Will AI character such as Tilly Norwood replaces TV shows and movies to AI only and replaces all human actors?

so we have a lot of actors / actresses in this piece of news stabbing AI generated actress Tilly Norwood. Are these human actors afraid of totally being replaced? And what is to stop any independent film co. or large film co. to create TV shows or movies solely by AI actors?

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c99glvn5870o

Actors such as Robert Downey Jr. get $50M for playing Ironman. So this industry could end on human actors / actresses. It's a lot cheaper to do a movie in pure AI than paying actors such as Robert Downey Jr. $50M per movie.

I see ordinary people like us w/ the imagination of a good script, using software available in a few yr., creates an AI generated movie, upload to Tiktok or Youtube, and charge only $5 per download and make $

This would starts w/ action film, as people who watch action film are not in it for the academy class acting. Especially for sci-fiction movies like Star Wars, in which a good no. of actors are physically wearing a mask
 
I don't mean to pry, but do you have 6 fingers on your right hand?

AI isn't up to snuff just yet. But yes, eventually you can just prompt an AI to make a movie/series in a the near future, although actors will be the primary for atleast a couple more decades.
 
but they already made that video you saw in that youtube link. So why can't they make a AI character movie next year , as the way the IT industry is, it moves fast
 
Author Katherine Wela Bogen posted this on Threads last week, and I think she's 100% correct, this has the potential to lead to some truly horrible shit.

AI actresses can’t negotiate. They can’t say they’d prefer their bodies not be shown certain ways. They can’t refuse degrading scenes. They can’t express distress about disturbing content. They can’t ask the creators: why would you do that to me? Why put any woman through watching that?

If AI film winds up being the path, we’re about to see an entirely new generation (and more brutal depiction) of media misogyny.

They want to buy the likenesses of women so they can make those women obey their every “creative whim.” Let’s not have any illusions about where those “creative whims” are gonna take them.

Notice it’s a young, conventionally attractive, innocent-looking woman who is being purchased first.

As Rush used to say.. "Women and Minorities Hardest Hit"

She acts like Women will be the only ones "Harmed" Everything she said will happen to men. All will be Chris Hemsworth ripped to impossible body standards, 6ft+ etc. Etc.
Not just women will be demeaned.. All will. And not to meantion the truly sick people out there will do with it.
 
My expectation is that this will be socialized in video games first. There is already live action CGI animation, so this would bring up the realism a lot. This will get the younger generation used to these AI actors, and then you can start creating shows with them. And a generation brought up on them will transition smoothly to it while the old folks will complain. But then they'll die off anyway and won't matter.

It will be like that interview with Stephen King, where he talked about critics that wrote about him when he was in the twenties no longer being alive. It won't matter that people don't like the AI actors now since by time it becomes a reality a lot of them will have passed away.
 
The thing is, this is not a person. It's a puppet based on bits and pieces of real actors' performances, using complex algorithms to try and vomit up all those bits into something that passes for a performance. But there's no human spark behind it. There's no soul there. Even in the most banal Hallmark movie, even in Sharknado 16 or whatever they're up to, there are still human actors making decisions, applying their acting skills and creating something new and unique. And anyone who's OK with that world, where they'd rather see a computer program instead of a real actor, that's not a world I care to inhabit.

I guess in many ways they'd be a weird kind of animated movie! Although even in an animated movie you'd have a human voice acting. I think AI actors may have uses (very large crowd scenes etc) but beyond that the concept depresses me so much.

As a kid who grew up in the 70s and 80s this isn't the future I was promised! (although it's interesting to see how prescient some films and tv from the 60s and 70s has been.)

Stick AI in that environment and after two days it'll decide "screw this, the meatbags can keep this job."

And this is my biggest beef with AI. The fantasy was that the AI would do all the mundane crap, leaving us free to pursue hobbies, art, reading, writing, whatever. Instead, we're getting it to write for us, make images and videos for us, and we're still stuck with the drudge work.

Shades of Black Mirror's Hotel Reverie. We're already starting to see PC games with narrative use AI where players can interact with AI personals by having conversations with them with a microphone to try and complete objectives such as witness interrogations.

Wrong. As with VCRs, DVDs and fast Internet, the motive driving improvements is Pron.
