I take a modicum of comfort in the fact that no one will want to watch “half this actor and half this one with a dash of this one thrown in” because that’s weird and not enticing. After the initial novelty, I imagine those films will struggle.
Hollywood spent a very fucking long time cashing in on celebrity and name recognition and the lives and loves of these beautiful people, building them up to tear them down…they won’t suddenly build a new and flourishing market of not real people but cheap store brand knockoffs of the ones they’ve convinced us we give a shit about. That just won’t work.
What are humans and their personalities other than just a mix of other people (genetics) and some random stuff thrown in? The ai generated humans and real humans are not different. It's just that the ai generated humans wouldn't exist physically in the real world. But that doesn't matter though, movies are all about selling the illusion of the world they represent, you don't need real stuff to represent fictional worlds. Take books for example, books don't have actors and they sell pretty damn well, we still immerse ourselves into those worlds and see each character as a separate entity.
Wow. I…
They’re human. Individual. AI generated humans and real humans are different. Very different. I don’t know how we could ever come to any sort reconcilable middle ground if we can’t agree on that much.
Your argument was that nobody would be interested in the mix of looks and personalities of multiple humans and I pointed out that it's the same for real humans an ai generated that we are just "randomly generated". I watch things for the illusion and not the actors that are trying to sell that illusion. I'm not saying that ai generated videos of humans will be humans, absolutely not. I'm only talking about the illusion on the screen. Maybe we are arguing about completely differnet things idk.
