Combine this with that other group that machine learned to generate fake celebrities.
Soon we'll be able to make 100% convincing movies without any real celebrities whatsoever. Imagine a world of no celebrities. No TMZ. No gossip columns. No infotainmant on the news. No faux outrage scandals.
sniff its beautiful isn't it.
- karma_fountain 9y agoWe would just worship the fakes instead.
- danharaj 9y agoHatsune Miku
- cryptoz 9y agoS1mOne (sp?) is a movie about that. But there will always be TMZ and gossip, they don't rely on celebrities to exist they rely on juicy stories involving anyone.
- krapp 9y ago>Imagine a world of no celebrities. No TMZ. No gossip columns. No infotainmant on the news. No faux outrage scandals. You'd still have all of those things, because those are all part of the business that drives entertainment. The entire scandal complex would just be automated and generated by AI along with the rest of consumer culture, but it won't go away. Why would it, when there's so much money to be made? There will be probably be more of it, not less, because once you have perfectly convincing virtual celebrities, you can include perfectly convincing virtual dead celebrities as well, and fictional characters within their respective fictional worlds.
- Udik 9y agoThat reminds me of a definition I gave once of one of those tv series full of mysteries and supernatural events that should all be explained by some underlying reality that, alas, never existed even in the minds of the authors. "Like a gossip magazine about non-existent people" It seems that people would actually buy and read them avidly.
- booleandilemma 9y agoSo like fantasy football for celebrity gossip?
- robterrell 9y agoMost likely, celebrities will hire nobodies to be body doubles for them, to do the hard work of actually making movies / tv shows, and then the AIs will fill in their faces later.

- xbmcuser 9y agoIt would be interesting movies and TV shows would be viewer customisable. I would love to see an ai that can read a novel and create a movie out of it.
- Shivetya 9y agolooking forward to a demo of this tech where all actors, male and female, are replaced with a single select actor. the technology can only get better, the question is will disclaimers become part of every video or just the assumption of what you see is always fake?
- Pxtl 9y agoBonus points if it's John Malkovich
- michaelbuckbee 9y agoI agree and think a real driving force for this will be internationalization. Shoot the movie and then swap the actors for Chinese audiences, etc.
- rev_null 9y agoThis is a major plot element of the 2013 film "The Congress". I highly recommend it.
- keyme 9y agoIIRC the movie The Congress (2013) is about this (before it transitions into a full on acid trip)
- jamesrcole 9y ago> Soon we'll be able to make 100% convincing movies without any real celebrities whatsoever. Being able to mimic particular people is quite different to being able to: - make the AI act in a compelling way in a new movie (e.g. getting the emotion and delivery right for a particular scene) - create a compelling actor from scratch.
- kgwgk 9y agoMovies without celebrities have been made for quite some time already.
- jamesrcole 9y agoThe person I was replying to was clearly taking about the case of replacing them with AI-created actors.
- kgwgk 9y agoSorry, I replied at the wrong point in the thread. I should have replied to him.
- IIAOPSW 9y agoMy point was that we already have bullet point 2. https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/30/16569402/ai-generate-fake-faces-celebs-nvidia-gan https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/30/16569402/ai-generate-fak... Bullet point 1 probably isn't too far off.
- jamesrcole 9y agoNo we don't! Not even close. That article is about creating fake faces. That's all. Being able to create a virtual actor that can somehow generate a compelling performance from a script, or which can even be programmed to create a compelling performance, is orders of magnitude more difficult, and far beyond anything we can currently do.
- didibus 9y agoI think this is from the same group.
