Nicolas Cage Cautions Against Actors Using AI: ‘Robots Cannot Reflect the Human Condition’

Nicolas Cage warned against using AI in any capacity, stating that it opens the floodgates for more artificial creativity and threatens film and art.

In 2022, Cage starred in the film The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, which used AI to create a template of the actor’s face in order to make him look younger on screen.
