""Almost every scene had as many as 150 extras. Now, those people have to stay awake for 18 hours, be completely dressed in the background. Not necessarily in the movie, but they're necessary to be there moving around. And yet, it costs millions of dollars to do that," O'Leary said. "Why couldn't you simply put AI agents in their place? Because they're not the main actors. They're only in the story visually.""
"He also shouted out "Velvet Sunset" (he meant AI band The Velvet Sundown). And there's even an AI Kevin O'Leary wandering cyberspace. "We've got AI Kevin now and we did it in Abu Dhabi. I'm going back there in a couple weeks. I'm going to train the model even more," O'Leary said, adding that he's seeking full citizenship in the United Arab Emirates to work on AI, including making AI Kevin's voice more like the real guy."
Kevin O'Leary promoted using artificial intelligence to replace background extras in films to cut costs and reduce long shooting hours. He argued that extras are visually necessary but not main actors, so AI agents could fill those roles indistinguishably. O'Leary referenced the controversial AI actress Tilly Norwood and misnamed an AI band while praising AI applications. He confirmed the creation of an AI Kevin, described training the model in Abu Dhabi, and stated plans to seek United Arab Emirates citizenship to continue developing and refining his AI likeness and voice.
