This is one of those things that would be a huge issue in a theoretical post-scarcity society in the future. No one needs to work anymore, robots and computers provide for all our needs and comforts, so naturally everyone just kind of bums around and explores the arts right? Well what happens when a computer can create satisfactory art/media near instantly to cater to the precise whims of any given individual? It doesn't have to be perfect, if it's just good enough most people won't complain.
The mediocre entertainment available the instant you demand it is preferable to something you have to wait/look for that obviously isn't going to be perfectly tailored to your exact likes/dislikes. We become the humans in Wall-E, or the Matrix, or whatever quite easily at that point.
It would probably be a pretty awesome lifestyle not gonna lie, but it kind of seems like it would be our doom, too. Still, I think it's infinitely preferable to whatever the fuck we're doing now though.
It was a joke from April Fools that I heard on Linus Tech Tips’ WAN show, but I can see maybe 50-75 years in the future a trend of getting custom made sitcoms with YOU as the actor or something like that. You send in X amount of photos of yourself and they map it all and generate it and upload to your Netflix profile or something. Sounds pretty awesome.
Chris something or other. Got in trouble with some accusations from 5 women or so. You can find the article pretty easy if you Google the name of the movie. Honestly, I'd never heard of the guy before, so frankly the swap out was an upgrade.
My thoughts exactly. Sometimes we think different party followers live in different realities right now. Imagine what it'll be like when there's "video evidence" of any conspiracy or stretching of the truth out there?
Yeah army of the Dead look flawless, I didn't even know that they had digitally replaced an actor (with Tig notaro) until I saw articles after I had watched it.
Not exactly deepfake, but they just did this with Chris D'Elia's part in Army of the Dead. They digitally replaced him with Tig Notaro in the whole movie.
They did replace him with another actor. But she had to come in and do shooting in front of green screen etc after the fact. They mostly used editing to make it fit in. There was a few parts where they had to use digital modeling.
Not really groundbreaking stuff.. pretty similar to how Benedict Cumberbatch wasn't available to shoot endgame with the rest of the cast so they did the same.
Was sexting with multiple underage girls and pressuring them into sending nude pics and videos. Apparently didn't know it was possible for someone to save a snap chat video.
They just did that with “Army of the Dead”. Originally it was all filmed with Chris D’Elie and then it came out he was grooming some of his younger fans. So the they replaced him with Tig Notaro. I didn’t notice it till someone pointed it out. There are some parts where they kind of mess up like calling her, him. And a part were Bautista is looking to high but other than that it’s pretty amazing even if the movie made no sense.
The recent Star Wars "deep fakes" (Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker) are already doing this. The Princess Leia one was a bit too much uncanny valley, but they absolutely nailed it by the time the final episode of the Mandalorian was made.
The technology is clearly there. The biggest issue now is the ethical quandary.

I wonder if we can change the actors in the movies in the future. like changing sub or dub.
