They would now that they can.

On a related note, it’s long been a dream of mine to “download a car” by 3D scanning a nice 1:18 model of something exotic (like a Ferrari 250 Berlinetta Lusso or BMW 507), pay a company to create a full size model by milling it out of a huge block of foam with a huge 5-axis CNC machine, cast fiber glass molds of the body panels, build a spaceframe chassis underneath, fit the rear subframe of a Tesla, and the front axle of a Miata, and live forever in glory.
Actors are gonna straight up be assets on the Epic store.
Subscriptions service for thee because “intellectual ownership” but not for me to make a digital slave on your appearance.
Don’t get me wrong, the fact ai technology has gotten to this level is great and might someday allow anyone single person to create a high quality movie or game with no budget. But this will only work if all of it is voluntary and within the public domain.
Unless regulations are brought I feel there is no way of stopping hollywood !
I thought this was a great argument initially, but the counter here would be that in the case of Hollywood, both parties would be agreeing to perpetual copies. In the case of piracy, that isn’t the case.
I think the argument against digital copies of actors is that the studios tend to have most of the power in negotiations, so it’s less of an agreement and more of a coercion.
I agree. But ultimately the actor does consent. So the dynamics are different than with the meme being presented.
Same logic in consent can be applied to an adult/child sexual relationship.
The situation is the same as the actor (child) cannot consent due to having no power.
I’m renting an actor this weekend for the premiere of my new Ai movie.
