Rachel Zegler Is Scared of AI: It's 'Dystopian'

What stands out to me about this article is Tom Hanks’ statement that if AI were to replace actors in certain projects so that they could appear posthumously or at a certain age in perpetuity, audiences would probably notice, but lots of people wouldn’t care. That does seem to be the tide with AI recently: the average consumer can tell that something is a bit non-human, but they are more interested in the convenience and capabilities of AI and mostly unbothered by the moral implications or the fear of AI winning out over humanity. If the problem continues to expand, I don’t think Rachel Zegler’s word of “dystopian” is too far off for the effects it would have. However, I do like to believe that people still see the value in human artwork and that AI will stay where it belongs, helping with more tedious/ intricate technical jobs rather than taking the place of creativity.
