Some people say Jon Peters created the AI generated video

According to George Miller, producer Jon Peters suddenly decided he wanted aliens to appear in the movie, even though it didn't make sense with the story. Miller thinks that Peters was influenced by the box-office success of Aliens (1986). He even showed up one day on-set with a stuntman dressed as an alien, and told Miller to put him in a scene, any scene. Miller and Jack Nicholson then left the set until Peters gave up on his fixation.

Breaking: 80 year old cocaine addict who’s spent the last few decades hallucinating a 24/7 AI slop video supports AI.

"It's the Wild West, and these are the new cowboys," says producer Jon Peters, who ran Sony Pictures from 1989 to 1991.
Peters says he has taken a $400 million-plus stake - roughly 4% - in Paramount since it began trading on the Nasdaq as
PSKY. "Things have changed," Peters adds, "and now we're moving into the biggest revolution that you and I will ever see in our life, which is AI."

Most people don’t appreciate the degree of craftsmanship it takes to know exact right moment to drop Telly Savalas into your movie as a crop duster pilot.
