Movie stars take a big shot at AI...

Whether you’re new or an OG, thanks for joining us. Let’s fry up something smart together. 🧠

What happened? On a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience (above), Ben Affleck and Matt Damon criticized the growing use of AI in Hollywood while promoting their new Netflix film The Rip.

What did they say? During the interview, Affleck argued that generative AI tools like ChatGPT lack the depth and originality needed for great storytelling, saying they produce “average” and “sh***y” results by design. Damon added that even when AI is used to mimic facial expressions or insert actors into scenes, it can’t recreate the emotional depth that comes from real human experience. Both stars emphasized that while AI might be helpful in technical tasks, it falls short in capturing authentic creativity.

Why is this important? Their concerns reflect a larger debate in the entertainment industry: as AI tools become more advanced, where do we draw the line between innovation and artistic integrity? For audiences who care about meaningful stories, it’s a question worth asking.

👉 This Sunday, Inside the Kitchen: I’m calling bullsh*t on Affleck and Damon’s anti-AI meltdown — and showing you what they don’t understand about AI’s role in creativity. (Hint: It’s definitely something to worry about.)

What’s up? ServiceNow has signed a multi-year agreement to integrate OpenAI’s most advanced models, including GPT‑5.2, into its platform, powering over 80 billion enterprise workflows annually.

How does it work? ServiceNow is a behind-the-scenes engine that helps businesses automate and manage key tasks like IT, HR, customer service, and finance. With OpenAI’s technology now built in, employees can ask questions or request actions in plain language—like “reset my password” or “escalate this issue”—and the AI will not only understand but also take action. The system pulls real-time data, respects company rules and permissions, and moves work through approvals and resolutions automatically. It’s also adding voice support, letting users talk directly to AI assistants.

Why does this matter? This move brings powerful, secure AI automation to some of the world’s largest companies. It helps teams work faster, avoid delays, and spend less time on manual tasks—freeing them up for more meaningful work and improving how businesses run behind the scenes. We are entering a world where almost every business integrates AI into its operations.
