Gal Gadot Defends Making Doug Liman's Generative AI 'Bitcoin' Thriller Despite Being "Afraid" Of The Tech: "The Train Has Left The Station"

There were big groans when it was revealed that filmmaker Doug Liman (“Bourne Identity,” “Edge of Tomorrow”) would be enlisting heavy use of generative AI for his “Bitcoin” thriller with a very well-known cast cosistenting of Casey Affleck (“Manchester By The Sea”), Pete Davidson (“The King of Staten Island”), Isla Fisher (“Now You See Me: Now You Don’t”) and Gal Gadot (“Snow White”), the latter is now defending particpating in the project while promoting her new Prime movie “The Runner.”

During an in-depth chat with Josh Horowitz on his fantastic industry podcast “Happy Sad Confused” (via Variety), Gadot was pretty blunt with her reasoning for getting involved with a generative AI project, despite all the fear and backlash toward the technology from the threat toward film/TV jobs and the destrusctive enviromential impact alongside drain on community (mostly rural) resources to run these massive data centers (leading to electricity price hikes and drinking water containmination).
