If you tuned in to the conclusion of the new Apple TV series “Pluribus,” you might have caught a distinctive disclaimer in the credits: “This show was created by humans.”

That concise statement — placed immediately following a note that “animal wranglers were present on set to ensure animal safety” — could set a precedent for other filmmakers aiming to emphasize that their creations were produced without generative AI.

And just in case the disclaimer lacked sufficient clarity, creator Vince Gilligan (renowned for “Breaking Bad”) was even more forthright in a Variety spotlight on the show, asserting unwaveringly, “I hate AI.”

He continued by characterizing the technology as “the world’s priciest and most energy-consuming plagiarism machine” and likened AI-produced content to “a cow ruminating — a perpetually regurgitated cycle of absurdity.”

“Thank you, Silicon Valley!” he exclaimed. “Once again, you’ve messed up the world.”

“Pluribus” marks the former “X-Files” writer’s return to the realm of science fiction, reuniting him with his “Better Call Saul” lead Rhea Seehorn, who portrays a romantasy novelist who faces an apparently extraterrestrial menace.
