Ashton Kutcher Mocked After Raving About How AI Could Replace Film And TV Crews

The actor lauded OpenAI's Sora program for its ability to replace stunt people, screenwriters and CGI departments.
Despite what you may think, this isn’t a bit from “Punk’d.”
Ashton Kutcher is receiving backlash on X, formerly Twitter, for his excitement over how artificial intelligence could potentially replace employees in the entertainment industry.
The “That ’70s Show” venture capital firm launched a $243 million fund in 2023 to invest in artificial intelligence start-ups. And recently, the actor spoke about “playing around” with a beta version of OpenAI’s video generation program, Sora, at an event in Los Angeles with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Variety reports.
“It’s pretty amazing,” Kutcher said. “You can generate any footage that you want. You can create good 10, 15-second videos that look very real. It still makes mistakes. It still doesn’t quite understand physics. … But if you look at the generation of this that existed one year ago as compared to Sora, it’s leaps and bounds.”
Some footage made with Sora could “easily” be used in TV and film productions, he said, potentially helping studios cut costs.
