Unlike a lot of Hollywood, “Taxi Driver” scribe Paul Schrader is embracing artificial intelligence, saying he has “the perfect script” for what he believes is the imminent inaugural “AI feature.”

The 79-year-old screenwriter’s proclamation might ring bleak to come, but to Schrader, AI is not a replacement for people, “it’s just a tool” — albeit an inevitable one.

“Movies are going to be less and less two-dimensional. And also, I think they’re going to be more and more AI. I think we’re only two years away from the first AI feature,” Schrader told Vanity Fair in a new interview. “I was just on the phone with someone today about a script I had, and I said, ‘You know, this would be the perfect script to do all AI.”

Asked if he’s ready to fully accept the technology in filmmaking, the “First Reformed” director said that he is — as well as in other areas of the industry, such as the writing of movie reviews.

“AI is taking over film coverage … AI does better coverage than the average coverage,” he told the outlet. “And AI doesn’t have to favor anybody. Often, when you’re doing coverage, you get a hint that the person who’s paying you wants you to like this. You can’t give that information to AI.”

The “Raging Bull” co-writer’s remarks come amid Hollywood’s increased anxiety about AI, including the likes of “actress” Tilly Norwood, who’s reportedly sent talent agents into a tizzy to get her cast in movies and TV.

The use of “performers” like Norwood has launched the latest wave of protests from the SAG-AFTRA union, who worries about AI creations ultimately pushing real-life actors out of the industry, while those behind them profit off the past performances of unpaid stars.

“The union is opposed to the replacement of human performers by synthetics,” the union said in late September. “To be clear, ‘Tilly Norwood’ is not an actor, it’s a character generated by a computer program that was trained on the work of countless professional performers — without permission or compensation. It has no life experience to draw from, no emotion and, from what we’ve seen, audiences aren’t interested in watching computer-generated content untethered from the human experience.”
