Is this supposed to include historical stage actors William Shakespeare (who was also well known as a poet and playwright)? He has certainly been portrayed in movies by plenty of human actors, so why not by AI? I'd think it should be covered by the usual likeness laws. If this new law is limited specifically to movie actors, it sounds like more Hollywood protectionism.

- JumpCrisscross 2y agoPortrayal is artistic depiction. It’s plainly fiction. Paintings are the canonical portrait. Replication seeks to blur the line between fiction and non-fiction. We treat photos taken without permission differently from paintings because of that closeness to reality. Granted, part of the relevant debate is where is the line between these endeavours. But we clearly recognise it, even if it’s increasingly a social construct. (Note the severely emotional reaction some in this thread are having to your proposal. Likeness is a deeply personal element that realistic non-fictional depiction, versus artistic overtly fictional depiction, triggers.)
