I saw that, very interesting.
I’m ok with it, a good movie is a good movie.
Will AI eventually replace the talking heads on the evening news?
Will this eventually bring down the cost of a movie ticket?
It’s almost like the evolution of animation or a higher quality version of cartoons.

Look up the movie Simone (2002) with Al Pacino, it’s about this exact thing.

AI "actors" will undoubtedly save the studios billions of dollars given how much flesh-and-blood actors make. Furthermore, because so many action scenes are now computer generated, production expenses have already been significantly lowered. It doesn't matter that these AI "actors" aren't real people as long as they can build a fan base.
Consider the virtual realm of pornography. It has a huge fan base. It's a lot easier to have a good time with a virtual "date" than it is to make an effort to meet someone in reality. All that matters is that he or she appears and sounds real.

As soon as AI began to become popular, I told my wife “lookout Hollywood.” With AI, the Producers won’t have to pay a star $10,000,000 to make a picture.
If you have ever seen the movie “Call of the Wild” with Harrison Ford, you would have seen AI in that movie, including the big dog, Buck.

I think this is bigger than just swapping out actors for algorithms. It requires an entirely different kind of creative ecosystem. While traditional actors rely on makeup artists, costume designers, and directors, AI actors demand skilled professionals to bring lifelike appearance to AI models and to train them in movements, expressions, speech, and even to adopt a personality. In addition, they need legal teams to navigate rights, usage, and even content to avoid lawsuits.
There will be loss of work in some acting professions, but other jobs are now created behind the scenes that never existed before. It seems every aspect of life continues to evolve, and when it does, things get shaken up. Talkies replaced silent films, technicolor replaced black and white, etc.... I remember when digital music began to replace analogue, and VCR's gave way to DVD's, and cassette tapes surrendered to CD's, and streaming is now replacing a lot of cable.
Now that AI is taking the stage, the industry and content will have to adapt. Perhaps actors and actresses will become coaches for the AI models, IDK. However, I do think something will be lost along the way. It always is. Even with silent films, or Film Noir, there was something about them that set them apart and made them special.
I think actors and actresses draw on a lifetime of experience that can encompass a wide range of emotion. Even if AI actors can seem lifelike, I'm not convinced that some of the humanity that is etched in the souls that have had their reign in films won't be lost in transition. It may be simply irreplaceable. Actors are more than just images on a screen. They are real people shaped by life, loves, tragedies, fears, hopes, etc...., and when they bring all that to the screen, you can relate if you've ever lived life.
IMO, AI has some big shoes to fill.

I'm getting tired of it by now. I'm going back to older movies and tv. If I watch newer movies I look for movies with real special effects and hardly no CGI. I even stopped looking at short youtube clips with AI audio narration and stick with humans and older movies and tv series there.
