“The AI revolution has begun, and I need to learn as much as I possibly can about AI and share it with all of you,” her Instagram caption read.

However, some followers criticized the actress' remarks.

Addressing the critiques in her Instagram Stories on Monday, Reese penned, “Well, I guess my Al post got people talking. To be clear, no one is paying me to talk about this. I'm just a curious human.”

The mother-of-three remarked that her kids “are learning about AI tools.”

“I know a lot of founders who are vibe coding, and I hear about people using Al in EVERY sector of business,” wrote the Big Little Lies actress.

Reese continued that she's "aware of the impact this could have on jobs across so many industries. I understand environmental concerns. I care deeply about local communities. And I have concerns about impending AGI [Artificial General Intelligence]."

“I don't believe computers should replace humanity,” she added, advising her fans to learn “as much as possible about this technological revolution.”
