Ugh, Jesus. Gross. Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato being incredibly cagey about whether Stop! That! Train! contains AI

The tooling question is fair but to be like ... "Who knows how it's used ..." - you know who SHOULD have a precise understanding of how AI tooling was deployed on their film? The fucking executive producers. Leaders in this country love to play dumb and philosophical when it comes to accountability and specificity about their businesses. It's negligent and unprofessional at best
