Mission Impossible actor Simon Pegg supports AI, says 'It can prevent...'

‘Mission Impossible: De Reckoning Part One’ actor Simon Pegg has spoken out in support of technology, saying that artificial intelligence could prevent mediocrity in Hollywood as threats posed by vancing AI could very well cause writers and directors to up ir game.

Speaking to ' Daily Telegraph', actor said, "It might be a good thing in that it will stop us from being mediocre. re is a lot of mediocrity out re sometimes.” He furr mentioned, quoted by 'Female First UK', "Things that pass for entertainment are not quite as good as y should be. So if it ups our game because we want to escape velocity of this creeping threat, n it's a good thing".

However, Pegg also believes that AI lacks imagination and emotion that is necessary for process of creating high-quality cinema, so an over-reliance on it could also cause deterioration in quality.

 “I think writing process, it is a process, and when you write a first draft you write something that you know is going to improve and you will improve. If we get AI to write those first drafts whole time people are only ever going to be doctoring scripts or giving notes. re’s going to be no sort of genesis in m, no kind of heart. I re a funny thing that says AI hasn’t h any childhood trauma so it’s never going to make good art. But it’s true", he ded.

Members of SAG-AFTRA union want assurances that ir work will not be snatched by AI as part of ir industrial action and Susan Sarandon described productions that use technology as "soulless".

'lma and Louise' actress. who joined picket lines in New York said, "I think it’s important to present human beings to human beings. Even putting aside money, I don’t know how people want to see a product that is soulless like that. It’s pretty clear to me that on a very primitive level, if you could take my face, my body and my voice and make me say and do something I have no choice about, it’s not a good thing".
