All of the AI talks within the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes has been really thought provoking and has generated a lot of opinions and questions in my mind. I don’t with some of the stances in this article that believe that AI could generate a whole script and have it be as good as a human writer, or generate an entire TV show or movie and have it look real. AI, atleast so far, has shown that it can’t generate emotion-provoking text that shows empathy or compassion and it can’t make realistic art yet. When AI is asked to generate a picture of a human, it usually messes up a lot of features that are more complex in the human body, such as hands, faces, and feet. On the other hand, I completely agree with what this articles has to say about background actors and digital scans of performers. When it comes to acting and being a celebrity, you face is kinda everything, so if a studio can just pay you a fraction of what they will earn from the scan and using a celebrity’s face whenever they want, then that is a huge problem.
