The digital age has been a highlight for contemporary stars, but for the veterans of Hollywood? Not so much. With the visibly diminishing gap between the world of stardom and the one without it, fans enjoy this proximity where the reel and real life seem one and the same. But following the evolution of artificial intelligence, the division between stars has been ever-expansive while reality takes a backseat with veterans going neck and neck alongside newcomers. Lisa Kudrow recently held Tom Hanks and Robin Wright’s latest film as an example to oppose the increasing trend of AI endorsement. 

Kudrow’s weighting on the advent of AI and its steady engulfing of the industry paints a bitter picture of starry relationships.

On a recent episode of Armchair Expert, Lisa Kudrow did not mince words while expressing her disappointment in Robert Zemeckis’ latest directorial, Here. Here starring Tom Hanks and Robin Wright was released by Sony Pictures in November, but was a box-office bomb grossing just $13 million worldwide. Kudrow believes the film is a clear “endorsement of AI” because of its de-aging tactics, which allowed the stars of the show to appear decades younger in certain scenes of Here. 

Kudrow suggested how they could have shot the scenes and played the younger sequences as a flashback. However, all she found and gripped from the flick was its validation of artificial intelligence. Kudrow is not an extremist in her stance against AI who believes it will “ruin everything” in the time to come. But she put up a burning question about what will remain after this kind of AI takeover because let alone actors, she is supremely worried about the “up-and-coming” stars who will resort to “licensing and recycling.”

While there are several such stars who have walked the road opposite of AI endorsement, Kudrow opened up about the phenomenon with more questions than she had answers to.

In her conversation on the Armchair Expert podcast, Lisa Kudrow was ready to set aside the disastrous conditioning of actors with the advent of AI for a moment to focus on the larger species, human beings. There have been many debates and debacles over the upper hand AI has gotten with the flow of time. Kudrow thinks the concerns do not only hover over the actors like a gloomy sky, but on humanity as a whole because soon unemployed people will earn “some kind of living stipend” just for existing.

With AI now trading shoes of actors to act, musicians to make music, and work for people who were once the experts of their own domain, Kudrow sees the trendsetter as a call for doom. Although she struggles to make amends with how it can “possibly be enough” for anyone, it goes without saying that Tom Hanks and Robin Wright’s Here is only the tip of the iceberg of such concerns.
