In 10 years AI will create all movies

[Gregzs]

So the writer's strike, going on two months, wants to stop all AI from helping to create anything.

Same with the actors union, who plan or may go on strike at the end of July.  One of their demands is 'no' AI in the movies.   The union realizes they will lose revenue if AI is in the picture, no more paying anyone for anything they have done at any time.  Residuals will go down quick

Soon Hollyweird will be able to put Sean Connery back into new Bond films and pay his estate a fee to do  so.  AI will do this.  Actors and actresses (the latter term  is rarely used now) will be out of work.  Everything will be digitized.

It is not what I would want but perhaps it will not come to pass. Except for Connery and Lois Maxwell and...Well you get it. I prefer Bond to be Bond not some fucking product of divershitty.

We'll have to wait and see how good it really gets. I have been playing with various AI technologies recently. One involves cloning of voices and then replacing a singer's voice with another. I've also dabbled in Deepfake and now AI Porn (lol!) generation. It seems promising, but the stuff is still very limited in scope and not user friendly. You need to be tech-oriented to get familiar with it.

A Robert de Niro / Taxi / Dear Hunter  type of performance will not be equaled by AI anytime soon. So if the actor is not lazy and has talent he/she should not worry about being out of work,

I can’t wait for the day these obnoxious, entitled, rich beyond belief actors get put in their place. They know the end of this gravy train is coming to an end. This is their last chance, large scale cash grab to try and make sure the checks will keep coming in.

Why would the studios use the actor's likeness when they can just create characters from scratch and not have to pay royalties?
