    Soon they will use puppets and have library of facial expressions only thing that will be paying is right to use the actors voice (cloned)

    I like real movies, not fake ones.

      So animated movies are invalid now?

      i like real musicians with real channel banner, not fake ones with white badge and ai slop filter photo

      All movies are fake even the so called real ones…if there is anything that has a producer its fake.

      Real is a cops body came or someone capturing real life events on their cell phone other than that all is scripted even whem it comes to wild life and documentaries

      Except Avatar was done hand by hand through computers throughout the years instead of AI generated like a slop.

    Eh, AI will replace all of this

      ONCE a movie is labelled ai, there no need for it to be expensive

    I would not be supprised if the next James Cameron movie shoots Gaussian Spats

    Everything in this video will be pointless in ten years. Viewers at home will be able to tell their tv what, starring who they want to see and using Ai, it will create the series or movie in seconds. Humans be funny.

      Who needs actors?

    There’s something about the way we express that I’ve never seen any special effect or CGI animation capture. Visually, the facial expression is absolutely perfect, the way the wrinkles work, eyes and mouth expand and all that. But that “soul” (for lack of a much better word) is always missing. Even though, funny enough, I think I connect a lot more to caricature facial expressions (for example in 2D animations and comics) than these realistic ones. For me, only live action actors or a more exaggerated expression work.

    Avatar was such a poor film it’s a shame this tech was wasted on this ugly looking movie.

    • @elegantcourtier
