While it’s really scary to think that Hollywood may be about to implode because of AI, I think actors as a profession should be fine. The transition will be turbulent, but once we reached the AI Hollywood Singularity, all the actors who lose their job because of AI will go into live theatre that will pick up the slack.
I think this will be the biggest change in Hollywood since the advent of the talkies.
So, what will happen is, instead of going to Hollywood, actors will want to go to Broadway. And, as such, the local live theatre will see a huge influx of actors as people want something that is real and live in real life.
That, at least, is the most hopeful outcome.
I suppose that it’s possible that people just want care and the entire Hollywood industry will implode and, lulz, their won’t be any jobs for actors at all. That’s kind of the dystopian outcome.
But I’m hopeful.
