    He is unfortunately correct, if the AI generated actors are convincing enough then majority of people will not care. Just like it is with CGI, people complain about CGI in movies but as examples they can only list movies with very poor CGI because our brain ignores good CGI.

      maybe - maybe if they could make it good enough. But right now they’re struggling to

      • make two actors appear in the same scene, while keeping the same clothes and characteristics
      • say the line that’s given to them without changing it
      • add any emotion whatsoever
      • speak or act in any negative way
      • portray crimes
      • keep the same voice
      • not move their mouths in unison when someone else is speaking
      • make any kind of unusual movement
      • keep objects from disappearing
      • not make objects they’re talking about appear in the scene
      • change volume
      • use the correct eyeline (look at the right person, not look down the barrel of the camera
      • not phase through solid objects

      and that’s before you even get into things like subtext, irony, sarcasm, equivocation, stylistic choices, accents…

      Good thing they won’t be convincing enough. The preview for every AI actor I’ve seen has been laughably bad. Mostly because AI has trained itself off of decades of mediocre people using social media to “act” for ad placements while forcing a fake charismatic demeanor on everything else for community building. AI actors have the depth of a porn star convincing you their work is enjoyed more than their paycheck. Except AI performs that way for every basic human emotion.

      AI isn’t even intelligent my dude. All forms of it just predict what best fills in a blank, and the sum total of every bad actor on social media is the largest pool it has to pull from. Expecting good or meaningful performances from AI actors is hilariously misguided. At best we’ll get perfect looking humans with flawless facial symmetry that have the emotional depth and inflection of text emojis.

      That can’t carry a 2 hour film, let alone any content that requires emotional complexity. At best we’ll get movies that are just 2 hour reaction videos in what AI thinks humans do in certain situations. Baby born = happy face. Baby died = sad face. Is about the depth you can expect from these actors.

          Love how Tony Starks voice comes out of Doctor Dooms mouth.

          You think Robert Downey Jr. Is just gonna talk through his role as Doom like he did here?

          I’m pretty sure he’ll do some acting instead.

          So counter-counterpoint. Doom should sound like Doom. Not like a copy and pasted RDJ from Iron Man 1.

          The fact he just talks normally kinda proves my point about AI sucking ass.

          Here’s that character in the comics. His voice is lettered in a distinct way that the comics even reference and make fun of.

          Something that AI couldn’t reference for accuracy so didn’t, and the result is fucking hilarious 😂 if that trailer was real, Marvel would be made fun of even more than it is now.

          Also, people exploding into green mist is Power Rangers 2000 level of SFX bad. Not impressed at all by the powers Doom is supposed to have in this trailer if his biggest threat is turning you into a fart cloud.
