Jgl is an actor. A very successful one. A very good one even. I would imagine that he has a lot of expertise on the shbject of acting, but his opinion on other things, whether theyre correct or nof, shoukd be considered with this in mind.
Doesnt mean hes wrong, and it doesnt mean hes right - the merits of an argument are that argument’s merits.

He is the founder of the creators coalition. which wants to be the industry’s voice at the table, calling for fair compensation, job protections and deepfake guardrails. The coalition’s signatories are a who’s who of Hollywood, with supporters including Natalie Portman, Kristen Stewart, Ben Affleck and Octavia Spencer.
Ben Affleck is also an actor. A very successful one and he owned an ai company.

Cool.
Again though: him being an actor doesnt make him right and it doesnt make him wrong. An arguments merits are in the argument.
If he was an expert on the topic it would be reasonabke to give his arguments more weight because of that - he is not though.
To be clear: his arguments shiuld be judged on their own merits, not weighted one way or the other because of his profession.
