AI Killed The Artist | 2025

A Documentary by Rodrigo Lopresti | RandM Pink Films

In an era of rapid technological acceleration, Why AI Killed The Artist poses a question that haunts every creator: what happens to art when machines learn to imitate the soul?

This short documentary, written and directed by Rodrigo Lopresti, explores the tension between artificial intelligence and human creativity. Through intimate narration, cinematic reenactments, and real-world examples, the film tracks the artist's journey from inspiration to obsolescence, or maybe resurrection.

“This isn’t just about AI replacing humans. It’s about what we lose when we stop valuing the story behind the art.”

Set against the backdrop of generative media, synthetic voices, and algorithm-driven storytelling, the documentary examines the emotional, philosophical, and creative toll of an AI-dominated creative industry. But more than that, it’s a call to arms, to remember why we make art in the first place.
