According to CoinMeta, Ben Affleck demonstrated his profound understanding of generative AI systems during a recent interview with GQ, discussing Python and convolutional neural networks. He mentioned that he has been interested in computers since childhood and noted that machine learning has been part of the visual effects workflow for many years. He also explained the concepts behind modern AI systems, using terms that may be unfamiliar to those not familiar with AI, such as transformers, tensors, and edge detection. Affleck's knowledge in this area has attracted attention on multiple occasions, and the AI film technology startup he founded in 2022 was sold to Netflix this year for approximately $587 million.
