I wouldn't be comfortable watching a movie scene if I knew I was looking at computer-generated faces and voices.

  Are you comfortable with Auto-Tune in music, not the t-pain / etc exaggerated style... the nearly universal application of Auto-Tune to recording and live performance to ensure a "consistent product", and "save on expensive studio time"? Because the market appears to have spoken on that one and it said "meh, I don't care" with an solid shrug of indifference. By the same logic, one can see artificially produced vocal performance combined with artificial overlaying of photorealistic 3d reproduction as a way to cost effectively maximise the performer and crew expenses, and ensure the consistency of a performance. The results may even be better than what they could have done with the real performer in the case of some attractive actors who are not very good at the acting part of being an actor/modern celebrity. That said, I'll definitely miss the days people had to actually be able to act, but then again I also miss the days people used to actually be able to play an instrument well and or sing well if they wanted to be a famous musician.

  Did you feel that way when seeing Grand Moff Tarkin on "Rogue One"? https://www.wired.com/video/2017/02/how-rogue-one-recreated-grand-moff-tarkin/ https://www.wired.com/video/2017/02/how-rogue-one-recreated-...

    Yes? I missed literally all his dialogue because he was so poorly animated I couldn't take my mind off it. So out of place and jarring.

    Yep, fell right into the uncanny valley.
