People Are Realizing How Smart Ben Affleck Is After He Articulated The Reality Of AI In Hollywood

“This is one of the best takes I've heard on AI. Totally didn't expect it to come from this guy,” another user confessed.

But others were keen to point out that this is actually in keeping with Ben’s reputation, with one viral tweet reading: “You must understand this: he’s the smart one.”

And somebody else added: “Sick of people always acting surprised that very intelligent and successful writer/director/actor and known union activist Ben Affleck knows what he is talking about in most instances.”

Another theorized: “Most people's impression of Ben Affleck comes from the character he played in Good Will Hunting. So for the past however many decades they've gone around thinking he's some oaf and Matt Damon is the smart one.”

While one more joked: “Every press tour he does we’re reminded of how smart and insightful Ben Affleck is and then his personal dramas overshadow these little impressive moments and we forget again until the next press tour.”
