@maybenot @malwarejake @lain I think in the long run these tools will complement and not replace. Much like how photo editing tools didn't completely displace people from the creative process.

Hollywood already went through a lot of this same stuff once already. We all noticed how bad and obvious CGI can be (90s and early 00s were BAD because it was forced upon every movie) and also how poorly those movies age. Practical effects are coming back in vogue because they just look better. "Agatha All Along" was lauded for this.

We're going through another phase. People are experimenting and trying to figure out what works. AI acting performances are not going to capture the hearts and minds of audiences. AI girlfriends are just going to be porn 2.0.

People just don't like change but we need to figure out how to adapt.
