How AI can make Hollywood actors look years younger

As actors continue to strike, one issue is the potential for studios to wipe out acting jobs with artificial intelligence. CNN shows how new AI technology allows film directors to make actors look younger than they actually are. Donie O'Sullivan reports. #CNN #News

It's funny. In "perfect world" scenarios, humans have technology that does the menial work, leaving us free to to create art and music. In today's world, we struggle to make ends meet while technology is slowly being used to create the art and music. Tell me this isn't backwards.

AI is a natural fit for the movie industry. There's no way the writers and the actors are going to be able to stop studios from using it.

They're making big money they don't need the actors anymore

[ivareskesner]

You notice that it's almost exclusively the struggling and new actors who are protesting. The big names who have the negotiating power to keep their likeness from being used without getting paid for it are sitting comfortably. As usual, shit runs downhill and the poor are the ones to end up shovelling it.

Problem with the strike is movies/tv haven’t been good in awhile, you have your occasional Breaking Bad or The Dark Knight but most of the stuff they’re putting out is bad

The last sentence is important. Replacing live actors entirely with AI and CGI generated characters seems far away right now, but in six months the situation can be entirely different. And once the big studios and streaming services let AI loose on scripts, they can do what Hollywood writers have been doing forever: rehash the same 100 plots, add a new twist or combine them in a slightly different way and hey presto, a new episode or film without having to pay for or argue with writers.

Cinema and TV content already practically always gets created by putting together the same old pieces already done and redone to death by everybody and their dog. Now they'll just let a computer do it. The sad thing is that it'll probably do a better job than the people who have been recycling the same tired tropes for decades now. The only way out of this predicament is to start creating actual new content. Of which there is veeeery little right now.

3:52 He knows that the ability to replace the actors will be here within the next 5 years or less. This guy is actively omitting the truth.

[undertow]

What is now won’t be what it is in a couple years. Statements like “technology can’t replace an actor”. It needs to be followed with “yet”. It’s a small step away and when the studios can they will replace actors extras any living person they can.

If Barbie & Superman 12 are the best these people can come up with,
then they are already overpaid.

I dont watch any of it anymore so my lack of caring is as infinite as the Universe.

That movie The Exorcist. The make-up crew on that movie did an amazing job. Not the possessed Regan. I'm talking about the old priest who was played by Max von Sydow. The way they made him look in that film is how he actually looks now. Amazing job don't let A.I. take make-up crew jobs.

YOUTHFUL BEAUTY FADES AND PHYSICAL STRENGTH WEAKENS,
YET THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT DO LAST . ----

I'm telling you, AI is gradually eliminating every sector and every industry. The current situation is that, the process of development in AI is extremely fast paced whereas the process of elimination of jobs of every sector is so slow and gradual. And that's the reason people are not still stressed about it. I mean, just look at the entertainment industry, Hollywood is completely shut down. Actors and Writers are on strike against AI. Today the creative sectors are compromised, tomorrow it will be our turn! Soon, these AI programs will get integrated with a fully functionable humanoid robot; which will replace most of the physical jobs in the not so far future! So better be prepared for what's coming!

I actually liked what Disney marvel Spider-Man no way home did to make me feel like I was a little kid again 21 years ago.

[MaverickBlue]

With the quality of a lot of the scripts that come out, it's no wonder the writers are concerned, a lot of them could have been written by ELIZA back in the 60's....

[Joeblow-kn]

Why not ai, I’m over the political bullshit. These people preach.

[grayghost]

But people can make these tools in their basement with zero dollars. If you use public domain works and your own, you have more than enough for a specialized model. Anyone can make these tools now. High-school kids are making these tools now.

The secret sauce was revealed, and most people can make there own tools and models now.

In my opinion using technologies like CGI, VFX & AI in the movie industry is very important. Because while shooting an explosive scene for instance a war, fast and furious kind of extravaganza or openhimer, cumulative the environmental pollution it may cause is not lesser than an oil refinery.

The studio's pay you to capture your face, but don't tell you they have your face on file and now can use it without your permission on other films or TV shows without paying you, that what sag does not want as a example
