You hire Tom Hanks because he’s a genuinely warm and considerate person, and that allows him to embody people like Mr. Rogers with sincerity. I’m not sure you will be able to do the same with just computers: there have been many efforts to create digital characters, but always with a talented actor to voice and incarnate them: Smaug by Benedict Cumberbatch and too many to list by Andy Serkis. I can’t think that it’s an accident people pick talented actors to do so—and I doubt AI will be able to reproduce that talent well soon. Crowd simulation (what a lot of the actual debate with SAG is about)? Definitely.
