Filmmaker says AI documentary platforms "eugenist cult leaders" and promotes a rival film

A commentator says they regret taking part in "The AI Doc," arguing it platforms eugenist cult leaders such as Eliezer Yudkowsky who lack expertise on AI. They recommend watching the documentary "Ghosts in the Machine" instead and point readers to Emily M. Bender's review comparing the two films.

I made the mistake of participating in this terrible film. They platform eugenist cult leaders who know zero about "AI" like Yudkowsky & its propaganda.

Watch Ghosts in the Machine instead: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39150080/

As the development of artificial intelligence accelerates, more voices inside and outside the industry are warning that the technology poses major risks to humanity. The new film, "The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist," features interviews with leading AI executives, researchers, as well as critics, who all voice similar concerns. “I’m really scared, and I’m struggling in my own life to sort of compartmentalize what I learned, what I know, what I understand, what I see happening around me,” says filmmaker Daniel Roher. https://www.democracynow.org/2026/10/8/the_ai_doc
