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

      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.

          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:

          1. No more long waits for a new record to drop from your favorite “artist” - Taylor Swift still relevant in 50 years…etc, etc.

          2. Less revenue for TicketMaster because who tf is going to an AI concert?

          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.

        Especially with things like rick and morty and Justin roiland being removed. I would imagine his voice could be easily replicated using AI.
