100% agreed with everything he said, even if it's for a Hollywoke production.
The thing is, most people probably wouldn't even be able to tell most of the background extras aren't real.
I've always said modern movies in the last 20 years are pure bloated slop that feel fake. And by that, I mean go back and look at movies made during the 60s and 70s that were shot on location (or went guerrilla to save budget). Those films -- regardless of the quality of the story -- feel authentic.
The on-location filming -- even with the ADR -- still made films seem larger than life, realistic, populated, and grounded.
These days you can always see where the streets are blocked off in the back to limit traffic, or how they only film wide outdoor shots in the city at a distance using drones or helicopters so they don't have to pay for on-location permits.
The whole Hollywood union racket really killed the filming process; all of the red tape with permits and taxes also funneled films into a very stringent and financially bloated process where everything feels like tinsel.
I, for one, am looking forward to what comes out of the AI filming revolution. It honestly can't be any worse than the over-budgeted, overtly-woke corpo-slop we've been getting for nearly three decades.

It will be several times worse. There is nothing stopping them from churning out even more woke corpo-slop.
