movies

This is a stupid publicity stunt by some schmuck. Fictional characters can't join a union.

That said:

Artists objecting to AI talk like fucking aliens. 'Where's its intent? What's its actors secret? How does it warm up? Who did it vote for? Does it have Buddha nature?'

This lifelike cartoon is a text. The audience does not see your internal state. That private emotional landscape is useful to you, as a human, to put a performance onscreen. But all that actually matters is what's onscreen. If someone fakes it better than you feel it, they will get hired over you.

many still worry that AI could, one day, replace actors

Like how CGI means there's no more live-action. We can have movies without real cameras on real people, so acting is over.
