Scorcese understands that Hollywood's ultimate limiting factor is the number of available actors. A finite pool of actors means a finite pool of movies. Removing this limitation means that, just like an AI image generator can generate any image imaginable, a future movie generator will be able to generate every movie imaginable, at the click of a button.

For example, we could tap the federal Strategic Actor Reserve, or import actors from actor-rich countries such as France and Belgium.

Instead of using AI actors, couldn't we address Hollywood's actor shortage some other way? For example, we could tap the federal Strategic Actor Reserve, or import actors from actor-rich countries such as France and Belgium.
I've noticed a tendency among people who have built careers known for visionary, forward-thinking work that they hesitate to make the natural move into more "conservative" positions/approaches as they age. This leads to missteps, because as one ages, one inevitably becomes further removed from the zeitgeist. On paper, embracing AI might seem like a great idea if you don't want to become an old fogey, but not all chan…
Presumably he has the experience to evaluate if this is likely to actually help or not. Or at least if it is worth exploring.
It is rather unclear why you believe he is likely wrong, aside from conjuring up rather ageist speculations about his motives.
A.I. like in generating crowds, simulating physics, improving effects... or Large Language Models and Image Generation? AI means a lot of different things, I wish I could read the article.
