By
Glenn Garner
Crisped on the outside, thoughtful enough on the inside.
Summary
Steven Spielberg shares his nuanced perspective on AI in Hollywood, stating he's withholding full judgment until he understands its applications better. However, he draws a clear line at replacing human creative roles—specifically writers—with AI tools, emphasizing that there is "no substitute for the soul" in creative work. He expresses discomfort with the idea of an AI occupying a seat at a writers' table that would otherwise be filled by a human.
