    Actors want their new union contracts to give them consideration and consent rights over how AI is used and adequate compensation if they decide to give producers the go-ahead.

    That’s extremely reasonable and I can’t believe the studios won’t give them this simple thing.

    It’s the same old story of tech shaking things up. This time it’s actors drawing the line, making headlines because, well, they’re actors and their stage is way bigger.

    Nobody’s saying identity theft isn’t an issue. But to say all AI is bad is like telling the horse to trash talk cars. Progress is about moving forward, not getting trapped in a loop protecting what we’re used to. We adapt or we get left behind, simple as that.

      No. It’s like telling chimps to trash talk humans. Your argument is the same as nuclear bomb development…and look what that has led to.

      For now, so-called AI is in advanced toy stages, copying pixels and digital audio without independently understanding what it’s doing. For now. If you don’t think it will eventually replace you—and sooner than you think—you’re extremely naïve.
