I wouldn’t consider myself a film nerd, but I can enjoy a good movie with CGI done well. At the same time, I would agree I prefer practical effects over CGI most of the time, it just looks ‘cooler’ to me.
My statement was more specific to inclusion of actors that are AI, which I hope doesn’t become a thing.
In general, I prefer when special effects are planned well and given the time and budget to be great, often times that results in a combination practical and CG effect, but the artists work hard to realize the shared human vision either way.
People hate CGI, because when they notice it, it’s done poorly. It’s done poorly either because technology doesn’t exist yet for it to be great or more often the case- when it’s under funded.
The whole point of media is to share a fundamental human experience, to reflect emotions, and to share an intended meaning. AI can’t do that.
