Is there a limit to using AI tools to enhance an actor’s or film’s performance?
We have been talking a lot about digital editing actors’ performances. From deepfaking actors like Bruce Willis to virtually dubbing out curse words or translating films to another language, AI has become Hollywood’s favorite friend.
While there are good reasons to use deepfake edit performances to save your film from going way over budget, some actors like Keanu Reeves have a problem with this technology.
During a recent interview with Wired for John Wick: Chapter 4, Reeves spoke against deepfake technology in Hollywood, saying “When you give a performance in a film, you know you’re going to be edited, but you’re participating in that. If you go into deepfake land, it has none of your points of view. That’s scary. It’s going to be interesting to see how humans deal with these technologies. They’re having such cultural, sociological impacts, and the species is being studied. There’s so much ‘data’ on behaviors now.”
