Ben Affleck Says AI Stops Feeling Terrifying Once Filmmakers Actually Use It

- Once people see it as another computing tool rather than an abstract threat, the reaction can flip from fear to excitement
- AI is already being used on films where the same number of people, and sometimes even more, are still employed
