He’s right!! CGI is almost at the point where you could do movies with actors\actresses from Tom Mix, Mary Pickford to Ashton Kutcher and all entertainment egomaniacs in between. Computer generated actors\actresses don’t complain, don’t do drugs\alcohol, make ridiculous demands, get pregnant, get others pregnant, etc. Pure $$ gravy for producers\directors. Goes the same for writers too. The proverbial gaggle of monkeys at a gaggle of typewriters could write better movie scripts then what are written now. I know AI could do better!
Now if we can get AI and CGI to replace political “talking heads”!
It’s not going to be long. Why bother with all the expense dealing with real people, real sets, camera crews, etc. etc.?
At best, maybe you capture the likeness of an actor in 3D using photogrammetry and that’s all you need from them.
Ultimately, fake actors can just be conjured up for whatever roles are needed; fat, thin, tall, short, etc.
