Almost directly on the heels of Reese Witherspoon’s AI endorsement, Sandra Bullock has also come out in support of the controversial technology. Granted, Bullock wasn’t as gung-ho as Witherspoon, she did say that Hollywood shouldn’t be afraid to “lean into it.” Here’s the thing, she might not be wrong. AI is wildly over-hyped on both ends of the spectrums. It’s failing at large chunks of what it was marketed to do, and that’s a good thing especially for writers and artists. It’s also not drinking entire lakes just to run one prompt. It’s a Silicon Valley fad that does have more staying power than NFTs, which were blatantly a grift, but we are witnessing the inevitable burst if not slow leak of a bubble. (Variety)
