I think you're a making a lot of cope to defend casual misogyny instead of just calling it out.
"nono, you don't understand, Cranston did tv first, totally different". They're both actors, and actors frequently alternate between movies and shows all the time. For various different reasons.
OP wasn't attacking her views on AI, he was attacking her, as an actor. Using language that wouldn't be used on similarly aged male actors (don't like my examples, there's hundreds others to use... DeCaprio? McKellen, Nicholson?). Language, mind you, that dogwhistles and normalizes popular misogynistic takes on women with long careers (especially if they started young).
If that seems acceptable to you but you earnestly believe Hollywood misogyny is a problem, you might want to do some self-reflecting on those two statements. Think about what it means to normalize attitudes and the words used to describe actors and how/when they're applied.
