Is that what Newsom saw to drive him to make that kind of media illegal? I could see a dictator like him doing that.
Not just this, but really that the hollywood industry realizes that this would put them all out of business.
Therefore they got behind a strawman argument that “actors’ likenesses” which theoretically have star value etc. would be lost if genAI films were made as the potential harm for their lawsuits, and NewScum happily obeyed.
Personally I would be happier if “acting” was relegated to the niche of live performances. It’s a net negative to see the same people over and over IMO. Meanwhile an untapped well of creativity is blocked by the perv freaks that run the “entertainment industry.”
(and yes, it’s worth mentioning that other freaks exist that have abused genAI, e.g. people who generated nudies of their teen classmates; see https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/lancaster-county/two-teens-charged-ai-generated-images-lancaster-country-day-school-students/521-fc4f9ae6-8e01-46d0-81f1-ebe0bb579331).
