Replacement of actors with AI [View all]

I was speaking with my daughter last night. She was bringing up theater as a possible major in college. I can’t help but believe that the future actors of the world at some point in the near future will be computer generated.
Look at where AI was even one year ago versus the online videos today. It’s very hard to discern a high quality AI video. Where will that be in 5 years?

The days of super expensive on location shooting, $25M actor salaries are numbered. It was already a field where most people couldn’t earn a living. Where do you think it will end up in 10 years?
