Adam Bhala Lough has made films about capricious characters. See his 2008 film The Upsetter: The Life & Music of “Lee” Scratch Perry, or his 2009 film about Lil Wayne, The Carter, or his 2023 HBO series Telemarketers, about the underbelly of the telemarketing industry. But his new film, Deepfaking Sam Altman, is his most experimental and unusual project yet. Aquarium Drunkard caught up with Bhala Lough to discuss the movie, AI’s potential and drawbacks, and why at the end of the day, we replace our humanity with efficient machinery at our own peril.
