I think what both actors and writers are asking for is fair. These are multi-billion dollar companies which are trying to essentially cut humans out of the equation entirely and replace the entertainment industry with AI garbage. "Hey, give us a handful of actors for like a day, we'll scan them and then use their likeness in whatever we want. But we only gotta pay for the 1 day, right?" Most of the stuff coming out of Hollywood is garbage now adays anyway (in my opinion) I almost exclusively stick to older shows and movies. I also don't see the need to have a constant stream of new content, are you telling me you've seen every show/movie you're interested in? There's not a single show/movie which you wanted to see, but never got around to seeing? I just don't believe that. I'm constantly finding new shows/movies/anime to watch, some from the current year and some from long before I was born. I probably have enough content to last me a lifetime.
I will always side with humans over the massive corporations, whose strategy is literally as comically evil as "let's wait them out until they literally lose their houses." Seems to me corporations are becoming more and more transparently evil, and people don't seem to care. It actually boggles my mind.
I don't care if someone is alive, dead or otherwise. I don't think we should be replacing actors with AI, the more humans we take out of the situation, the more fake and soulless things will become. Not to mention, new actors will never be able to enter the scene as the old ones corpses are just puppeteered around like Weekend at Bernies.
This is all just my silly opinion, naturally.
