This is the old argument that the motorized car will put street sweepers out of business.
There is plenty of room for creativity. Listen to a Hallmark Movie soundtrack and be convinced. =]
Paying artists to generate ordinary images when they could be creating living works is senseless. #Edusky
Is it our right to tell actors/writers who are against AI taking entry level jobs in their industry to just deal with it? Because that’s what it sounds like you’re saying.
I don't think anyone should look with cold heartedness at people who are undergoing job changes. This applies to factory workers and all kinds of people.
But jobs do change.
It's not a matter of what my right is but what works.
Here's a question- would you be happy with the education sector if signing a teaching contract allowed them to record your work for a year, and then an AI based on you did it the next year and you had to go do something else? Because that is what actors/writers are being asked to do rn.
As far as reproducing actors goes, we all wish we had data to reproduce some folks. Write contracts in a fair way. Lucille Ball didn't profit from reruns. She should have. That just makes sense to me.
I don't know all the answers. Change is hard.
You might not know that programmers have had to sign away the rights to *everything* they create while employed, not just what they were contracted to produce.
I think if ppl want to keep their own stuff, they should, and if unions want to skip contracts like that they should.
It's important for all of us to look for ways to make ourselves important in our work. I don't know what 3D printing will do, for example, to home building. My dad was always concerned there were no more stone masons.
There is always room for creativity.
I'd be more ok with the creation of generic content, but this is a specific demand by studios to be able to use people's likeness in perpetuity. Why as an actor would you want to give that away for anything less than the money you would have received for being in those films?
I think for the analogy to work, it'd be more like: "Ok, in return for your likeness, we're going to give you something very close to the amount of work we'd normally pay you for these appearances. Then, in return for maybe a 10-20% discount, you can keep making other movies and save you the time."
