"You can't stop the signal, Mal" My favorite quote from Firefly. You can't stop progress. AI will completely replace these people in the near future. Imagine movies and shows with good writing, and relatable characters that exist only as 1s and 0s in a render farm. Computing power and storage capacities expand exponentially every few years, bringing render costs down. By 2035, blockbuster movies will cost a couple million to make, with no more royalties or residuals to human actors. "Actors" appear in movies and then disappear. The way it should be.
