Rocky star Sylvester Stallone on AI: go with it or get trampled
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
Sylvester Stallone, 80, told The Overlap that AI is "here to stay" and that he'd still try a "half-human, half-AI" performance, even though he gets "blasted bombastically" by the creative community for saying so. He admits they're right, but says nobody can stop the avalanche and anyone who doesn't go with it will get trampled. It's the idea he pitched for the John Rambo prequel, where Noah Centineo now plays the young version of the man Stallone made famous in First Blood.
