Reese Witherspoon is on the cutting edge of technology. Unfortunately, she seems to keep getting cut by that edge. In an interview with Glamour Magazine<\/a>, promoting the upcoming season of \u201cThe Morning Show,\u201d she announced that she\u2019d like women to join her in the blade factory, insisting that the future of filmmaking is artificial intelligence and it\u2019s time to get on board\u2014apparently completely forgetting how well her previous embrace of NFTs went.<\/p>\n

AI came up in the conversation because it will apparently be central to the plot of this season\u2019s \u201cThe Morning Show.\u201d But while it seems like the streaming series will have a more skeptical view of generative AI, Witherspoon is all in. She told Glamour, \u201cI\u2019m always looking forward to how media is evolving and how I can help be part of bringing women along in those emerging industries. And now we\u2019re doing it with AI. It\u2019s so, so important that women are involved in AI\u2026because it will be the future of filmmaking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Witherspoon, who does not have any writing or directing credits on finished products, is saying creatives need to get on board the generative AI bandwagon or get run over. \u201cYou can be sad and lament it all you want, but the change is here,\u201d she said, while also getting a few plugs in for her personal favorite AI products. Per the interview, she uses Perplexity \u201cevery day,\u201d as well as product search platform Vetted AI and the virtual assistant Simple AI to \u201csave time\u201d on tasks.<\/p>\n

And look, Reese has a real sense for these things. Back in 2021, she infamously tweeted, \u201cCrypto is here to stay. I\u2019m committed to supporting creators who have pioneered the NFT space, and encouraging more women to be a part of the conversation.\u201d She put her digital money where her mouth is, for better or worse, and launched an effort to turn NFTs into movies and TV shows<\/a> through her production company. It seems like that never actually came to fruition, just like most NFT \u201cmedia\u201d projects (remember the planned Bored Ape movies<\/a>?), but apparently, you can\u2019t get burned if you simply refuse to acknowledge the flames.<\/p>\n

Reese\u2019s effort to get more women into crypto didn\u2019t really seem to put much of a dent<\/a> in the male-dominated space, though frankly, women probably aren\u2019t all that worse off for avoiding the scam-ridden, faux economy of digital tokens and memecoins. But damned if she\u2019s not going to try to get women into another tech bubble. Maybe some women can secure a big bag before the whole thing goes bust, but regardless, Witherspoon will probably be just fine financially, so it\u2019s pretty easy for her to tell others to get involved.<\/p>\n

To Witherspoon\u2019s credit, while she took a pretty massive L on crypto, she did have solid foresight on one thing: she knew Quibi was going to be a bust<\/a>. Had her then-husband listened to her, maybe they\u2019d still be together<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reese Witherspoon is on the cutting edge of technology.
