\n\tLeonardo DiCaprio<\/a> is sharing his thoughts on artificial intelligence, and while he admitted it could be an \u201cenhancement tool,\u201d he said it could never be considered art.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Oscar winner recently sat down with Time magazine<\/a>, which named him entertainer of the year, and discussed the controversial technology. \u201cWhile he mourns the fact that talented and experienced people could lose their jobs because of it,\u201d Time\u2018s Stephanie Zacharek wrote, DiCaprio also noted how AI could potentially be beneficial to the industry.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt could be an enhancement tool for a young filmmaker to do something we\u2019ve never seen before,\u201d he said. However, the One Battle After Another star quickly added that the technology would never be seen as art because it lacks humanity.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think anything that is going to be authentically thought of as art has to come from the human being,\u201d DiCaprio continued. \u201cOtherwise \u2014 haven\u2019t you heard these songs that are mashups that are just absolutely brilliant and you go, \u2018Oh my God, this is Michael Jackson doing the Weeknd,\u2019 or \u2018This is funk from the A Tribe Called Quest song \u201cBonita Applebum,\u201d done in, you know, a sort of Al Green soul-song voice, and it\u2019s brilliant.\u2019 And you go, \u2018Cool.\u2019 But then it gets its 15 minutes of fame and it just dissipates into the ether of other internet junk. There\u2019s no anchoring to it. There\u2019s no humanity to it, as brilliant as it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs AI continues to loom over Hollywood, many industry creatives have slammed the technology. Earlier this year, SAG-AFTRA and several actors\u00a0<\/a>criticized the news that a newly launched AI talent studio was looking to get representation for\u00a0computer-generated actress Tilly Norwood<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tMore recently, Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro declared at the Gotham Awards<\/a> that his movie Frankenstein, starring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi, was made \u201cfor humans, by humans,\u201d before leaving the stage with a mic-drop \u201cfuck AI.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leonardo DiCaprio is sharing his thoughts on artificial intelligence, and while he admitted it could be an \u201cenhancement…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":175032,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[53741,365,21911,363,364,14383,111,139,69,145],"class_list":{"0":"post-175031","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-a-i-artificial-intelligence","9":"tag-ai","10":"tag-artifical-intelligence","11":"tag-artificial-intelligence","12":"tag-artificialintelligence","13":"tag-leonardo-dicaprio","14":"tag-new-zealand","15":"tag-newzealand","16":"tag-nz","17":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175031\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
