Love, Death + Robots creator Tim Miller. The new ScreenRant original series asks an AI chatbot personal and career-related questions about an entertainment industry professional, which are then confirmed or denied by that person. Given AI’s iffy track record when it comes to getting the finer details right, the series gives creatives the chance to clear up misconceptions–and share new details about their projects.

In Tim Miller’s case, that project is Love, Death + Robots Volume 4. The Netflix animated anthology series debuted in 2019 to rave reviews, and the quality hasn’t flagged. In fact, the show has taken home at least one Emmy award with every new release, which is the kind of consistency that makes Love, Death + Robots Volume 4 especially exciting.

The latest episode of Debunking AI covers Love, Death + Robots and how the would-be Goon director got his start in the industry. It’s also full of things AI said about Tim Miller that were wrong or, in his words, “total bull****.” Check it out, above, or read below for a taste of what to expect. More Debunking AI will debut soon at ScreenRant.

How Much Did AI Get Right About Tim Miller?

“How The F*** Did AI Know This?”

AI’s first attempt at defining Tim Miller was, in his words, “mostly true.” It said Miller was best known for his work directing Deadpool (2016), creating Love, Death + Robots, and co-founding “top visual effects company” Blur Studio. Miller said he would “put co-founding Blur at the top, and Blur is less visual effects–although we do some–and more animation, and game cinematics and trailers. Mostly true.” The chatbot also correctly stated that Miller studied illustration and animation at Virginia Commonwealth University, although Miller added “I also drank a lot of beer and ate a lot of 25-cent macaroni.”

The chatbot surprised Miller by revealing that he originally wanted to be a comic book artist, with his response being “How the f*** did AI know this?” before confirming that it was true. He continued, saying, “I also wanted to be a comic book writer, because … my love was drawing and reading, and comic books is the medium that puts both of those things together. It’s words and pictures. It doesn't get any better than that, as far as I’m concerned.”

“I love to draw, but by the time I was getting out of college, I knew I just didn’t have the skill necessary.”

The chatbot took a turn into the fantastical when it said “Tim Miller once worked as a stunt double for an action film in the 1990s, using his education in animation to help create realistic fight scenes.” In Miller’s words, “That is total bull****, although I actually like that answer better than the real Tim Miller’s life. It would be cool to be a stunt double.” Miller also debunked the chatbot’s statement that he was an avid gamer, although he itted he “did love video games” and that he still loves them–he’s just too busy to play.

Also incorrect was that Miller voiced a character in Ralph Breaks the Internet: “That is a load of s***.” He continued to say that “Sometimes directors like to step in the movie and be in the background or whatever. I am not a fan of that. I firmly believe that we should stay behind the camera, and that’s about it.”

Tim Miller Hypes Up Love, Death + Robots Volume 4

Although AI Got A Lot Wrong About The Season

“AI says season 4 of Love, Death + Robots features a star-studded voice cast including Michael B. Jordan, Gwendolyn Christie, Joe Keery, Zazie Beetz, Coster-Waldau, David Tenet, and Sylvester Stallone,” Miller quoted from the chatbot before continuing, “No, none of that is true.” He did confirm a number of cast , though, saying “Kevin Hart is in Volume 4. Mr. Beast is in Volume 4. The Red Hot Chili Peppers… John Oliver is in season 4, John Boyega… Ed Skrein … who played Ajax, the villain in Deadpool.”

AI also cited an episode titled “To Borrow” as exceptionally difficult, saying it “took a staggering three years to complete.” “Wrong,” countered Miller, who went on to reveal that the most challenging episode of Love, Death + Robots season 4 was “The Screaming of the Tyrannosaur”. “It was challenging for a number of reasons,” said Miller, continuing, “Number one, it’s dinosaurs in space, with a herd of triceratops, and then there’s a t-rex and these riders that fight on top of them. It’s really hard to animate and light, and it’s in space.”

The full Debunking AI episode runs roughly 20 minutes and has many more tidbits about Miller’s life and Love, Death + Robots Volume 4.
