actors

With AI video generation, it may not be much longer that real people are typically employed for acting jobs, or at least not as has been done in the past.

It may become something that was known to be done in the past, but hard to comprehend in the modern day. As in, people used to pretend to be all these characters; they had special costumes created for them; some of them had to sit for hours each day while makeup was being applied to them! They would memorize long stretches of dialogue for their roles; they even used onions to help produce tears to feign sadness! They were able to make it appear that they really felt all those emotions that they were portraying! For TV sitcoms, the studios built fake houses that were open on one side for the cameras to record from!

Maybe human actors will come to be seen as the ecologically better option, and some movies will be advertised as such, "with real human actors!".

This makes me think of (one of) the Ben & Jerry's labeling fights. When they labeled their ice cream with "no rBGH," and Monsanto-funded dairy industry groups fought to get laws banning such labeling.

So in your vision, I can imagine Disney or Warner Discovery lobbying to keep that one studio from advertising "with real human actors!"

Heh. Yeah, I can see that happening too.
