Yup. I figure that they are pretty much there as far as visuals go. Skip the humans and just let the computers do it.
The next hurdle is the computer-generated voice. It can’t sound like a machine. It needs emotion and subtle tone changes. I’ve seen a lot of progress but I don’t think it’s good enough quite yet. Once they get it down though, a good technician will be able to wring out a lot of emotion from the artificial actor.
I think it will be 100% machine-made within 10 years.
And an artificial actor can make hundreds of movies over a career spanning many decades, if that’s what people want. No aging, no going to fat. Always just as good as ever.
just think...Won’t have to put up with Sean Penn, Robert DeNiro, etc.....
