This was all foreseen by the movie S1M0NE. Interesting movie, but not one of Pacino’s better efforts, and ran about half an hour too long.
If she is silent on politics isn’t that a big improvement?
Will AI actors tell us what we should believe politically and what they think about global warming? Golly, whatever would I do without Rosie Odonnel telling me I’m racist.
Conceptually, I have no problem with a human looking digital image. After all, Bill Bixby was in My Favorite Martian as a regular human, then he was The Hulk. Bill Bixby as The Hulk is no more repulsive than the AI “girl” in the article. I wouldn’t believe either of them to be real.

Good points all...I agree.
good point
i hope to get an autograph and hopefully a selfie
or not
🤣
> Conceptually, I have no problem with a human looking digital image. <
Agreed. I’d only ask for a bit of transparency. If it’s AI, say it’s AI.
There are a ton of historical videos on Facebook of historical events that never happened. They are all AI-generated, and look very convincing.
Lots of misleading misinformation going on there.
Bixby turned into the Hulk who was played by Lou Ferrigno.
It’s a bad deal for actors, but who likes them anyway?
I believe so, yes.
Exactly.
AI will destroy all of humanity, and it cannot be stopped….
Any bets on how long?
25 years, 50 years, 100 at the outside…..
Amazing!
Hollywood is dead! A lot of actors are going to be looking for barista jobs.
Try having a discussion about that with an AI system. I had a long “discussion” with Grok about that topic a few days ago. A lot of the conversation was about the reduced need for humans to produce everything people could want. How will people live when they don’t have fulfilling work? How much money or wealth could each person have if AI and robots produce everything for us? Can the earth produce enough energy to power Artificial Generalized Intelligence (short answer “no”).
Can’t wait for the big AI comebacks of Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney, taking on gang bangers in the ’hood . . .
I recently saw a couple of videos with an infant old enough to sit up but not walk interacting with some cute puppies. He would point and they would lie down or roll over or turn up their noses and howl, and so forth. Then I saw 3 or 4 more similar videos - clearly AI - and my assessment went from “How adorable!” to zero interest.
Fake is fake. As was Ahnold in one of the more recent Terminator movies.
Ai actresses won’t keep opening their mouths ripping the company they work for, and fans, and tank their own projects.
I think it will become a real solution.
“It’s a bad deal for actors, but who likes them anyway?”
Just technology advancing the workforce. No different than robotics in assembly, or self-driving trucks.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving industry, filled with self-important, smug, holier than thou, narcissistic, a-holes.
Wonder who will hand Tilly the Oscar?
