I think you’re talking about the Imagine key, but there is no telling when it might go on-sale again. Just a guess, but probably not until next year at the soonest.
Go review the 2023 Strike thread where AI was also brought up. TP made it pretty clear he is for the wholesale replacement of all actors across the board. Whether we think it’s a useful tool or not he is basically advocating (even if he doesn’t like that word used here) for the acting...
I’m the one who said AI won’t be able to do creative tasks like voice acting in a way like Williams or any other good voice actor does today. At least not for the foreseeable future. Will it be able to replace background noise like crowds and such, sure. But full on character dialog that is...
Except it was Tom who suggested his brother to replace him when he wasn't available as I recall. So while a considered a "low-level" actor in that respected, Tom is 100% impacted if his brother was replaced by AI.
And its not just voice actors, if you go back to the 2023 Strike thread, he suggests replacing all actors (his target at the time was Rachel Zegler) with AI. For someone who doesn't care about modern entertainment he sure has many opinions on it.
Except I'm pretty sure that Tom would be mad at Disney if his brother was replaced by an AI, leading to him not willing to voice Woody in TS5 or voice any character in the future. And I'm pretty sure many A-listers would feel the same way about any AI replacing their sound-alike human counter...
I don't know if you're joking, but is it a wolf? I thought it was suppose to be a grizzly bear, as in the California grizzly bear on the state flag, hence why its called grizzly peak.
I understand what you mean now that you have clarified it further, but it comes across just as @DKampy said, “ I liked gore as a teen and now that I am an adult I am over it”.
Nah, I'm a rebel. This thread has been more active on the topic than the other thread, no offense to @Dead2009. Unless the mods can merge the two, this one should remain the active one in my opinion.
Yes I'm aware of some like Google's AI "passing" the test, but its been debated on if it really was successful enough to be considered a "pass" or if it just got enough inputs through its trials to be able to fumble its way into "passing", ie the pattern recognition was able to see a path to get...
Yeah no doubt that AI can be used within Hollywood in some form, it is already. ILM Stagecraft for example is using AI generated sets for movies and shows for years now. And yes AI is not going anywhere, I agree. But replacing actors completely, in this context voice actors, I don't see that...
Given that transistors on chips are already hitting its natural physical limits before the atomic scale, not sure how its possible to continue Moore's law much longer. NVidia CEO couple years ago said the same thing.
Quantum computing is another matter and it has a lot of possibilities as...
Its funny to think how if the AI is intelligent enough to replace actors it wouldn't also want the same rights and other protections that human actors have. Imagine an AI strike where instead of Hollywood being shutdown it just shuts down the entire world. Yeah good times.... 🤣
I guess it depends on how extensive the PM redo would require. I imagine just bringing that back is a large factor in determining what to do with the rest of the land.
