Actor Chris Pratt offered some candid words this week about artificial intelligence, explaining the profound limitations he believes the technology has on moral and ethical fronts.

“AI is manmade and so it cannot be God,” Pratt said while promoting his new film “Mercy.” “It’s inherently flawed, and it always will be because it’s made by the brokenness of man.”
He continued, “So it will always be limited in the way we are limited. It is not God, and it will not replace God.”

During another interview with Tech Radar, Pratt also spoke about some of the benefits of AI, explaining there is a “harsh reality” when it comes to “new technologies.”
“We’re in a bit of an intellectual and creative revolution right now,” he said. “So I think that there are people who have had steady jobs in the film business that are probably going to be displaced by AI. That should be first and foremost recognized as what’s troubling and painful, and my heart goes out to people who would lose their jobs in this industry.”
But Pratt said AI also opens the door to “incredible opportunities for people to tell stories.” And he believes this could fuel entertainment options.
“I think you’re going to see a lot more movies and a lot more of people’s visions being brought to screen because of generative AI and what it can do to help take those visions and put it up on a screen,” Pratt said. “For the jobs that it offsets, I’m hopeful that it will create incredible opportunities for people to use it as a tool. It almost becomes a new department in collaboration of many.”
