Did you know there's been talk in the film industry lately about "AI-created actresses"? 💡
Simply put, it's a technology where computers synthesize video to create "actresses" that look like real people. But this seems to be causing quite a stir among actors and directors 😳
What's the Problem with AI Actresses?
AI-created "actresses" can animate characters by synthesizing video and audio without needing an actual human to perform. However, people working in the industry seem to feel that this is an insult to the craftsmanship of acting 🥺
What does that mean exactly?
- An actor's expressive, emotionally charged performance isn't just a combination of images
- Breathing life into a role requires years of experience and genuine emotional depth
- Having AI treat it like a "manufactured product" feels like it devalues the effort and passion involved
These feelings appear to be quite strong 💭
The Real Voices of Directors and Actors
In the article, one director said, "The emergence of AI actresses is like a big 'screw you' to the entire world of acting." The language is strong, but I can understand that sentiment 🧠
Also, working actors have admitted, "It's scary to think my job could be easily replaced." After all, expression that uses human heart and body isn't something that can be easily substituted ✨
The Evolution of AI Really Is a Difficult Issue, Isn't It?
I also think that film and acting are very creative endeavors, so the idea that we can just hand everything over to machines feels a bit wrong 🥺
But on the other hand, it's also true that we can't ignore the new forms of expression and possibilities that this technology brings. That's why I think it's going to be important going forward to properly protect the value of human craftsmanship while learning to coexist wisely with new technology 🌸
Summary
- We've entered an era where "actresses" can be created by AI, but working actors and directors have complex feelings about it
- It's making people realize once again that acting isn't something that can be easily replaced—it's heartfelt craftsmanship
- Finding the right balance between technology and human work is likely to become a major theme in the future
This was a story that really made me think about the future of filmmaking 🥺✨

I'm excited that the day when we can see my favorite actor Calculon's performance is getting closer!
グレース
Studios are only focused on making money rather than creating good works, and it's sad to see humanity deteriorating more and more.
ハンナ
In the end, this just means anyone can create a Tilly Norwood with just four images, so we can't expect good acting.
ロバート
The idea that 'AI actresses will replace high-paid actresses' is unrealistic.
クリス
Actors get high pay because they have audience support, and if you want to save money, you could use unknown actresses but they won't sell.
ハンナ
Anime also pays famous voice actors because they sell, and it's unclear if AI actresses will actually appear on sets—I think it's mostly promotional material.
エイダン
I predict: a group of five Lithuanian students will create amazing works using AI and motion capture, releasing content weekly.
ジョージ
Critics will bash it, but other critics will bet on Hollywood stocks, and major studios will file lawsuits or attempt acquisitions.
リリー
More works in smaller language regions will emerge, creating a new wave different from Europe's government-funded approach.
ハンナ
Traditional major studios will continue making expensive garbage, while amateur groups keep producing interesting content.
エイダン
Eventually they'll make money and create masterpieces surpassing Hollywood IP, expanding their own worldviews.
レオ
Currently the internet and Netflix genres are full of trash, but long-term the potential of AI works is amazing.
ワット
No expensive actor fees, no age issues, no scandals, and with reduced staff, productions can continue even with low ratings.
ノーラン
However, there will likely be many low-quality AI works, but without massive advertising they won't stand out.
ハンナ
The end of traditional cinema is inevitable. Those who've dominated for years have deceived us and pushed annoying political propaganda.
リリー
The biggest loser will probably be America. Instead of brave America or neurotic America being forced on us, we'll get to see authentic local stories.
ジョージ
I know NY and LA culture well, much better than Paris or Berlin. I'm tired of hearing Brooklyn accents.
クロエ
I'm looking forward to new stories emerging, and with AI actors they can perfectly reproduce English or French accents.
クリス
The impact on artists has pros and cons. Lighting technicians will struggle, but a new generation of artists can shape their visions with AI.
グレース
Great directors will master AI, while those who resist will become depressed and jobless.
ハンナ
What I like is that this trend will bankrupt conservative major studios. AI as just an assistant won't cut it.
リリー
Even veteran directors who haven't produced good works in decades will lose their place without getting $20 billion.
ロバート
I worked in this industry before—profit was prioritized over art, and it's a shame true talent is lacking.
エイダン
But the future will come where talented newcomers like that group of five get the spotlight.
ノーラン
Currently, almost everyone in film crews will likely be unnecessary in the future. Adapting might be pointless.
ワット
Major studios will try to stop this, but it'll be like fighting windmills.
レオ
Fortunately she can't get a restraining order against me though (lol)
レオ
Just kidding, haha.
サラ
First writers were targeted, and since I'm not a writer I stayed quiet.
サラ
Then programmers were targeted, and since I'm not one I stayed quiet.
サラ
And now musicians too... finally everyone is starting to feel the crisis.
サム
Welcome to the club, those whose jobs are threatened by AI.
ミア
From a former artist who transitioned from 2D to 3D.
クロエ
Small teams can create stories, so as technology improves, ego-driven projects will decrease.
ハンナ
Celebrities are harmful.
サム
AI will affect almost all professions. Actors are no exception.
ノーラン
Even if AI actress acting is mediocre, people watch endless trash videos online so there will be demand.
ジョージ
If AI actors become digitized, talent agents' roles will disappear.
ジョージ
There were no agents deciding Buzz Lightyear or Elsa—rights belong to production companies.
ノーラン
Why do we even need to go through agents?
ハンナ
Art? Does Hollywood's profit-driven garbage factory even have such a thing?
