I really don't know how I'd feel if a movie or actor was entirely AI.

We've already had some instances, like Tarkin in Rogue One. Felt a bit ok because the actor was dead and they wanted to reuse the same character. Though, I didn't see a reason the character had to look the exact same. A recast would have been perfectly fine.

But an entirely new character as AI? Feels like taking the easy and cheap way out. At the same time, actors, animators, and everyone else surrounding the production are kind of a byproduct of trying to bring a vision/story to a medium. I think I'd look at something that used AI to that degree as a lesser product, even if I like the resulting movie. Something that just uses AI as a part of the whole movie making process though? I don't think I have a problem with that.

Just pointing out, Tarkin was not generative AI. That was a CG overlay of a real actor, same as what was done for the 'deaged' Luke in the Mandalorian.

Guess I misremembered, but I don't think it changes my opinion.

It's still Mark Hamill underneath the deaged character, right?

I think Mark Hamill may be underneath there for some of it, he was at least on set while filming, but most of it was done by Max Lloyd-Jones. It is Mark's voice of course.

But yeah, I didn't think it really matters to your points, just wanted to point it out.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
