All of this outcry over Tilly Norwood reflects a real anxiety in Hollywood about the role of AI in TV and movie making.

Because AI is well on its way to remaking an industry we all love and rely upon.

which is entertainment.

And you, the viewer, you are not going to be able to escape this.

And neither, for that matter, are the people who work in Hollywood.

So let's try to understand it.

It's Sunday, January 18th.

So let's get to it.

Joining me are two of my colleagues from The Times who think a lot about how AI is impacting Hollywood.

Brooks Barnes.

a reporter covering Hollywood for The Times out in Los Angeles.

Hey, Brooks.

Hey there.

And Alyssa Wilkinson, one of our film critics, who is here with me in the studio in New York.

Alyssa, welcome.

Good to have you.

Thanks.

It's good to be here.

So I think we need to establish, Brooks, what we're talking about here.

I think most of us intuitively understand that TV and filmmaking have used elaborate computer-generated imagery for a very long time.
