Cate Blanchett Fears AI Will Be “Incredibly Destructive” To Entertainment Industry: “Deeply Concerned”

I’m wondering if actors are willing to finally call out the unscrupulous and deviant behavior of Hollywood/film industry or is it only because they feel their job is threatened?

Good. Honestly I sincerely hope it crushes the entertainment industry. I’m so tired of unoriginal movies, reboots and rehashes, all with dismal reviews and entertainers promoting political messages.

Make film great again, and if that means relying on a computer for original content, so be it.

The rest of us have the same problem yet don’t make the millions they do. Fuck Cate.

That’s what was said about moving pictures coming from Vaudeville and live entertainment, and television when coming from Radio, and computer animation versus traditional hand drawn animation.

_Rich person has concerns on their industry being disrupted and hasn’t thought how all the common people will equally be disrupted while not having earned previous millions to ride existence out on_

Even if her industry isn’t disrupted, if all the commoners can’t get employment, they won’t be paying to see you star in films for millions.

I mean it’s just the obvious continuation of marvelisation. There will be the same larger than life visual effects but still empty and low energy movies for less money. And it’s partly the fault of the actors for letting their craft reach this point where they become expendable.

AI will do nothing but improve entertainment. If by “industry” you mean all the people who make money creating entertainment, then yes, she should be worried. But consumers of entertainment have no cause to be worried, and they’re not going to support entertainment workers just as a charitable exercise. The government already has hundreds of programs to re-educate workers for other jobs, so they will benefit from them I’m sure. /s

Over time it will, right now nothing crazy is gonna happen. But truth is the industry is already ruined. The old money and new bad ideas catering to that element has hollowed out an otherwise epic industry. Not to mention how absolutely predatory hollywood is. If there was a shift and a refocus on making entertaining art then there was a chance to save it but at this point we’ll see more artists being freed up to make real art by AI than we will see artists being held back. It’s like the music industry, everyone was confused and scared when you could be your own band in a bedroom with a laptop and self publish online. Everyone but the young artists and visionaries. Things will change but there will always be room for art. Will there be room for actors who call themselves artists and make more than most people earn in a lifetime on one single role? Maybe. But the really great ones will always have work if they keep in touch with the under current of artists that even AI will draw from

Nothing will ever be the same though but that’s just life. Hollywood is trying to freeze an industry and keep it in the same state as the 90’s or at least progress as slowly as possible into the new millennium that is already a quarter of a century old by now. They’re going the way of Kodak, Nokia and the Walkman. The true artists and lovers of art will continue, the royal class abd the knights of the current regime will fall. And so it goes

50/50 chance Hollywood becomes nothing more than an AI algorithms churning out trash

Blanchett (net worth 100 million), who has never shown any sign of caring about workers rights before, is suddenly concerned now that it’s not just the peasants affected by the economic disruption of technological progress.

What? Movies have been ass for like 10 years. Hollywood is already done. Unless you want to see the 1400th shitty reboot or another cheesy superhero movie with shitty CGI. Creativity and risk need not apply.
