Her surname checks out. Like, "respectfully sorry, I can't use AI. I'm better than that."
People who've never done any acting probably can't appreciate the silliness of this. It's not a bold, noble stance against AI, it's a normal conversation between a director and an actor about whether some post-production work will be necessary, and the actor says, "No, I'll just do it." People here apparently have no idea how completely normal and inconsequential this is. Maybe Emily Blunt is already an anti-AI icon for other comments, IDK, but any actor could have had this convo without having any opinion on AI.
