CGI is within three years of being able to create completely realistic “people.” That will be the end of TV and movie actors and reporters.

Bullhockey. I heard this same claim made circa 1995, that in the year 2000, CGI technology would have advanced to the point that actors could be replaced. It wasn't true then. It's not true now. We've made huge strides but the technology is nowhere near that threshold.

Have you seen the latest video games? Yeah, they're THAT close.
