LOS ANGELES — Hollywood's attractive actors fear that artificial intelligence will replace their jobs, but for many performers, that is already a reality.
From Game of Thrones to the latest Marvel superhero movies, studios that want to save money have long used computer-generated* background figures to reduce the number of actors needed for battle scenes.
Now the rise of AI means cheaper and more powerful techniques are being explored to create highly elaborate* action scenes, such as car chases and shootouts — without humans. Stunt* work, a time-honored Hollywood tradition that has developed from silent movies through to Tom Cruise's latest Mission Impossible, is at risk. "The technology is getting faster and better, " said Freddy Bouciegues, stunt coordinator for movies such as Free Guy and Terminator: Dark Fate. "It's really a scary time right now. "
Studios are already requiring stunt and background performers to take part in high-tech 3D "body scans（扫描）" on set, often without explaining how or when the images will be used. Advances in AI mean these likenesses could be used to create detailed "digital replicas", which can perform any action or speak any dialogue its creators wish.
Bouciegues fears producers could use these virtual* image to replace "nondescript" stunt performers, such as those playing actors jumping out of the way of a car chase.
The lack of promise of the technology company over the future use of AI is one of the major reasons in the current strike* by the Screen Actors Guild, or SAGAFTRA, and Hollywood's writers, who have been on the picket lines for more than 100 days. Last month, SAG-AFTRA warned that studios intend to create realistic digital copies of performers, to use "in any project they want" — all for the payment of one day's work.
However, the studios doesn't think they have any mistake. They offered rules to person who join in the project, including the right to know and compensation.
"She looking at the prince, and then threw herself from the ship into the sea. She felt her body dissolve into foam. " Mom was telling the story of "The Little Mermaid" to eight-year-old Kelly. Kelly couldn't help crying after hearing this ending.
As Kelly grew older, she read the original story in the university library. The description in the original text about the little mermaid saving the prince and seeing the human world was like this: She thought that the human world was much larger than her own. Indeed, they could sail on ships on the sea, climb the tall mountains, and their land, with its forests and fields, stretched out so far that she could not see its end.
Kelly suddenly realized that this was not the same little mermaid who fell in love. Curious, she continued reading on.
After returning to the sea, the little mermaid found her grandmother and asked, "What is the difference between humans and mermaids? Do humans die?"
Her grandmother told her, "Humans' lives are even shorter than ours. We can live up to three hundred years, but when our lives end, we turn into foam on the water. But humans have a soul that lives forever. . . "
The little mermaid asked, "Why don't we have an immortal soul? As long as I can become a human and enter the heaven, even if I can only live there for a day, I am willing to give up my life of several hundred years here. "
The rest of the story was no different from what Kelly's mother had told her, but the ending was like the follow.
Now the sun was rising from the sea, and its rays seemed to dissolve the cold foam into warm sunshine. The little mermaid was surprised that she still existed. Where should she go now?
A voice told her, "You are going to the daughter of heaven. There is not only one way to have an immortal soul by owning human love. ▲. Compared to the courage to pursue love, this is a greater courage. "
Finally, that voice told her, "You have suffered pain and insisted kindness. Through your own efforts, you will create an immortal soul for yourself. "
Reading this, Kelly suddenly realized.
