Nicolas Cage Slams AI Actors, Defends Human Emotion

Nicolas Cage has issued a stark warning against the use of artificial intelligence in acting, asserting that actors who allow AI to influence their performances are heading towards "a dead end." He believes robots are incapable of truly reflecting the human condition.

During his Saturn Awards acceptance speech for Best Actor (Dream Scenario), Cage used the platform to express his concerns about AI's encroachment on the art of acting. He emphasized the importance of human emotion and thoughtfulness in artistic creation, arguing that AI-generated performances lack authenticity and heart. He stated that allowing AI to manipulate performances, even slightly, will ultimately lead to a prioritization of financial gain over artistic integrity.

Cage's stance echoes similar concerns voiced by other actors, particularly in the voice acting industry. The use of AI to recreate voice performances, even in major video games, has sparked significant controversy. Ned Luke (Grand Theft Auto 5) and Doug Cockle (The Witcher) have both publicly criticized AI's impact on voice actors' livelihoods, describing AI-powered chatbots as a form of theft.

The filmmaking community is also divided on the issue. While Tim Burton expressed unease with AI-generated art, Zack Snyder advocates for embracing AI's potential in filmmaking.
