During a Comic-Con panel about the film’s return to theaters, the director reiterated his hatred of all things AI, telling the crowd: > “What we’re protecting is the beauty and the redeeming power of art. It’s not about who gets the job. We are protecting a lineage of art. If we cut a generation of people from learning their craft, you’re cutting the rest of the history of that medium away from them for what? … I chose good. You have to put in time. You have to do every element by hand. A human made a decision of depth.” [Link: Guillermo del Toro Says There Is ‘Absolutely No Goddamn AI’ in ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ 3D Re-Release: ‘We’re Protecting a Lineage of Art’ | https://variety.com/2026/film/news/guillermo-del-toro-no-ai-pans-labyrinth-rerelease-1236815109/ | Variety]
