They are representing the worker would would have done that gig sans AI.
They are trying to protect the interests of their members, which is their primary purpose. Whether that is the rent seeking or not is not really relevant to them.
I doubt the AI companies can just pay union dues like an actor. The SAG would be more interested in long term strength of their profession (and thus the Union itself) rather than some pennies on Union dues by some companies.

So they are representing people who don’t work for these companies and have to bargain with the union to replace them with the robots. I’m sure that will turn out well. Be like every car sold would need to come with a buggy whip because the whipmakers union is strong enough to force the issue.
