I was so disappointed and disgusted when she posted the "I've been muzzled" etc. crap after the election. Out of the blue.

I'd been following her on IG for her strong and well-informed advocacy against the eventual use of AI to replace or augment actors in films and TV. That subject is pretty much 100 percent of her IG presence -- until Nov. 5. She is actually knowledgeable about the many plans in studios to use AI much more extensively as soon as possible technologically. She was, maybe still is for now, the official adviser to the actors' union, SAG-AFTRA, on AI concerns. She earned a degree in computer science and digital media management, so she has tech background for what she's talking about, which gave her even more credence.

And then, that post about being muzzled etc.

She was so right about AI and so good at reminding everyone that studios crave it, at the eventual expense of actors. But she's undone that work, I think, by this sudden focus on feeling WTF ever this is she's claiming now. It's a pity, because AI is a genuine future threat to acting, but she's not going to be listened to on that topic by her peers or studios, after this dumb self-outing. Should they still listen, and not let her now obvious political leanings affect discussion on AI? Probably, but she's tanked her credibility with a lot of people. For nothing, because I can't figure how she was held back, since she's not an active actor liable to lose roles for her politics. [/quote]

What a simpleton. You want to write her off before she even says what she wants to say? Maybe you will actually agree but you’re too close minded to even listen.[/quote]
