Benzinga - Each week, Benzinga Buzz compiles the latest entertainment news into a cohesive column for your consideration. Read on for the latest updates — both useful and irreverent.

  • Dude, Where's My ChatGPT? Right here, says Ashton Kutcher. And, according to the "That '70s Show" star, if you're ignoring artificial intelligence, "you're probably going to be out of business." Well, I asked ChatGPT to rank the best Ashton Kutcher movies, and the 2003 classic "Just Married" didn't even make the top five, so... how smart is this AI technology really?
  • Strike? What Strike? Entertainment stocks to watch: Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX), Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS), Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ: WBD) and Paramount Global (NASDAQ: PARA) — each one closed in the green on Friday. Afterward, Hollywood brass convened for happy hour and collectively thought, "There's a lot more room at this bar with no writers!"
  • Dear, AI. We asked ChatGPT if it had any advice for the writers striking in Hollywood. Click here to find out what the robot said. Pssst! Writers, ChatGPT low-key wants to steal your job on that show with the attractive people and the plot twist we all saw coming.
  • Click below for Matt Wolfe's tutorial on how to make a movie using only AI technology:

  • Too Zucking Expensive. According to a Benzinga survey, most people are not interested in owning a virtual reality (VR) headset. And yet, Cambridge Analytica's BFF Mark Zuckerberg thinks $999 is a fair price for a Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) VR contraption. Tim Cook is asking $3,000 for an Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) VR thingamajig. What's billionaire Mukesh Ambani, India’s richest man, charging? A whopping $16! I still think that's too much.
  • Marsraker. Speaking of disingenuous billionaires, Elon Musk spent one million dollars on a classic car that Roger Moore drove in a 007 movie. Hat tip to Dallas Observer for pointing out the eerie similarities between Musk and Bond villain Hugo Drax, a billionaire industrialist who is keen on space travel and repopulating the human race.
