One of the saddest parts of the Trump-ification of America is people saying “Mamdani’s speech was AI,” because they’ve forgotten what a competent, articulate speaker is. This is the modern version of calling someone “a witch” for knowing how to start a fire. & it’s just as dumb.
“we’re here to play baseball” he tells himself after going out of his way to make a statement completely unrelated to baseball while invalidating an entire community that is the fabric of the very city he plays in

Steven Spielberg gives his thoughts on AI usage in filmmaking:
“I don't believe there is any substitute for the soul. I don't think that's an algorithm that is inventible... don't tell me I don't have the right antagonist in this story, don't tell me how to write my dialogue, don't tell me where the camera has to go…
If AI wants to help me find locations, that's great. Saves us some leg work… Use AI as a tool, but do not use AI as the final word on anything creative.”
