AI Fails to Portray Dakota as Monroe
Actress and director Maggie Gyllenhaal revealed her failed attempt to use artificial intelligence to transform Dakota Johnson into a Marilyn Monroe look-alike in her short film "Flesh Impact" during the Venice Film Festival 2026. She trained an AI technology on images and subtitles of Marilyn Monroe, but ultimately decided to delete the result because it removed the vitality and human impact from Dakota’s performance. She found that the actress’s genuine performance was more powerful than the technically generated version. She also warned about the negative environmental impacts of expanding AI use, and criticized the economic frameworks that promote the idea of drastically reducing film production costs. She considers that such trends could threaten the future of the film industry and diminish genuine talent opportunities.
