Emma Thompson Takes on AI with Colbert

Emma Thompson has shown time and again that her talents extend far beyond acting and writing. Her most recent viral moment occurred during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where she delivered a fiery and humor-filled tirade against the pervasive nature of artificial intelligence.

From Handwritten Notes to Digital Frustration

Thompson's rant wasn't aimed at AI's high-tech applications in Hollywood. Instead, her frustration hit closer to home. The actress and author expressed her annoyance with the seemingly simple task of transferring her handwritten work into a Word document. The repeated prompts asking if she'd like her work rewritten by the software became a symbol of AI's unwelcome encroachment into daily tasks.
