Ben Affleck recently addressed the influence of artificial intelligence on Hollywood, stating that it is extremely improbable that AI would kill the movie business.
At this month's 2024 CNBC Delivering Alpha investment symposium, Affleck told Squawk on the Street co-anchor David Faber, "Movies will be one of the last things, if everything gets replaced, to be replaced by AI."
"AI can create you fantastic imitation poem that sounds Elizabethan. "It cannot write you Shakespeare," the Argo star stated.
Ben pointed out: "The function of having two actors or three or four actors in a room and the taste to discern and construct… that is something that currently entirely alludes AI's capability and I think will for a meaningful period of time."
The actor and creator clarified that AI's capacity is to "dis-intermediate the more laborious, less creative, and more costly aspects of movie-making that will allow costs to be brought down, that will lower the barrier to entry, that will allow more voices to be heard, that will make it easier for the people want to make 'Good Will Huntings' to go out and make it" .
Ben reasoned, "AI is better described as a craftsman. Craftsmen can learn how to manufacture Stickley furniture by sitting next to someone and emulating their method.
"That's how huge video models and language models generally function. They're just cross-pollinating things that already exist. "Nothing new is created," noted the Air actor.
Ben linked artificial intelligence to "craftsmanship," which is about "learning how to work."
"Art is understanding when to quit. And I believe that knowing when to quit will be a tough thing for AI to learn due to taste, consistency, and quality," said the Hypnotic performer.
Meanwhile, Ben stated that the "visual effects business" may be influenced by AI.
"Because what previously cost a lot of money will now cost much less. It is going to pound that space, and it already has," he said.
