‘Independence Day,’ ‘Training Day’ directors embrace AI, shut down claims it can replace humans
Fox News
Roland Emmerich and Antoine Fuqua, the directors behind hits like "Independence Day" and "Training Day," respectively, shared their feelings on AI at Comic Con last weekend.
"… it’s not like this AI does everything for you. You still need to choose the right actor, shoot the right scenes, do the right thing." "It doesn’t replace human feelings and human emotions. There’s things that can only happen in the moment with another human being that no computer can ever achieve."
"I think it’s a tool. That’s what it is. It just makes your job as a director more easy," Emmerich said, per Variety. "That’s what’s really important, because it’s not like this AI does everything for you. You still need to choose the right actor, shoot the right scenes, do the right thing. And then AI can really help you in doing that."
Emmerich is best known for directing films like "Independence Day," "The Patriot" and "The Day After Tomorrow."
