In film and video games, we’ve already seen what’s possible with ‘digital humans’. Are we on the brink of the world’s first totally virtual acting star?

When you’re watching a modern blockbuster such as The Avengers, it’s hard to escape the feeling that what you’re seeing is almost entirely computer-generated imagery, from the effects to the sets to fantastical creatures. But if there’s one thing you can rely on to be 100% real, it’s the actors. We might have virtual pop stars like Hatsune Miku, but there has never been a world-famous virtual film star.

Virtual Princess Leia did not have one microgram of the sparkle thst made Princess Leia special.

Seeing as many of them are already deepfakes by definition, only if they are dead. The only reason to spend money on this technique is to raise the dead, and even then (as in the Carrie Fisher pic) we’re barely scraping it out of the uncanny valley.

Preventing people from earning honest daily income is the biggest business on the planet. Paying folks to beat and kill those who don't work for your employer is scientific.

The day when reality stars are replaced by virtual actors is the day the world has gone mad!!! But the way we idolize these types of people when in many cases they're not the type of people you'd ever want to know goes to show how fickle and stupid people are.

No.

I hope so.

Only if they embarrass themselves.

I thought deepfakes were that AI thing not just any computer imagery of actors.

I hope within reasons

Penis

Don’t care. I only watch the movies. I don’t get paid millions to do so, I need to lay. Long as I enjoy it I don’t care if someone isn’t getting paid millions for it

But... but ... who will instruct us on polical matters
