Los Angeles, Dec 1 (NationPress) Actress Jenna Ortega has voiced her apprehension regarding the rising prevalence of artificial intelligence in both film and television. She expresses a desire for audiences to become "sick" of AI-generated content and to gravitate back towards authentic human artistry in the future.

At the jury press conference during the Marrakech Film Festival, the star of ‘Wednesday’ remarked, "There is a unique charm in the human experience… Throughout history, humans have a tendency to take things too far. It’s easy to feel frightened during these times of profound uncertainty, and it seems like we may have opened a Pandora’s Box.”

“There are elements that AI simply cannot replicate; it lacks the capacity for beautiful, difficult mistakes that define our humanity. A computer doesn’t possess a soul, and it’s something we can’t connect with or relate to on a personal level.”

Ortega further stated, “I don’t want to presume what the audience feels, but I hope we reach a point where AI becomes akin to mental junk food. We might indulge in it and then feel a sense of nausea without understanding why, leading to a moment when an independent filmmaker emerges from their backyard with a new creative spark.”

In a related note, acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho acknowledged the potential benefits of AI but expressed a wish to “destroy” the technology due to its threats to the creative sector, as reported by femalefirst.co.uk.

He commented, “My official stance is that AI is beneficial as it prompts humanity to deeply reflect on what only we can achieve. However, on a personal level, I’m planning to form a military unit to eliminate AI.”

Director Celine Song echoed the sentiments of Guillermo del Toro, who pledged to avoid AI in his projects. Song stated, “To quote Guillermo del Toro, who will be present at this festival, ‘AI’... it’s devastating our planet and colonizing our perception of images and sounds, which deeply concerns me.

“As artists, our primary mission is to protect humanity. We should focus not on what simplifies human life, but on the essence of living itself.

“The series Severance exemplifies how AI is encroaching on the complex beauty of human existence… My greatest concern is how it threatens what makes life both beautiful and challenging, ultimately making living worthwhile.”

“When collaborating with my cinematographer, it may seem as though cinematography is merely about visuals, but in working with a human being, I gain access to his entire life. The visuals we create together are infused with his life experiences, challenges, and failures—elements that AI can never replicate.”
