SAG-AFTRA has slammed a newly-launched AI talent studio in a statement released Tuesday, saying: “Creativity is, and should remain, human-centered.”
Over the weekend, the creator of the computer-generated actress Tilly Norwood responded to critics after news broke that her studio was looking to get Norwood representation.
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.
Like how CGI means there’s no more live-action. We can have movies without real cameras on real people, so acting is over.
