Actor Emily Blunt has revealed that she chose not to use artificial intelligence while filming a crucial sequence in Disclosure Day, saying she is \u201ca bit terrified\u201d of the technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking on <\/span>Hot Ones<\/span>, Blunt discussed a major scene in the upcoming science-fiction thriller directed by Steven Spielberg, in which her character gradually transforms and begins speaking in a non-human language.<\/span><\/p>\n

Describing the sequence, Blunt said, \u201cIt\u2019s a four-minute one that we shot that leads up to that moment where she\u2019s gradually sort of disintegrating.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She said the production considered different approaches for the vocal effects but she was uncomfortable with relying on artificial intelligence. <\/span>\u201cThere were various ways you could do it. You could go the AI route, which I\u2019m a bit terrified of. I thought I could make some really strange sounds,\u201d Blunt said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, the actor worked directly with the film\u2019s sound department and recorded a range of sounds herself. According to Blunt, she produced clicking noises, humming sounds, consonant-heavy vocalisations and unusual breathing patterns, which were later developed by the film\u2019s sound designer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI said maybe I could come in and we\u2019ll just do a range of weird sounds. And it\u2019s what we did,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI did sort of the clicking sounds, I did sort of humming sounds, consonant sounds, breathing strange sounds. The sound designer went away and created that weird sound,\u201d Blunt added.<\/span><\/p>\n

The actor\u2019s comments follow her earlier criticism of artificial intelligence in the entertainment industry. During a previous appearance on a Variety podcast, she had expressed concern about AI-generated performers and the growing use of the technology in Hollywood.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGood Lord, we\u2019re screwed. That is really, really scary,\u201d Blunt had said at the time, urging agencies not to \u201ctake away our human connection.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
