"There's something concerning happening in Hollywood... celebrities are willingly handing out testimonials about how much they love AI. Kim Kardashian posted her ChatGPT business convos; Allison Williams won't stop raving about AI; Grimes even previously offered to split royalties with fans who made songs using AI versions of her voice. And now, Reese Witherspoon. While promoting the 4th season of The Morning Show, Reese told Glamour how she feels about the increasingly controversial topic, and...it wasn't great!"
"It sucks to hear Williams talk about how she loves ChatGPT, but it really sucks to hear Witherspoon-who founded Hello Sunshine, the production company behind "women-centered" stories ( Big Little Lies, Gone Girl, Wild)-suggest that AI should be integrated into storytelling. Not to mention that practically every beach read she touches gets a film adaptation and a spot on the bestseller list."
"But don't worry, she had some encouraging words for those hesitant to welcome AI into their industry. "And you can be sad and lament it all you want, but the change is here. It will never be a lack of creativity and ingenuity and actual physical manual building of things," she said. "It might diminish, but it's always going to be the highest importance in art and in expression of self.""
High-profile entertainers are publicly endorsing AI and sharing experiences with AI tools and outputs. Reese Witherspoon advocates for women to be involved in AI because she believes it will shape the future of filmmaking and wants to help bring women into emerging industries that use AI. Critics express concern that celebrity enthusiasm for AI risks normalizing integration of AI into storytelling and could diminish jobs in writers' rooms. Witherspoon emphasizes that creativity, ingenuity, and manual craft will continue to matter, though those elements may diminish as technological change advances.
