During a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, renowned actor Harrison Ford praised Troy Baker’s work as Indiana Jones in MachineGames’ upcoming title, The Great Circle. He emphasized that you don’t require artificial intelligence to capture the essence of a character like Indiana Jones.

“You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul. You can already do it for nickels and dimes with good ideas and talent,” Ford remarked, referring to Baker’s performance. “He did a brilliant job, and it didn’t take AI to do it.”

Ford’s continuous accolades towards Baker reflect a larger commentary on the reliance on AI-generated actors in the industry. He suggested that while AI can replicate likeness, it cannot replace genuine human talent or connection.

He further stated, “My plan is to keep working behind that face till I don’t care what happens anymore. I’ve been compensated. You don’t need to worry about me.”

This perspective indicates Ford’s optimism that the artistry and authenticity found in human performances will ultimately prevail over AI-generated content. As the entertainment field navigates the complexities of digital likeness legislation and actors’ rights, Ford’s comments bring both hope and reflection on the evolving landscape of the industry.
