Would this fly in the U.S. with the actor union?
- artninja1988 3y agoHow would the actor union be able to forbid a random tea brand to use an ai spokesperson?
- anigbrowl 3y agoThe actors' complaint is tht studios want to scan their real-person appearance once but license it to be animated in perpetuity.

- Yeul 3y agoSilly actors. Companies will just grab some college girl from a campus, give her a few Starbucks coupons and presto an AI celebrity is born. The whole point of the technology is that you don't need a classically trained actor.
- ugh123 3y ago> The whole point of the technology is that you don't need a classically trained actor. I consider it the other way: the hope for ai tech in film is that we don't need to find the "best looking" actors/actresses available. Instead, you could find the best actor available regardless of what they look like, make your film, and _then_ overlay a generated face/body.

- anigbrowl 3y agoThis will work great for movies whose cast is made up entirely of college-age girls. If it was that simple you have to ask why they want actors in the first place.
- creer 3y agoIsn't the main reason to use experienced, reliable actors that there is a budget and schedule to make and you need people who can reliably deliver? 2nd reason being to use their names to promote the movie? For reliability, it will be hard to beat AIs: they don't die or get hangovers and you can dial their age and mood back and forth.
