While some creatives are in staunch opposition to AI slop, Hideo Kojima isn’t one of them. Instead, he’s made a cheesy AI-generated short film with his director bestie, Danish filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn—all to advertise Prada’s “itinerant” private club, Prada Mode, and its invite-only New York event.
