SAG-AFTRA said that AMPTP’s AI plan included scanning background actors and using their likenesses “for the rest of eternity.”
Wow - complete and utter insanity. I think I read an article on an art contest prize awarded to an AI-generated piece.
The ONLY upsides to this are:
-
No more long waits for a new record to drop from your favorite “artist” - Taylor Swift still relevant in 50 years…etc, etc.
-
Less revenue for TicketMaster because who tf is going to an AI concert?
I’ve seen videos of packed crouds at Hatsune Miku concerts and that is a computer generated voice with a 3d projection on stage.
I remain confused by the Vocoloid sensation. I’m also really amazed by that video - how TF did they project like that in a way that looks good on stage. My goodness. This is one of those “We’re in the future now” moments. Though I really can’t see wanting to go to a concert that’s entirely virtual - I’m waiting to have it in my house like movies I guess.
This just seems so much like tamagotchis - like … it’s not real. Maybe I need to see one singing in English.
