Ben Affleck Declares Ai No Match For Hollywood'S Creative Powerhouses

Ben Affleck Dismisses AI's Hollywood Threat

In a world buzzing with AI discussions, Ben Affleck remains cool as a cucumber about Hollywood's future. During a lively chat with Matt Damon on The Joe Rogan Experience, Affleck made it clear that he isn't losing any sleep over artificial intelligence swooping in to steal the limelight from Tinseltown's talented screenwriters. "If you try to get ChatGPT or Claude or Gemini to write you something, it’s really shitty," he exclaimed, pointing out that AI's offerings often lack originality and flair.

Affleck's verdict? AI is miles away from crafting the emotional depth and creativity that moviegoers crave. "It’s always going to rely fundamentally on the human artistic aspect of it," he asserted, reinforcing the importance of human creativity in filmmaking.

AI's Not-So-Scary Role in Filmmaking

While Affleck admits AI can be a nifty tool for reducing the drudgery in movie-making – like faking exotic locations without the travel hassle – he draws a firm line at AI handling the creative reins. "We can shoot the scene here in our parkas... but make it appear very realistically as if we're in the North Pole," he quipped, highlighting the tech's potential to save cash and time on logistics rather than scriptwriting.

Affleck underscored that AI might make certain tasks easier, but the heart of filmmaking – the storytelling and artistic vision – will always need a human touch. As for fears about AI-generated deepfakes, he assured listeners that existing copyright and likeness laws provide a safety net to protect artists' identities.

Real Talent Triumphs Over Technology

Change might be inevitable, but Affleck is confident that human talent isn’t going anywhere. He envisions a future where AI augments the production process rather than taking over. "It’s always going to need a real person’s artistic sense steering the ship," he stated, dismissing the notion of algorithms displacing directors and writers.

Bringing a sense of reassurance to the table, Affleck expressed faith in Hollywood adapting to tech advancements without losing its soul. Should AI ever start grabbing Oscars? Affleck will be the first to critique it as "really shitty."
