The AI revolution has divided Hollywood into two camps: one side believes artificial intelligence could save significant money on special effects, screenwriting, and even actors, while the other sees it as an existential threat that could eliminate jobs and drive audiences away from theaters. Mercedes Kilmer, daughter of the late Val Kilmer who was cast in the historical action-adventure film As Deep as the Grave using generative AI, has agreed to allow her father, Val, to reprise his speaking voice in the movie. Despite some criticism, Mercedes believes that this decision aligns with the former camp. She also received positive responses from older people in the industry who see AI as a way to protect actors' IP rights.
