Jenna Ortega recently opened up about the risks of artificial intelligence in Hollywood at the Marrakech Film Festival on November 29th.
The Wednesday star, who sits on the jury at the Moroccan festival, was asked to share their opinion on the “proliferation of artificial intelligence in cinema” at the press conference on Saturday morning.
“We just always take things too far and I think it’s very easy to be terrified – I know I am – by deep insecurities,” the 23-year-old said, per Black.
Jenna revealed that with AI “it kind of feels like we’ve kind of opened Pandora’s box”.
Interestingly enough Miller’s girl actress noted that AI could not take place by artists and creative communities.
Jenna believed that in these difficult and confusing times, “it often pushes the artist to talk more, to do more, for there to be this new awakening and passion and protection, and I would assume and hope that’s the case”.
However Beetlejuice Beetlejuice actress mentioned that there are “certain things that AI just isn’t able to replicate”.
“There’s beauty in difficulty and there’s beauty in failure, and a computer can’t do that. A computer has no soul,” Jenna explained.
Meanwhile Scream VI actress expressed hope that AI would get to a point where “it becomes a kind of mental junk food”.
“I think as horrible as it is to say, sometimes the audience has to be deprived of something in order to appreciate something again,” Jenna concluded.
