Film Institute interview that AI can generate semi-compelling screensavers but lacks the alchemical, risk-taking process that defines true art, noting that the most valuable creative work comes from prolonged, hands-on experimentation and accidental discoveries. He illustrated this with the design of the Pale Man in *Pan's Labyrinth*-a synthesis of a manta-ray image and a *Phantasm* poster that emerged only after months of iterative sculpting-and cited similar insights from conversations with Christopher Nolan and James Cameron about practical effects and purposeful accidents. Del Toro concluded that while AI speeds up the middle of the workflow, it cannot replace the apprenticeship and serendipitous insight that drive the final 10 % of original creation.
