While discussing her upcoming film, an adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Klara and the Sun, directed by Taika Waititi in which she portrays the titular robot, Ortega stated that her experience with artificial intelligence has been "terrifying."
Jenna Ortega revealed she hates AI and deleted her "Twitter account".
"I hate AI," she said. "I mean, here's the thing: AI could be used for incredible things. I think I saw something the other day where they were saying that artificial intelligence was able to detect breast cancer four years before it progressed. That's beautiful. Let's keep it to that. Did I like being 14 and making a Twitter account because I was supposed to and seeing dirty edited content of me as a child? No. It's terrifying. It's corrupt. It's wrong."
The Emmy-nominated actor continued, "I used to have that Twitter account and I was told that, 'Oh, you got to do it, you got to build your image.' I ended up deleting it about two, three years ago because the influx after the show had come out -- these absurd images and photos, and I already in a confused state that I just deleted it."
She added, "It was disgusting, and it made me feel bad. It made me feel uncomfortable. Anyway, that's why I deleted it, because I couldn't say anything without seeing something like that. So one day I just woke up, and I thought, 'Oh, I don't need this anymore.' So I dropped it," reported Deadline.
