The big stars have estates which would have to approve such AI shenanigans. If this really took off and became a thing it would just underscore how creatively bankrupt big entertainment is.

Yeah, whoever owns Bogart’s likeness could actually make decent money selling it to Hollywood for use. Not only that there could be a whole new generation of movies that use dead actors likesess, as caharacters from the past, but again all this could be subject to copywrite considerations and who owns the estate.

” . .would just underscore how creatively bankrupt big entertainment is”

That bird has flown and is already made clear, look at Disney doing self loathing rehashes of their classic works with garbage woke narcissistic productions. What’s a few hundred million down the drain each time. Or look at Dr Who today, sad times.

It’s so bad, that I also have to wonder if this is merely the Communist Marxist playbook running today on autopilot to denigrate and destroy free Western art playing out in front of us all, versus them really just being this horribly untalented?
