2 years is wishful thinking. There is enough space in entertainment for AI actors and human actors. That being said, I think AI actors will dominate here.
The average movie watcher is already a fan of a fake image of entertainers whether they are on screen or not. AI isn’t replacing your best friend, it’s replacing someone you have never met and will probably never see in person anyway. Actors will have to start building deeper connections with their fans if they plan to stick around.
Good luck with that, I guess
Yeah, just like all movies are 3d now.
Directors must be salivating at the idea of actors who never say “I’m cold” or “that’s dangerous” or “you’re a hack.”
Most people won’t watch AI films without real actors and actresses
I pretty much turn off anything that has AI generated content in it and file it away as blacklisted.
this includes directors, studios, online creators, etc.
He is unfortunately correct, if the AI generated actors are convincing enough then majority of people will not care. Just like it is with CGI, people complain about CGI in movies but as examples they can only list movies with very poor CGI because our brain ignores good CGI.
Good thing they won’t be convincing enough. The preview for every AI actor I’ve seen has been laughably bad. Mostly because AI has trained itself off of decades of mediocre people using social media to “act” for ad placements while forcing a fake charismatic demeanor on everything else for community building. AI actors have the depth of a porn star convincing you their work is enjoyed more than their paycheck. Except AI performs that way for every basic human emotion.
AI isn’t even intelligent my dude. All forms of it just predict what best fills in a blank, and the sum total of every bad actor on social media is the largest pool it has to pull from. Expecting good or meaningful performances from AI actors is hilariously misguided. At best we’ll get perfect looking humans with flawless facial symmetry that have the emotional depth and inflection of text emojis.
That can’t carry a 2 hour film, let alone any content that requires emotional complexity. At best we’ll get movies that are just 2 hour reaction videos in what AI thinks humans do in certain situations. Baby born = happy face. Baby died = sad face. Is about the depth you can expect from these actors.

What the hell? Not so long ago, he was strongly opposed to digital SFX because he wanted movies to capture reality. Did we swap Kassovitz for an evil clone?
Any idea how much compute power its gonna take to make a feature film worth watching? lol
Remember when every movie just HAD to be 3D?
I remember it like the Metaverse. Or NFTs.
it’s been the same since cinema existed. Hollywood finds a trend that is popular and then runs it into the ground. 3D films. Star Wars clones. Slashers and Action movies in the 80s. Die Hard Clones, Disaster Movies, and Teen movies of the 90s. Hell back when Charlie Chaplin was making movies studios were pumping out knock offs like you wouldn’t believe. the “Beach Movies” of the 60s. The Western. so on and so forth. And of course recently adaptations of 80s toys and comics.
So yeah there will be a few AI only movies for awhile until the audience eventually gets sick of them and then Hollywood pivots to a new trend.
I fully agree here.
Yet still wondering why the “outcast goes on crazy adventure and discovers inner strength” animated dreck hasn’t run its course.
I guess I’m nobody

surprising the director of la haine is clearly not a pessimist
Nice to meet you brother.
I’m still grumpy about Special Effects. Give me a real stunt driver and practical effects please! …And real actors.
In this interview, Kassowitz misses the point entirely. He talks at length about how “AI steals, but it’s fine, we all steal, great art is made by stealing…” my bro we are aware. That is not the issue at all. (I mean, that’s one issue)
We (humanity) want to make art, we want to act, to paint, to sing, for fuck’s sake. Delegating creation of all things is missing the point because that’s not something you want to automate, unless you have some vested interest in getting rid of the “middleman” (=the artist).
Furthermore, it’s giving up the political power of art to corporations : manufacturing consent will never be as easy as with generative AI.Once again, Blade Runner wasn’t supposed to be an inspiration. Fuck off to mars, Kassowitz
Nobodies going to know who this guy is in 2 years. I already don’t.
Agreed, but uh… Nobody’s* (as in, nobody is. Not plural of nobody)

I’m still convinced these statements will age like milk.
In a few years people won’t care if their milk is AI, I heard it from an expert whose salary depends on him taking this position
