SAG-AFTRA said that AMPTP’s AI plan included scanning background actors and using their likenesses “for the rest of eternity.”

Getting some real Black Mirror vibes from this story.
I just saw the episode you’re referring to - yes definitely got those vibes as well.
I’m surprised there’s not much abuzz yet in the recording industry for artists voice use. That seems like it’d be much easier to do and exploit. Think there’s already a lot of content using AI voice generation for parodying Obama, Trump, Biden, etc. This is going to get a lot bigger.
The Grammys actually said AI-generated songs were eligible! Insanity. Their rationale is that the person who prompted the AI gets the award. Still crazy.
Can we just make the Grammys themselves AI-directed? Then just let the robots give themselves their own awards and cut us out of the process altogether.
There an anime recently where basically every musical artist used AI in their songs I think. The main characters were unique for writing their own without it. Someone must remember the name of it lol.
Wow - complete and utter insanity. I think I read an article on an art contest prize awarded to an AI-generated piece.
The ONLY upsides to this are:
-
No more long waits for a new record to drop from your favorite “artist” - Taylor Swift still relevant in 50 years…etc, etc.
-
Less revenue for TicketMaster because who tf is going to an AI concert?
Why would it be worse that someone getting a Grammy for a song that is made out of samples or using premade virtual instrument loops like it’s commonly done in electronic music or hip-hop? Artists should be able to use any tools they want, but you do have to update the jury so it is still able to discriminate between artistic quality in a world with AI and cheap gimmicks.
Especially with things like rick and morty and Justin roiland being removed. I would imagine his voice could be easily replicated using AI.
“You wouldn’t steal an actor, would you?”
It’s almost like we need an entirely new legal framework to ensure the non wealthy a standard of living while being continuously devalued over time by me technological developments. Artists already sell their souls to survive in this “market.”
I love how they do this right after the Black Mirror episode comes out. Black Mirror is really doing a good job of getting us ready for the future.
