In an age where technology is rapidly reshaping our lives, conversations about creativity and innovation have led to new shifts. Content creator actor singer Munnawal Falky raises thought-provoking concerns. Is an AI a double-edged sword? Munnawar, who is currently engaged in the release of First Copy, a crime thriller whose fans revolve around a piracy empire, has recently sat with Etimes for a candid conversation. At the same time, he shared an unfiltered view of how privacy affects the entertainment business. He also expressed his view that AI is a greater threat. Here is an excerpt from the conversation.
The content may be good, bad or ugly, but piracy is simply wrong
Piracy was a sad reality in the entertainment industry. Previously, it was limited to pirated CDs. Now it takes the form of a digital monster. And each year, the impact screams the industry from its roots. Describing the same in detail in the example, Munnawar said: It's not that they're not making money if they're infringing, but it's going to be difficult for producers to give birth to something like this next time.” “It's difficult to continually address production costs with the same effort. So, if there's piracy, everyone seems to be at a loss. And you rightly said that pirates are a sad reality, so that's what we want to create good content that we travel to.
According to Munnawar, audiences should act responsibly to make a difference. “The audience should be responsible for this. If they want to see entertainment, they have to make some effort.”
Is AI a bigger threat?
“I think it's going to make future generations lethargic,” replies Munnawar, talking about the less subtle subject of AI's acquisition.“It's already happening in the market. Now you can take things directly to your home. Previously, you were walking to the market and this was a good thing. Similarly, if AI is doing all the work, it makes you feel lethargic,” the actor says.He continues. “The younger generations, little kids make all their projects with AI. This kills your creativity and limits your thinking ability. You never go to the second option because you write one line and get posters and stories. So I think that's a bad thing for us. People who don't want to work on their own or think it's easy use AI. ” He added, “I don't like AI because it kills creativity. I don't even know what software is, I haven't used so far.” On the contrary, when “First Copy” director Farhan P. Zamma shared another opinion, Munnawar said, “As Fahhanbai said, “We have to upgrade to time,” this is something I don't want to upgrade.
