From what I can tell, it seems like it's currently fairly lucrative to create virtual influencer personalities for Instagram et-al. They are supposedly a much safer bet for brands to work with, because there is no ego, no bullshit, no entitlement, and no risk of dodgy skeletons in the closet or some such.

I can imagine a few actors where movie studios will probably consider paying more for their replicas, just so that they don't have to deal with the toxicity that is A-list celebs.

An AI Robert Downey Jr. would be significantly less likely to break into his neighbor's house while high on drugs and fall asleep in a child's bedroom.

There will be a shortage of waitstaff and Uber drivers in the Los Angeles area. I don't know if that's an upside.

studios can create infinite remakes of successful movies and "digital actors" dont generate controversies
