Actor Ashton Kutcher appears to thrive on drama. He can’t seem to keep his thoughts and opinions to himself. Once again, the former That 70s Show star’s outspokenness has landed him in some serious hot water.
Ashton is currently receiving a ton of backlash that has irritated his followers and angered the film industry and their employees. Ashton Kutcher and his wife, Mila Kunis, are still facing a lot of heat following their show of support for convicted rapist Danny Masterson. So many would think that Kutcher alone would find him keeping his head down so as not to draw any further bad press or attention to himself, Mila, and their family.
However, that is not the case. The Daily Mail writes that Ashton Kutcher’s recent comments regarding the benefits of AI in the film industry have created an entirely new problem for the actor. During a recent discussion with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Ashton shared his thoughts on the future of filmmaking, and they are not going over well with people related to the industry or the general public.
Variety reports Ashton Kutcher stated,
You’ll be able to render a whole movie. You’ll just come up with an idea for a movie, then it will write the script, then you’ll input the script into the video generator, and it will generate the movie. Instead of watching some movie that somebody else came up with, I can just generate and then watch my own movie.
Critics Strike Back At Ashton Kutcher’s AI Remarks
Ashton Kutcher’s comments quickly began a heated discussion across the Internet. Fans and those involved with the movie industry took great offense to Kutcher’s suggestion that the movie-making magic could be left up to a computer.
X began blowing up, with angry users blasting the actor. One furious user writes,
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***ing starve. Gutsy choice, bud.
The actor noticed the angry backlash and joined the conversation in an attempt to explain himself and his remarks further.
However, Ashton’s explanations didn’t go over well, and the drama and backlash appear far from over. So far, Mila Kunis remains silent on the matter. Some fans claim she likely wishes Ashton Kutcher would keep his thoughts to himself. It might save them both a lot of unnecessary drama.
