Though James Cameron — who sits on the board of Stability AI — has expressed positive sentiments about artificial intelligence usage in filmmaking, he calls the prospect of the technology replacing actors “horrifying” and maintains its implementation will inevitably raise the bar for our standards on human-made art.
In an extended interview with CBS Sunday Morning promoting the forthcoming Avatar: Fire and Ash, the three-time Oscar winner segued into talk about generative AI while discussing his affinity for motion capture, which he described as the “purest form” of performance

On the other hand; we could have stranger things still played by children, not 20 year olds who look like 30 year olds.

The sampling era (invention of microphone and camera) is drawing to a close.
The instantiation era (invention of synthesiser and CGI) is reaching maturity.

Art being replaced is the least of our problems with AI.
It is going for entry level jobs office jobs, management jobs, professional jobs.

The people you see in a movie filmed with a digital camera (the standard) are not real – they’re pixels. The actors are essentially manipulating the digital output by using their bodies as an interface.
The digital output is then enhanced and changed with filters and there are all sorts of digital editing tricks, including manipulating the people in the film. (Avatar might be the most extreme representation of this.)
Isn’t the issue really about keeping the Hollywood money train going? They might all be fine with it if they had the exclusive rights, control and profits of Ai-created films
The only purest form of entertainment involving actors are live plays.

AI will be for the simple made for TV/netflux movies you can churn out sleeping…
Movies with real humans at any part of the creation will be the modern high art.
Yes, it’s 2.30 and I’m in a very cynical mood.

How many „characters‘ in „Fire and Ash“ are entirely CGI with no actor being paid for the role?
How many Jimmy? He’s been using CGI instead of actual actors for decades and now what’s to pretend he’s he working actors hero

Actor or everyone else? Hmm, I won’t cry over actors losing their jobs nearly as much as the rest of us. The rest of us that he seems to not care about.

Samurai swords were also sacred until the long gun showed up off the coasts of Japan. Either change with new technology or be consumed by it.

From all the examples I’ve seen real actors and artists have nothing to be afraid of, average intelligence isn’t replacing anything that needs quality. BUT it’s going to replace all the entryways which means it’s going to be harder for people to make a living as they develop skills.

Whilst Art is truly great, there will always be those who take short cuts. A true dilemma that’s only going to get worse.

It’s not sacred. Why should millionaire actors be placed on a pedestal? I’m sure he doesn’t give a shit about my job.
