I disagree I believe we can bring those people to life on film. Take Chris Farley for example. You take all the films and the years on Saturday Night Live. Combine that with probably 100's of hours if not more of interviews and behind the scene footage. Then take everything every written by him. There is apparently 90% of his voice for the original Shrek movie out there. Add that too.

Put it all into an algorithm with AI and you could probably get pretty damn close short of having the real life person.

Watch and see if they decide to push forward with this technology (and seems rhey do) we could see tons of long dead actors come back to life in new movies and film.

So you're saying this AI knows comedy like Chris Farley knew comedy? Because I haven't even seen an AI that can tell a good joke yet.
