Artificial intelligence has become a major talking point in society. AI is seen as a major threat by some, however, others believe AI has the potential to improve society.
I feel that AI can serve society in many different ways. AI can help society get access to information far easier. AI can also help streamline research, making productivity faster. AI can also help us create schedules for our own personal lives. That being said, I feel AI poses a massive threat. The fact that AI can replace entire workforces is really scary. Especially since now more than ever it feels that corporations have the most power in the country. AI will only add to their power.
Not to mention the threat AI poses to the creative side of humanity. AI art and video production are at massively dangerous heights. I feel that AI is a blatant and dangerous attack on human expression.
OpenAI’s Sora 2 has significantly upgraded what AI video generation is capable of.
The implications of AI video generation is worrying, but undeniably interesting. We are currently in the infancy of AI generated video. Although it has been fun to see what people come up with, I feel that if unchecked, AI generated video is dangerous and an attack on human creativity.
Hollywood has been fundamentally disrupted from the rise of AI at this moment in time. An important component to the 2023 actor’s strike centered on actor’s fears regarding how studios intend to use AI in regards to using their likenesses.
Since then Hollywood has slowly developed a rather worrying relationship with AI. In recent times we’ve seen Hollywood utilize AI to create Tilly Norwood, the first AI actress.
I feel that Norwood is one of the silliest things I’ve ever seen come out of Hollywood. I hate celebrity culture, but at least they are real people. No one should ever care about an AI actress.
At the 2025 Academy Awards, Adrian Brody won Best Actor for his performance for “The Brutalist.” This win came into much scrutiny due to the fact AI was used to enhance Brody’s accent.
“I think if they go as far as making fake actors, I’m against that, they need to support real people making real movies,” Alburro Hernandez, a digital video production major at FCC, said.
Furthermore, a film titled “Critterz” is currently in development. The movie will be AI generated and is expected to premier at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.
That being said, AI can serve practical use for film making.
“I think it can be used as a tool,” Hernandez said. “I sometimes use AI to fix small issues like audio if it’s messed up.”
Only a few weeks ago, I came across a video on Tik Tok, the video was a simple vlog that took place on a train. I watched the video, thinking nothing of it and continued my day. A few hours later I came across another video that broke down the video I had seen earlier. The vlog I had watched earlier had been completely AI generated and I had no idea.
And AI is only going to get more advanced.
The potential implications of AI go far further than just Hollywood. Retail jobs can eventually be replaced, fast food ordering, transportation jobs, jobs revolving around writing, even teaching jobs are under some threat.
“I think in the future, technology can get to a point where they really don’t need humans, but you would still need humans to keep AI running,” said C.J. Phillipes, an auto collision repair major.
As this generation grows up and learns about the world, so will AI. In some ways I think this generation will need to work with AI. In all honesty I’m not totally sure what that means, but AI isn’t going anywhere and is going to continue to improve
“I want it to be just for stuff that’ll help us do what we don’t feel like doing. I’d like it if AI could do my laundry for me,” Hernandez said.
When we look back in history human innovation has consistently taken time to get used to. When computers were getting more advanced and common in households, similar conversations were taking place.
