Why is AI going to cause celebrities to disappear?
I imagine that it won’t be too long until you don’t need a real human anymore, and we can generate realistic human characters at will.
At that point, why would we still plug real humans into the replication machine? It will be considered old fashioned very quickly.
It won't be too long before enough talented nobodies sell everything about themselves for personally life changing amounts, that we can create anything from scratch on the fly.
But there will always be other types of celebrities.
