  1. GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you Peter on a subject that is not exactly good news for actors, but we are out of a war zone and not talking about surpassing a tipping point for once and it is AI which is once more back on center stage and looking more sinister than ever as it can now go into the creative arts and retire thousands of would-be actors who would have made acting their careers in another era. Before he died, I was listening to Johnny Haliday, the late French superstar, who when asked about AI or the way the music business has become, he said that it was so great to be riding by on his chopper and see a fan, someone walking on the sidewalk carrying one of his records. He said they were real things back then and fantastic creations with album covers all very distinctive which showcased artists and photographers. I like LPs because you can hold them and the 45s had photography or paintings or poetry or lyrics or all of the above. Then: poof; no product no cry. Graphic artists used to have good jobs dreaming up album covers. Well, it still is here, but as we all know the popular song has been so watered-down by technology that now you can go into a studio and do only one take on the vocals, because the sound engineer can correct your voice with a program and make it sound perfectly in tune. Young people love these developments, but I like going in a studio and singing as many times as it takes before I get it right. That does not mean anything other than I am stuck in the past to most musicians in today's world. But getting back to AI and how actors are going to get photocopied without making a dime so-to-speak, shows us that what this way comes is what the iron horse was to Geronimo. Artists and actors may not end up in reservations, but we are going to have to dig deep in our imaginations to become like beavers which are master water managers; we must find the way to stay in our chosen fields no matter what comes out of those AI labs.
