Some social media users are questioning AI — Ashton’s intelligence.
“That ’70s Show” actor Ashton Kutcher got a walloping on X, the platform formally known as Twitter, after he appeared to endorse artificial intelligence as an innovative — and cheaper — tool for moviemaking.
During a chat with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt in Los Angeles, Kutcher sang the praises of Sora, OpenAI’s generative video tool, Variety reported.
“I have a beta version of it and it’s pretty amazing,” Kutcher, 46, said.
“You can generate any footage that you want. You can create good 10-, 15-second videos that look very real. It still makes mistakes. It still doesn’t quite understand physics.
**SNIP**
But the actor really put his foot in his mouth with a later comment.
“Why would you go out and shoot an establishing shot of a house in a television show when you could just create the establishing shot for $100?” he asked.
“To go out and shoot it would cost you thousands of dollars,” Kutcher said. “Action scenes of me jumping off of this building, you don’t have to have a stunt person go do it, you could just go do it [with AI].”
Users on X were infuriated by the remarks.
**SNIP**
“Imagine being Ashton Kutcher stepping onto a film set now, after coming out and advocating for all those crew people to lose their jobs and f–---- starve. Gutsy choice, bud,” added @jfiliatrault.

Then what will slugs like DeNiro do?
He’s not tall enough to work fast food counters!
They’re all about to realize they’re not as special as they used to be. DeNiro is such a tool...but has gone beyond being relevant.
Well, they won’t be pumping gas; maybe they can learn to repair all the EV charging stations.
Yes good job for them!
If AI’s are replacing actors, who will solve all the world’s social problems for us? Aside from rock musicians, that is...
Why does everyone have to be “blasted?” How about, “Oh, I disagree. Carry on.”?
Tv shows and movies redone using AI to look like they were done in 1950’s.
