'Frasier' star Kelsey Grammer voices growing alarm over AI manipulation
While artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a bigger role than ever in Hollywood, award-winning actor Kelsey Grammer is warning it may be "dangerous." The "Karen: A Brother Remembers" author opened up about his growing concern over AI deepfakes and the potential blurred lines between reality and manipulation. "What I'm a little sad about is our prevalence these days to come up with so many, as they try to say deepfakes," he told Fox News Digital. "You know, the ones who say it usually are the ones who are actually doing it. It's a very, very strange game out there." AI-generated images, known as "deepfakes," often involve editing videos or photos of people to make them look like someone else by using artificial intelligence. While the "Frasier" star has acknowledged AI to be beneficial in some capacity, including in the medical field, Grammer shared his reservations about how the system can potentially fabricate someone's identity in seconds.

"Especially in medicine and a number of other things." "I recognize the validity and the potential in AI, especially in medicine and a number of other things." Grammer warned, "But AI still is... I mean, I know they're working on AGI now, which is probably a different animal, the one that maybe we should be more alarmed about." AGI stands for artificial general intelligence - a hypothetical stage in the development of machine learning in which an AI system can match or exceed the cognitive abilities of human beings across any task, according to IBM.

"AI is never any better than the people who programmed it," he added. "But of course, now, it's self-teaching, and maybe it will actually find a way to enhance its abilities beyond what the human input's been." As the Hollywood actor has spent most of his illustrious career delivering scripted lines with human depth, Grammer told Fox News Digital he does not believe AI can replicate that genuineness. "I'm still fairly confident that it will never reflect the same spontaneity that is the human being. And so watching a human being — the real human being — will always be more interesting," Grammer said. "We have to return to a sense of integrity and basically good manners." Grammer recently released the memoir, "Karen: A Brother Remembers." The book is available everywhere books are sold.

Frasier vet Kelsey Grammer, 70, reveals his mother's GHOST has visited him
Kelsey Grammer believes he received some help from the other side of the veil in calming an argument with his wife. The actor, 70, who was promoting his new book, Karen: A Brother Remembers, which revisits her grisly murder and its aftermath, on The Jamie Kern Lima Show on Thursday, revealed what happened. The Frasier star and bride Kayte Walsh, with whom he tied the knot in 2011, were living in his late mother's house at the time when they got into 'a bit of a tussle.' Before going to bed, the couple heard a loud noise. 'We had a great moment when Kayte and I were having a fight when we were in our early [days], our first year together basically,' he began. 'We climbed into bed kind of mad with each other, and I heard this huge bang in the living room and said, "What the heck?"' The Cheers star said, 'I reached out the bed, and I grabbed a golf club that I kept there for that reason.' After a brief chat about who should go and look into the noise, Grammer said he got up and went into the living room. The TV was on, which the Paper Empire actor thought was 'weird,' because he knew he had switched it off before going to bed. 'I looked around a little bit, turned it off, and thought, "Thanks mom." You know? "Don't go to bed angry with each other."' When he returned to the bedroom, he discovered Walsh had also had an interesting moment. 'What did your mom smell like?' she asked, revealing she 'had smelled flowers' while he was in the living room. 'It was really something, really something,' he said. 'I thought, "This is real, this is not something heretical going on."' The Emmy winner, who was raised as a Christian Scientist, has said he is religious, but does not adhere to any particular religion, admitted he doesn't care if people who hear about this story believe it or not. 'I don't try to convince people they should think the way I think or see God the way I see God or experience this universe the way I experience it, but I will not deny my faith,' he asserted. Walsh asked the actor what his 'What did your mom smell like?' she asked, revealing she 'had smelled flowers' while he was in the living room; Pictured in West Hollywood, CA in September 2002 The God Committee actor said it was a spiritual connection that compelled him to write the book about his sister. He was working with a psychic medium who helped him received the message. 'I got a very strange imperative saying: "Write this..." Well, it didn't say "write" actually, it just said: "Tell. Tell my story," from my sister, through Esther, somebody we were working with at the time. It's just turned into the book,' he explained. 'Esther's pretty gifted. I've known a few gifted people. I produced a show called Medium, and that was part of it,' he said. 'I was always kind of in that community a little bit. I found out, of course, everybody who's a medium actually wants a television show. So a lot of people contacted me for a while,' Grammer said of how he met the medium. 'You do find out that some are really gifted... But if you've got somebody who doesn't know you, who's accurate about your life 70% of the time, pulls names out of the air, you may as well pay attention, whatever your point [of view] is, or whatever jaundiced view you may have of the whole mediumship issue.'
