Stallone Embraces AI, Warns Actors of Industry Shift
22 Oct
Summary
- Stallone believes AI is here to stay and unstoppable.
- He predicted AI will make acting a more difficult profession.
- Stallone suggested actors consider careers in gaming instead.
Sylvester Stallone recently shared his evolving perspective on artificial intelligence, acknowledging its permanence in the creative landscape. He spoke about receiving criticism for his past attempts to integrate AI into film projects, such as de-aging actors for roles.
Stallone emphasized that AI's advancement is inevitable, comparing it to an uncontrollable "avalanche." He expressed that those who resist this technological shift risk being "trampled by it." This sentiment comes as a new "John Rambo" origin story film is in development, featuring Noah Centineo in the lead role, a project Stallone is not involved in.
Looking ahead, Stallone foresees AI creating significant hurdles for newcomers entering the acting profession. He candidly advised aspiring performers that they have chosen an "exceptionally difficult profession" that will only become more challenging due to AI. He even suggested his daughter, an actress, pursue alternative career paths like gaming.
