Kevin O’Leary Says ‘Marty Supreme’ Could ‘Save Millions’ With AI Extras

It's truly astounding just how stupid Kevin O'Leary's takes are in this piece. Can we all collectively ignore this insufferable asshole from now on?

“Why couldn’t you simply put AI agents in their place? Because they’re not the main actors. They’re only in the story visually. [You could] save millions of dollars, so more movies could be made. The same director, instead of spending $90 million or whatever he spent, could’ve spent $35 million and made two movies.”

1) Extras are how a ton of people get their foot in the door, which is how you sustain the future of an industry

2) More movies won’t be made if they’re all AI slop; supply and demand, the basics of the bullshit you claim to be an expert in, asshole

3) “The same director could’ve spent…”; “the director” is one small piece of a huge machine, not a CEO that gets to dictate every element of the project

4) “90 million instead of $35 million.” Background actors get paid about $100 a DAY. No movie in the history of ever has spent $55 million on extras.

I don’t think anyone has ever said anything so stupid in so many ways, honestly
