AceShowbiz - Lisa Kudrow has weighed in on Robert Zemeckis' "Here" that sparked controversy. Despite the nostalgia of Zemeckis' "Here," its use of AI to digitally de-age the cast, including Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, has raised concerns about its potential impact on the future of filmmaking.

Kudrow recently criticized the film's use of AI technology, stating, "This is an endorsement for AI and oh, my God." Kudrow expressed fears that AI could replace actors, particularly up-and-coming ones, as performances could be licensed and recycled indefinitely. She also questioned the impact on human employment, wondering how there will be work for people in the future.

Tom Hanks, however, has a less pessimistic view of AI, emphasizing its potential as a movie-making tool. He noted that while AI was used to create realistic younger and older versions of the characters, it did not eliminate the need for hours in the makeup trailer or the involvement of actors in timing and cadence.

While Hanks believes AI is a creative tool, Kudrow worries about its broader implications outside the entertainment industry. She questions how humans will work if AI can automate tasks, leading to a potential living stipend but concerns about its adequacy.

The use of AI in "Here" has sparked a debate about the ethical and societal implications of advanced technology. As AI becomes more prevalent, it is essential to consider its impact on the workforce, creativity, and the future of humanity as a whole.
