Ben Affleck shares candid thoughts on AI in hollywood, calls it a “Craftsman, not an Artist”

​Affleck clarified that AI will likely make filmmaking more accessible by reducing costs and simplifying technical processes, potentially opening doors for aspiring creators. He argued that this could enable more people to pursue projects like ‘Good Will Hunting’, a film he co-wrote and starred in early in his career. However, he emphasized that AI’s role would remain limited to supporting human creativity rather than replacing it.
