First, documentaries disappeared from cinemas. Now, dramas only get finite time and people wait to see it on streamers. I don\u2019t know,\u201d DiCaprio said. \u201cDo people still have the appetite? Or will cinemas become silos \u2014 like jazz bars?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tDespite much change in the film industry, the Oscar winner added that he hopes filmmakers will continue to bring projects onto the silver screen. \u201cI just hope enough people, who are real visionaries, get opportunities to do unique things in the future that are seen in the cinema,\u201d he said. \u201cBut that remains to be seen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tDiCaprio recently shared his opinion on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/leonardo-dicaprio-ai-cant-be-art-no-humanity-1236445405\/\">artificial intelligence<\/a>, arguing that it could be used as an \u201cenhancement tool for a young filmmaker to do something we\u2019ve never seen before.\u201d However, the actor still noted AI\u2019s absence of humanity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cI think anything that is going to be authentically thought of as art has to come from the human being,\u201d he explained. \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.
