TLDR: "soon people will be able to sit at a computer and create a movie 'indistinguishable from what Hollywood now releases.'"

To be frank, 'soon' is now, most Hollywood movies are already under 15 second action shots and dialog scenes can be green screened by anyone with a grid suit and enough time.

What!!!

If the stars succeed in getting legal closure on the moral rights to their body image, it's a logical extension of laws around faked porn spam, but with Hollywood accounting penalties. Victims of AI pornification deserve more but Cruise and Pitt can afford better lawyers.

It's going to be about as hard as "my sweet lord" to decide if that's really a Cruise fake, or just somebody who comes from the general are around Cruiseland, but without the appellation controlee mark. (I think the judge got that wrong and George Harrison wasn't stealing). Bitter sweet symphony, much though I angst about the legals of nanker phelge music (c) in that case, it was actual sampling.

Didn't somebody release a song with every combination of 4 chord sequences across the piano range to establish (parody)rights over every tune? So a fight club scene continuously updated with AI renders of every film actor, ever.

Mike Batt did a silent track and some lawsuit got done with John Cage lawyers around it, but only as a publicity stunt. AI silent track next.
