“Yeah, absolutely.”

Runway CEO Cristóbal Valenzuela was asked on stage if AI could replace human actors. “Yeah, absolutely. I think it’s already happening in a way,” he said, The Rundown AI reports, via Variety.

Nvidia’s Richard Kerris argued that Marlon Brando improvising with a cat in The Godfather could never be prompted.

Valenzuela answered: “Not now, but I think models are going to get probably to a point where you can probably direct them in a very similar way.”
