Aquí tienes 10 citas textuales relevantes de actores, directores y sindicatos sobre la irrupción de la IA en la actuación, que pueden servirte para enriquecer tu reflexión (y tu blog Ágora de Ideas) — todas citadas con su fuente original:
- SAG‑AFTRA (sindicato de actores de EE.UU.):“To be clear, ‘Tilly Norwood’ is not an actor, it’s a character generated by a computer program that was trained on the work of countless professional performers — without permission or compensation. It has no life experience to draw from, no emotion and, from what we’ve seen, audiences aren’t interested in watching computer-generated content untethered from the human experience.” (sagaftra.org)(Fecha: 30 de septiembre de 2025)
- Emily Blunt:“No, are you serious? That’s an AI? Good Lord, we’re screwed. That is really, really scary. Come on, agencies, don’t do that. Please stop. Please stop taking away our human connection.” (Variety). Tras ver la imagen del “actor” IA.
- Whoopi Goldberg:“The problem with this, in my humble opinion, is that you are suddenly up against something that’s been generated with 5,000 other actors… It’s got Bette Davis’ attitude, it’s got Humphrey Bogart’s lips… And so it’s a little bit of an unfair advantage. … Because you can always tell them from us. We move differently, our faces move differently, our bodies move differently.” (Variety)
- Ben Affleck:“Movies will be one of the last things, if everything gets replaced, to be replaced by AI.” (Yahoo Finanzas). Actitud más matizada: reconoce el riesgo pero lo ve tardío.
- Nicolas Cage:“Robots cannot reflect the human condition for us. … The job of all art in my view, film performance included, is to hold a mirror to the external and internal stories of the human condition through the very human thoughtful and emotional process of recreation. A robot can’t do that. … If we let robots do that, it will lack all heart and eventually lose edge and turn to mush.” (The Guardian). Discurso de aceptación de premio, 2025.
- Otra cita del sindicato SAG-AFTRA:“Creativity is, and should remain, human-centered. … The union is opposed to the replacement of human performers by synthetics.” (EW.com)
- Anónimo actor en huelga (citado en Reuters): Carly Turro:“If it wasn’t a big deal to plan on utilising AI to replace actors, it would be a no-brainer to put in the contract and let us sleep with some peace of mind. The fact that they won’t do that is terrifying when you think about the future of art and entertainment as a career.” (Reuters)
- Declaración de quien creó la IA (Eline Van Der Velden – creadora de “Tilly Norwood”):“I see AI not as a replacement for people, but as a new tool – a new paintbrush. Just as animation, puppetry, or CGI opened fresh possibilities without taking away from live acting, AI offers another way to imagine and build stories.” (People.com)
- Comentario sobre la tecnología emergente (artículo técnico):“Artificially generated performers require no wages, they don’t require residual payments, they have no union membership, they don’t even require meal services.” (technologymagazine.com)
