Wiz Khalifa has criticized the use of AI and deepfakes in the film Scream 7, calling it "trash" and "forced" for its use of current issues like AI. Khalifa argued that using AI to capitalize on current trends was too forced and corny. He suggested that filmmakers should not base their films on current events rather than current ones. The film was used to resurrect characters in the original Scream series through an AI deepfake.
