\n\tLeonardo DiCaprio<\/a> expressed his doubts regarding AI<\/a> taking over Hollywood during an interview with Time magazine<\/a>, which has named the Oscar winner its entertainer of the year. While DiCaprio \u201cmourns the fact that talented and experienced people could lose their jobs\u201d because of AI, as reported by Time, he also believes AI is incapable of having humanity and thus can\u2019t be \u201cauthentically\u201d considered art.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt could be an enhancement tool for a young filmmaker to do something we\u2019ve never seen before,\u201d DiCaprio said of AI. \u201cI think anything that is going to be authentically thought of as art has to come from the human being. Otherwise \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\tMany filmmakers in Hollywood have come out swinging against AI in recent weeks. Guillermo del Toro made headlines<\/a> at the Gotham Awards for saying \u201cfuck AI.\u201d Speaking to NPR<\/a> a month prior, the Oscar winner said he\u2019d rather die than have to use AI in his movies.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAI, particularly generative AI \u2014 I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested,\u201d del Toro said. \u201cI\u2019m 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. \u2026 The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, \u2018What is your stance on AI?\u2019 And my answer was very short. I said, \u2018I\u2019d rather die.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJames Cameron recently told ComicBook.com<\/a> that he banned the use of generative AI when making his \u201cAvatar\u201d sequels, explaining: \u201cWe honor and celebrate actors. We don\u2019t replace actors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEmma Thompson, meanwhile, lost it on \u201cThe Late Show\u201d in October<\/a> when host Stephen Colbert asked about her feelings regarding \u201cthe coming AI revolution\u201d in Hollywood. Thompson, an Oscar-winning screenwriter thanks to \u201cSense & Sensibility,\u201d is especially irate when it comes to AI chatbots asking to rewrite her work.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIntense irritation. I cannot begin to tell you,\u201d Thompson said about her feelings on AI. \u201cBecause I write longhand on a pad, old script actually, because I believe that there is a connection between the brain and the hand. So it\u2019s very important to me. And then when I\u2019ve written something, I will put it into a Word document. And recently, the Word document is constantly saying, \u2018Would you like me to rewrite that for you?\u2019 And so I end up just saying, \u2019I don\u2019t need you to rewrite what I\u2019ve just written, will you fuck off?! Just fuck off!\u201d I\u2019m so annoyed.<\/p>\n
