Reese Witherspoon’s AI Comment Backlash2:43 – 6:20

Bridget ToddHost

2:43

I gotta start with a little bit of heartbreak here, because Mike, I know you know this about me, I love me some Reese Witherspoon.

Bridget ToddHost

2:51

She's my girl.

Bridget ToddHost

2:52

I like her a lot.

We all love Reese Witherspoon.

2:55

She's just so nice.

Bridget ToddHost

2:58

You know how you...

Bridget ToddHost

2:59

I, I don't know if, if the white community is the same way, but I know the Black community is this way, where you might get, you might have, like, your handful of white actors and actresses and, like, singers and celebrities that you really like.

Bridget ToddHost

3:13

Reese is one of mine.

Bridget ToddHost

3:15

She, she's, she is...

Bridget ToddHost

3:17

I like her a lot.

Bridget ToddHost

3:17

And so it breaks my heart to have to start with a little bit of less than flattering Reese Witherspoon discourse.

Bridget ToddHost

3:27

Although, I don't know if I would call it less than flattering.

Bridget ToddHost

3:29

I'll just tell you what's going on, 'cause I'm sure you haven't seen it.

Bridget ToddHost

3:32

So Reese Witherspoon is taking some heat for a video that she posted on social media basically saying that she was in a book club, and that she asked the women of the book club, "How many of you ladies use AI?" And of the 10 women, only three of them said they use it.

Bridget ToddHost

3:49

And then of those three women, only one said that they felt confident using AI.

Bridget ToddHost

3:56

So Reese Witherspoon made a video and said, "Women are being left behind because we're not using AI." And she said that technology is the kind of thing that if you don't at least get a little bit familiar with it early on, it advances so quickly that you won't really have time to catch up.

Bridget ToddHost

What do you think the reaction to this video was online?

4:15

You know, I have to suspect it might not have been as positive as she was hoping.

AdvertiserAd

4:21

I feel that the sentiment that everyone should stop what they're doing and rededicate their lives to learning AI is not universally held.

Bridget ToddHost

4:33

Not universally held is definitely one way to put it.

Bridget ToddHost

4:36

People really did not have a good response to this video.

Bridget ToddHost

4:40

Some people were saying, "She's right.

Bridget ToddHost

4:42

This is great." This would not be the first time that she has made a statement like this around technology.

Bridget ToddHost

4:48

Back in 2021, Reese Witherspoon tweeted, quote, "Crypto is here to stay.

Bridget ToddHost

4:55

I'm committed to supporting creators who have pioneered the NFT space and encouraging more women to be part of the conversation." And she wasn't kidding around.
