Seeing Tupac's hologram perform to a cheering crowd was when it crossed the line in to creepy for me. A lot of people seem turned off by this at least, and it's really exposing how these studios think of people. I think this could turn in to a thing where the studios really push these personality constructs, while many actors and the public will be morally opposed to it. So the studios might have to appeal to a moral justification for when it's appropriate to use these AI constructs, like, "we really wanted to honor Robin with this project that we felt carried on his legacy, and a percentage of proceeds will go to the good foundation to help other's who suffer like Robin did, so seeing Robin's personality construct perform for you is really a moral duty and helps make the world a better place." Also anywhere AI isn't noticeable to the viewer, for the cost savings and avoiding the negative reaction to it.

I think there will be studios producing fully AI-driven content though. They'll be like low budget and corny, a diarrhea level of quantity and quality. Not unlike those campy dramatized skits on YouTube now where it's like, "homeless girl steals a rich man's heart, will make you cry." They'll be these ultra-niche AI generated shorts that are a mix of advertisement and generic story arc. The AI spam is already pretty hilarious, "Elon has an invention that can make anyone a millionaire in 30 days." I think we're about to witness a dearth of content so shitty that no present day comparison could describe.

Hold on, 50 cent had a hologram? Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to just hire him, since he's still alive... when was this?

edit: see OP changed his comment from 50 cent to Tupac ๐Ÿ™„
