The Oscar winner recently sat down with Time magazine, which named him entertainer of the year, and discussed the controversial technology. "While he mourns the fact that talented and experienced people could lose their jobs because of it," Time's Stephanie Zacharek wrote, DiCaprio also noted how AI could potentially be beneficial to the industry. "It could be an enhancement tool for a young filmmaker to do something we've never seen before," he said. However, the One Battle After Another star quickly added that the technology would never be seen as art because it lacks humanity.

"I think anything that is going to be authentically thought of as art has to come from the human being," DiCaprio continued. "Otherwise - haven't you heard these songs that are mashups that are just absolutely brilliant and you go, 'Oh my God, this is Michael Jackson doing the Weeknd,' or 'This is funk from the A Tribe Called Quest song "Bonita Applebum," done in, you know, a sort of Al Green soul-song voice, and it's brilliant.' And you go, 'Cool.' But then it gets its 15 minutes of fame and it just dissipates into the ether of other internet junk. There's no anchoring to it. There's no humanity to it, as brilliant as it is." As AI continues to loom over Hollywood, many industry creatives have slammed the technology. Earlier this year, SAG-AFTRA and several actors criticized the news that a newly launched AI talent studio was looking to get representation for computer-generated actress Tilly Norwood. More recently, Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro declared at the Gotham Awards that his movie Frankenstein, starring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi, was made "for humans, by humans," before leaving the stage with a mic-drop "fuck AI."
