I did not want AI to have anything to do with my performance. We had to protect that, to such an extent that SAG called my lawyers to ask for pointers to update the SAG contract to protect other actors. As far as the performances, it\u2019s all me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She added, \u201cI am afraid of AI, but I am going to be afraid and look away? No. I am afraid but I am playing with it and learning it and trying to educate myself. The train has left the station. You\u2019re going to work with it or be out of the game completely. I am trying to make the best of it and protect what I can protect. The AI component in this movie is for sets and the lighting. We had a broad crew and a lot of people were working on this movie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gal <\/strong>also discussed the difference between making this movie and other projects.

As an actress, I wait so much. There\u2019s the legendary quote: \u2018You are being paid to wait as an actor.\u2019 Here we would film nonstop because we didn\u2019t have to wait for lighting. We would film on and on and on for 10 hours. It was amazing\u2026 as actors you\u2019re always hot. You don\u2019t cool off. We\u2019ll see.
