  "account": "Actor Gal Gadot, known for her roles as Wonder Woman, has found herself at the center of controversy regarding a new biographical thriller called \"Bitcoin.\" The film, starring Casey Affleck and Pete Davidson, has drawn criticism due to its use of AI technologies in the production process. Producers disclosed during a UK casting call that actors, including Gadot, would need to perform on a \"markerless performative capture stage\" using advanced AI tools. This move has sparked outrage among industry professionals and fans alike, who argue that AI is putting human performers out of work. Despite her fears regarding AI's impact on the industry, Gadot has decided to embrace the technology, stating that she is \"playing with it and learning it and trying to educate herself.\" She emphasized that she spent six months meticulously examining every aspect of the AI component to ensure her performance remained unaffected. However, her comments have been perceived as tone-deaf by many, leading to widespread ridicule and discontent. The backlash highlights the contentious nature of AI in the entertainment industry, with some claiming that refusing to use AI puts one at a disadvantage. Despite this, the shift in public opinion towards AI might soon change the dynamics, potentially rendering Gadot's participation in this AI-driven project as an embarrassment.",
