Actors say Hollywood studios want their AI replicas — for free, forever - eviltoast

“This ‘groundbreaking’ AI proposal that they gave us yesterday, they proposed that our background performers should be able to be scanned, get one day’s pay, and their companies should own that scan, their image, their likeness and should be able to use it for the rest of eternity on any project they want, with no consent and no compensation. So if you think that’s a groundbreaking proposal, I suggest you think again.”

    Do you know why Star wars, Indiana Jones, The breakfast Club ect, are fantastic. The acting. We humans can only be tricked for so long witha a placebo. These films I mentioned, you can tell the hard work that went into them, the love and detail. Also taking someone’s life right sounds like digital slavery.

      Isn’t Star Wars the franchise that really kick started the trend of bringing dead/younger versions of actors back as CGI replicas?

      The quote is about background performers. Nobody notices their acting and they usually aren’t even professional actors.

        People don’t notice or remember things that look natural. Those background actors will absolutely stick out like sore thumbs when they’re not backed by real performances.
