# Nicolas Cage’s AI Advice: Don’t Get Replaced by a Digital Doppelganger!
Ah, Nicolas Cage—national treasure, meme-in-waiting, and now, wise sage of the silver screen. During an enlightening chat at the Newport Beach Film Festival, Cage dropped some knowledge bombs on young actors concerning the very real threat of artificial intelligence going all “clone army” on their careers. Spoiler alert: It’s not good! Grab your popcorn and buckle up for this amusing rundown!
## Key Points:
– **Beware of EBDRs**: Cage warned actors against letting AI create “employment based digital replicas” (that’s a fancy term for “creepy digital clones”), which are designed to imitate performances.
– **Dramatic Performances Matter**: He emphasized that the heart of acting is the raw emotion and creativity of a human being—something AI simply can’t replicate. (Note to self: robots might be bad at crying on cue.)
– **Career Consequences**: Nicolas highlighted the potential fallout, suggesting that letting AI manipulate performances could jeopardize young actors’ job opportunities. (How about a twist—AI auditions instead?!)
– **Advice for Aspiring Actors**: His words of wisdom? Keep it real

Visual Description: An AI humanoid figure resembling a pirate, adorned with a tattered coat and a high-tech tricorne hat, stands confidently on the bow of a sleek, futuristic ship with digital sails that shimmer like holograms. In the background, a stormy sea glows with neon waves, reflecting the tumult of digital reality, while fragmented images of classic film reels swirl around, symbolizing the impact of technology on the acting world. The pirate’s mechanical eye glows, evoking a sense of both dread and intrigue, while pieces of circuitry and robotic features hint at a blend of humanity and machine. A ghostly outline of Nicolas Cage emerges from the ship, representing the fragility of individuality against a backdrop of relentless digital replication.
