How Close Are We?
This is a critical real-world issue. The 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes fought specifically against studios scanning actors to use their AI likenesses. Generative video tools like OpenAI Sora can now create realistic scenes from text. Virtual production (The Volume) places actors in digital worlds. We are very close to 'acting' becoming a post-production AI process.
