## Summary

Sylvester Stallone has defended the use of artificial intelligence in filmmaking, saying it is “here to stay” and that the industry cannot stop its advance. He argued that creators who refuse to engage with the technology risk being left behind, while acknowledging that the creative community has legitimate moral concerns.

Stallone recalled proposing an AI-assisted Rambo prequel in which he would appear as the character at 18, but studio bosses instead cast the younger Noah Centineo. Speaking on The Overlap, he suggested combining human and AI performances and noted that people are already selling their images, predicting there could eventually be 20 Elvis avatars. His comments follow Eli Roth’s admission that generative AI was used in a small portion of scenes in Ice Cream Man.
