When it goes from helping someone to replacing someone, that\u2019s when it becomes a problem:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere I don\u2019t love AI is where it takes a position or there\u2019s an empty chair at a writer\u2019s table.  I\u2019m not willing to substitute, you know, because I don\u2019t really believe in sentience. I don\u2019t believe there is any substitute for the soul. I don\u2019t think that is an algorithm that\u2019s inventible\u2026<\/p>\n<p>A computer that thinks it feels more than we feel is anathema to the way I was raised and how I\u2019ll practice my own trade of producing and directing in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spielberg says AI could help save on legwork in certain cases, such as scouting locations, but he never wants it to tell him how to make movies:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t tell me how to write my dialogue for this character. Don\u2019t tell me where the camera has to go. And also don\u2019t tell me what the set should look like, unless AI is simply a tool in a large tool chest of the production designer.  Use AI as a tool, but do not use AI as the final word on anything creative. That\u2019s where I draw the line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spielberg\u2019s \u201cDisclosure Day\u201d is set to hit cinemas on June 12th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Universal Pictures Filmmaker Steven Spielberg has spoken about AI in filmmaking during a recent appearance on Michelle Obama&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471964,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[220,218,219,73545,61,60,80],"class_list":["post-471963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-bigslider","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
