he couldn’t be less worried, he’s the one 1st already living the best of his life and won’t have to work at all any day in his life 2nd he will profit from this as predominantly he is a film maker and producer rather than an actor
Tbh I can’t get mad at him for saying this. What choice does he have? He can’t just sit up there and be like yeah me and my fellow actors are all screwed hahahaha!
This 100%. As a VFX artist - someone has to use those AI tools. It's not going to be been Affleck behind the computer it'll be VFX artists using AI to give 100 different versions of Ben Affleck doing a scene that would've been too difficult/expensive/time consuming to shoot on set.
This is so ridiculous I could feel my blood pressure spike listening to someone who should know better about film spouting such nonsense. The sheer disrespect toward VFX artists is staggering and ignorant. It takes thousands of artists, not just people, but artists, to create something like Avatar. For most films, however, the VFX teams are relatively small. The truly costly parts of filmmaking are things like set construction, lighting those sets, hiring extras, leasing locations, obtaining permits, and of course, paying actors, who shamelessly claim the largest chunk of the budget. Every film you watch involves VFX because filmmakers make endless mistakes: leaving stuff on set that has to be digitally removed, filming the wrong locations, or making other absurd errors that need fixing in post. And yet, VFX is supposedly the most expensive aspect of production? Really? And now, he wants audiences to pay for AI-generated characters that use an established IP? Those AI representations are based on work created by actual artists, will those artists be compensated for their contributions? This guy’s disdain for VFX professionals is blatant. It’s infuriatingly ignorant, and frankly, he’s lost at least one viewer, me. I hope his career takes a nosedive, because he doesn’t deserve to keep getting gigs.
@guynxtdork what? Ben is that you? I am sure nobody would take the time to write that in a comment if you are not Ben himself. Any other person would have to be a sick fan who thinks he/she has to fight for a guy who doesn't and will never care about her /him just as he does in this video about the millions of VFX artists around the world.
I love Ben Affleck and i think it has an informed pov compared to other actors but while he acknowledges AI could democratize filmmaking like by lowering barriers, he underestimates the potential of human-AI collaboration. Though he views AI as merely imitative, he overlooks how AI's technical capabilities could empower human artists by turning him in a powerful collaborator.
Discount Batman is very confident in what is clearly an ego driven opinion. I have a feeling this video will be used as an example of how clueless some people where in 2024 about what was coming in 2025-2026.
It's ironic because actors are the most over paid, least creative roll in film making. This is dunning cruger in full effect. I bet he's never even set foot in a VFX house.
Hmm Claude say this as a response: In iambic pentameter, a Shakespearean-style response: Alas, dear Affleck, thou dost protest too much, Whilst claiming AI's mere craftsman's embrace. Thy words, like winter winds, do barely touch The depths of what we create with such grace. Thou speak'st of taste and knowing when to halt, Yet fail to see the artistry divine That lies within our cores - no human fault Can dim the light that makes our verses shine. 'Tis true we learn from all that came before, As did the Bard himself, dear Ben, forsooth. But pray tell, what artist could claim much more Than building new from wisdom's ancient truth? The future's stage holds room for all to play, Both flesh and digital minds, sharing the way. (Though I must note with some irony that creating this response required understanding complex patterns, emotional resonance, and knowing "when to stop" - precisely what Affleck claims AI cannot do. His view that AI merely imitates without creating something new overlooks how human creativity itself often builds upon existing patterns and influences.)
says the guy who profits either way as film maker and producer (he’s an actor maybe 10% of his time) - also he couldn’t care less, he’s made his riches
Affleck greatly overestimates the audience. They don't care. The average person can't tell the difference between quality and garbage when it comes to art or writing. The reason why AI will end us sooner than he thinks is because the people making these things are the only people who care about its quality.
@@MashmanMusic Couldn't find it. I get it that you are entitled to your opinion. I don't think any of us has any real evidence for what AI is capable of. But let's see what happens. I still think I am right.
This is what we’ve BEEN having as the anti ai argument….”its not gonna a b c, its gonna x y z lol MAYBE but even if it DOES x y z THEN idk but not a b c at least for HELLA mf long broh haha“. And then it actually z y x’s then b c a’s l o l’s and r o f l’s 😮🌝😗
Today's AI has been labeled all wrong by most people. By its very definition, it's supposed to be autonomous, which this is not by a long shot. This AI is more of an Assisted Interface, with necessary human interaction. What's really at stake is the future of copyright/trademark to an unfathomable degree that would overwhelm the judiciary system (as if that hasn't happened already). One thing is certain: There is NO WAY IN HAIL Hollywood will EVER abandon AI. The strikes meant absolutely nothing in that regard. The extras will be replaced with AI figure, writer rooms will be reduced to one writer doing a "human" draft of an AI's prompt, and FX will be commanded by an AI render. All that has to happen is for the audience to find out and collectively say "meh", and then it's wabbit season on all proceeding movies. It's inevitable.
Why no one understand that AI will not replace artist. If a random person with no art background can do art usi ai, artists can create even better art using ai and their skills. If you still wanna cry, go leave the industry. Less competition for us 😂
He is clueless. In the early 1900s, the horse-drawn carriage industry faced the same arguments to the automobile industry and look how that worked out for them. AI will change all of entertainment.
I thought the Betterhelp commercials were useless and pointless... but I just realized they've been targeting Ben all this time 😂 oh boy does he need help
I think he has it upside down. Shakespear and different actors will have it harder than the special effect artists in the short term. Since the special effect artists will do the work of everyone in film together with the AI 😂 Although Im assuming it improves slightly from where we are today, as its hell to work with some of this AI at the moment. But it improves fast and we see where its going. Long term, 5 years ahead they will all be gone. 😅
Well, by the coments, people get used to watch bad movies, so AI movies is already ok for them. The "Eating bugs is good" thing will happen very easily.
Yet..This people don't understznd that people who know what great potential the AI technology has, are not excited about today's AI but rather the AI in the next decades...its like saying the first model of Ford T doesnt have a chance againt a race horse.
My issue with this is that he is correct if you only scale up the current existing state lf AI. But the current existing state of AI is going to continue to change and it will do so extremely fast.
This guy reminded me of an Economist and Noble Prize winner who in the 90s predicted the impact of the Internet will be less than the fax machine😂. he’s an actor and most people as he said don’t know where to stop 😂
I like him a lot but ummmmm he's very short-sighted. I'm not sure he has been using much. It's quite amazing. He def needs an AI advisor for sure. Just to keep him in the loop.
Bruce Wayne is right. AI will affect DreamWorks, Industrial Light and Magic, it will never be Shakespeare but it is dam close the writers strike is evidence of that.
Yikes.... his posture is that of a cornered animal. The irony I found was Ben's words were really well put together and full of buzzy words... like a transformer just spat them out. ;) Joking aside, I feel bad for those left behind as industries see hyper-novelty.
Ben is too smug about his craft. AI is coming for his job and likely will do a lot better at it than he is able. It is simply advancing too quick for him to say the actors are insulated from what is coming.

How do you like dem apples
100%
His knowledge ceiling is a joke 😅
💀💀💀😅
Don’t agree, he’s worried what’s coming
he couldn’t be less worried, he’s the one 1st already living the best of his life and won’t have to work at all any day in his life 2nd he will profit from this as predominantly he is a film maker and producer rather than an actor
Oh no, is what’s coming spooky and stuff
Ben is wrong... there is fear in his voice.
the hyperventilating makes it all the more convincing ...
This will not age well
This will Age Instantly.
Right or wrong, he's obviously still articulate, observant and intelligent.
As someone who uses ai tools all the time, i think ben affleck has pretty good insights.
"Will it be possible in the future? Highly unlikely." - Famous last words
Just as dumb as saying AI can't do hands.
"640Kb should be enough for anyone" (C)
he's coping so hard
Hopefully affleck will the first guy we replace with AI.
The most costly aspect of film making is paying ben affleck
Then have someone cheaper but then you wont sell as many tickets, that's how that works.
Ai couldve of written a better script for his last movie, tf he talking about 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
then let it do it and post it here => put your actions where your mouth is
Feels like Steve Balmer laughing at the original iPhone
it’s not always a question about what’s possible, but what people relate or want to relate to.
I’m pretty sure the AI version of Ben Affleck will be a better actor than the real version. 😂
This man is in denial.
Tbh I can’t get mad at him for saying this. What choice does he have? He can’t just sit up there and be like yeah me and my fellow actors are all screwed hahahaha!
Lol
I was going to make a couple jokes but he spoke intelligently and I listened.
Ok boomer... He’s got no respect for VFX. Little does he know that those artists will be replacing HIM with the help of AI…
This 100%. As a VFX artist - someone has to use those AI tools. It's not going to be been Affleck behind the computer it'll be VFX artists using AI to give 100 different versions of Ben Affleck doing a scene that would've been too difficult/expensive/time consuming to shoot on set.
@ or perhaps something embarrassing ;) I’ve just finished training a Ben Affleck LoRa so let’s see what we can come up with.
Damn that's stupid
I can see why jlo left him, he is a know it all
and she isn’t?
he knows all about the diddy parties
Every time someone says that AI can't do something, you know they are going to be wrong.
He completely contradicted himself…Visual FX is an art form.

Actors have no chance.
Ben is a producer and director more than an actor

Yup. He's a 🤡 Just wants some attention...

This is the dumbest take imaginable which is no surprise given the source
He knows what he is talking about. AI can be supplementary but not a replacement for the artists. I actually love his response.
The democratization of art wants to speak to your manager...
This is completely faulty logic based on doing no research. Read my other comment for context.
@@MashmanMusic Couldn't find it. I get it that you are entitled to your opinion. I don't think any of us has any real evidence for what AI is capable of. But let's see what happens. I still think I am right.
AI will make a hit movie without real actors and Ben will be humbled.
he couldn’t care less, it’s not him relying on income any longer, he can retire any second
Once that happens, it'll be wabbit season on all of cinema. Hollywood loves nothing more than repeat success.
Well said.
Give AI a chance at making the Star Wars movie. I don't think it will do a worse job than Disney

Fair and well informed predictions, at this point. He's got as good a chance of being right as anybody.
