According to the actress, Steven Spielberg presented her with two options while preparing for an important scene involving extraterrestrial communication.

“When we were leading up to shooting the scene, Steven was like ‘We could do it one of two ways. We could go and do it with AI or you could do it yourself,’” Blunt then confidently volunteered to create the sounds herself rather than rely on artificial intelligence technology.

“And I was like, I feel very confident that I can make some very strange sounds. So I went to a sound booth with him and his incredible sound designer who's won more Oscars than anyone in the world. That was my first day working with Steven Spielberg,” she said at Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

The story immediately caught the attention of fans online, especially because it showcased Steven Spielberg’s preference for practical creativity and human performance instead of depending entirely on AI-generated effects.
