Anyway, he is clearly over all of that and a bit extra involved about the quickly rising prevalence of AI-generated performances.
“You do not need artificial intelligence to steal my soul. You possibly can already do it for nickels and dimes with good concepts and expertise,” Ford mentioned, referring to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. “He did a superb job, and it did not take AI to do it.”
Though he is clearly not pro-AI performances, Ford’s additionally not terribly fearful about his likeness being replicated in the future, telling WSJ “my plan is to preserve working behind that face until I don’t care what occurs anymore,” and including, “there will not be any need for me. There’s any person behind me. Doing what I did.”
In the identical interview, Ford addressed his 2023 movie Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny flopping at the box office in his signature dismissive style, saying simply, “shit happens.” Gotta love Harrison Ford.
