Overview
- During a Late Show interview, Emma Thompson criticized AI as an "intense irritation" in her writing process.
- She said she drafts scripts by hand to preserve a brain-to-hand connection, a method Stephen Colbert said he also relies on to memorize lines.
- Thompson described word-processing prompts offering to rewrite her text and said she tells the software to "f–k off."
- Her remarks follow Joseph Gordon-Levitt's recent call to pause the push toward super‑intelligent AI until safety standards are set.
- SAG-AFTRA leaders have condemned OpenAI’s Sora 2 and argued that opt-out policies undermine consent, urging opt-in protections for performers’ work.
