Lisa Kudrow is criticizing the movie "Here," which used AI-based tools to help de-age Tom Hanks by decades.

Hanks:

“Anybody can now recreate themselves at any age they are by way of AI or deep fake technology. I could be hit by a bus tomorrow and that’s it, but performances can go on and on and on and on,” Hanks said at the time. “Outside the understanding of AI and deepfake, there’ll be nothing to tell you that it’s not me and me alone. And it’s going to have some degree of lifelike quality. That’s certainly an artistic challenge but it’s also a legal one.”

Kudrow's point is that even just de-aging to play a much younger role prevents younger actors from getting the experience older actors have.

Which is a much better point than I expected.

Hanks seems to be looking at what he'll be leaving as an inheritance, either a finite amount of money, or the legal rights to print money by having Tom never stop acting. Which again would be taking roles from living actors.

It would essentially "freeze" Hollywood celebrities, and he's fine if it happens when he's at the peak. No future actor would ever get the amount of experience to rival him.

I haven't seen the movie, but it could have been cool for Colin Hanks to play younger Tom.
