In my reporting, it shows that, you know, they're curious people.

They're interested in tinkering with it.

In particular, directors are really interested in what this technology can do, and so they've started to experiment more.

Absolutely.

There are whole categories of jobs that are under direct threat.

For example, the dubbing business.

You've got technology now that for YouTube shows, for example, they press a button and the actor who performed in English, that voice is instantly now speaking Portuguese or Russian or English.

Japanese.

And that is just the start of what's going to come to streaming services.

These are global platforms.

And so when you start cutting out entire professions, it starts getting really scary for people.

I do.

That's what makes a documentary a documentary.

And on the fictional side, does the audience have the right to know that AI was used to juice up a performance?

Does the viewer have the right to know that Adrian Brody's accent in The Brutalist was enhanced?

The Academy Award.

He won Best Actor for that performance.

Speaking.

Yes.

Yes.
