The movie industry is already endlessly pumping out crap with real actors, I suppose it won't get much worse if it removes them entirely.
On the other hand, there's a whole other medium for actors that AI can't replace.
- walterbell 2y agoIn addition to the experiential gap between theatre and film, we have productions which translate from one to the other. Each is a distinct market. A subset of the Chinese TV version of "Three-Body Problem" consists of video gameplay "footage". The lack of human actors is compensated by over the top footage of cataclysms, which could never be filmed. It's mostly additive to the storyline with human actors. AI can create new media markets with different cost structures. These will necessarily subtract some attention-minutes from existing film audiences. But it should also lower production costs for artistic filmmakers focused on portrayal of human actors for human audiences.
