Hannah Mullane for the @BBC: "Do you think filmmakers could be left behind if they don't embrace new technology like AI?" Justine Bateman: "(Laughs) It's the total opposite. You will absolutely be left behind if you're using AI. You completely stop your forward momentum as an artist by using AI, because you're going, 'Eh, I'm done thinking imaginatively about progressing within my skillset. I'm going to jump off that and start using something that regurgitates stolen work from other people.' You'll go forward creatively, if you don't use AI. You'll do the opposite if you use AI."

Replying to @JustineBateman @BBC
I’m not so sure. You still have to think creatively even if you use AI. One still has to describe the details of one’s imagination so that AI can display the output. It’s the actors that get left out.

Character is an illusion that is created by the experiences, perspectives, and creative choices of an actor. AI cannot do this. It can only mimic people and good modern acting comes from the inside out.
