- Steven Soderbergh uses generative AI for dreamlike visuals in an upcoming John Lennon and Yoko Ono documentary, describing it as experimental and non-essential
- Sandra Bullock announces a proactive stance on AI: 'lean into it,' use it constructively, and make it 'our friend' — echoing corporate-tech rhetoric
- Reese Witherspoon actively promotes AI integration in creative work, positioning herself as a relentless advocate for its adoption in Hollywood
Why it matters: Soderbergh gains creative flexibility; artists who resist AI risk being sidelined in studios chasing efficiency. A shift in production norms could reduce crew roles by 10–15% over five years, altering labor dynamics.
