Yet another case of Life imitating Art (please see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simone_(2002_film), this time from South Korea.
"I prefer Gerard Depardieu's AI avatar to the real thing. At least, Gerard's avatar behaves himself, is polite and smiles a lot. And he doesn't molest and grope actresses on set, breathing heavily down their neck and their throat, sticking his paws up their skirts, like a sweaty, flabby and hairy orang utang on heat..."
The South Korean pop band featured in the video-clip looks very real, but it is not: as the article points out, it is AI-created. Granted, some of those K-Pop bands do not look quite 'real' in many ways, even when their performers are human beings, as they are drilled robotically to perform in that kind of way. For a start, they look too perfect, particularly the girls. Then again, some pretty Korean girls do look perfect. And yet they are real.
Having said all this, if I were a singer, or actor, I would be worried: before long, it will be possible to produce entire feature films that will look quite 'real' with AI avatars pretending to be humans, and it is going to be a lot cheaper than using real (human) performers. For cheap, bland, industrially produced pop music, it won't be a great loss, in terms of creativity: Taylor Swift might as well retire in 2026.
