"Craftsman is knowing how to work. Art is knowing when to stop." Is Ben Affleck's comment on the difference between AI and human creativity only half the truth?

Ben Affleck isn’t that worried about artificial intelligence, or AI, taking over his industry.

Ben Affleck has shared his more than two cents about the AI industry's collision with Hollywood. In order to be a standalone threat, AI would have to exhibit a higher level of artistic judgment rather than just producing eye-grabbing pig swill.
