I told you a couple of days ago that Gwyneth Paltrow was hosting a celebrity dinner in the Hamptons for Open AI/Chat GPT creator Sam Altman.

The invite for August 29th leaked out, and immediately Gwyneth was denounced for supporting AI at a time when original content creators are suffering at its hands.

Paltrow thought she’d fight back by posting send ups of her own invite, making the honoree either “Sex and the City” character Samantha Jones, or Shrek. See below.

This only made things worse. Paltrow has now called attention to this regrettable decision. Granted, her Oscar is almost 30 years old and Paltrow doesn’t do much acting anymore. She’s basically the president of Goop. But Hollywood, music, theater, publishing are all under attack from AI. She did not take the side of human artists. Imagine if her beloved parents — Blythe Danner and the late Bruce Paltrow — had their work stolen or desecrated by AI.
