Everything on screen is a visual illusion anyway (including, famously, the sense of motion), so some sprinkling of AI fakeness seems fairly well placed here. Whether it will have fundamental impact on how movies are made (either the economics side of it or the cultural output) remains to be seen though. The obvious case might be some new tricks on the visual effects side but people have been very creative in this space (with very modest technical means) for a very long time. The human brain is very good at getting the cues and playing along with the creator's intention / filling the blanks.
