In reply to the discussion: Would you pay to watch an AI-generated film with only AI replicas of real actors? [View all]Jedi Guy
(3,271 posts)Video games have been going down this path for ages. In some cases, they use mocap of real people. Sometimes that person provides the voice, sometimes not. In other cases, the artists create a character from scratch and then a voice actor reads the lines. Within the next 5-10 years, odds are voice actors will no longer be needed and AI will do all the voice work, as well.
I don't see any appreciable difference with regard to movies and TV. The next generation of "movie stars" will very likely not be based on real people but be entirely artificial. The movie studios won't have to pay them $20+ million per film, they'll simply have to pay to create and maintain the AI. Each studio will have a "stable" of AI performers appearing in their films, and will be able to crank out far more content as a result.
Hollywood is going to look very different over the next 10-20 years, I imagine.
