Ben Affleck's Viral Take: AI Won't Replace Hollywood's Human Touch

Ben Affleck expressed skepticism about AI's ability to replace human creativity in filmmaking, stating that movies will likely be one of the last areas to be overtaken by AI. Speaking at the CNBC Delivering Alpha summit, Affleck argued that while AI can mimic existing styles, it lacks the creative intuition and taste required to create original content. He believes AI will help reduce costs and democratize filmmaking but won't be able to originate new series like "Succession." Affleck described AI as a "craftsman at best," capable of imitation but not innovation.
