That's not what you suggested, though. You said that young talented directors will make movies with an AI-generated Tom Cruise anyway and insinuated that this is what we should allow. That's the opposite of "...being clear that it's not me." By the way, the law already allows all this when it's clear that no particular person is imitated. We're talking about the cases when it's not clear.
Or do you suggest to have different laws for celebrities and poor actors?
I don't really understand what's confusing..
If a director makes a movie with AI Tom Cruise it's not ambiguous if the real Tom Cruise participated or not. The goal is not to fool everyone to think he was in it (b/c that would be trivially denied by the real man). There is a list of credits at the end if you're somehow confused. So if the movie is about drowning Scientologists, you'll know it's not supported by the real Tom Cruise
It's similar to if you were to paint a picture of him sodomizing a goat. You don't immediately think "damn, he's a real sick bastard". You just assume it's a fake things created by the creator/director. Nobody is hurt (well maybe his feelings a bit)
If you do make a thing that confuses people and makes them thing it's the real Tom Cruise and he's somehow hurt by this then that's kinda messed up and should be illegal.
In this case with the AI chatbot it's not confusing. I don't think Scarlett is on the other end of the line. Everyone knows it's not really her. It just sounds like her
There was no confusion on my part, you're confirming that you're propagating what I thought you were. I indeed think that's insane and plain immoral. It seems we have very different views on personality rights. I suppose we have to agree to disagree on that one.
well.. welcome to the new world old man/woman
Regardless of what me and you think this just seems inevitable and we're all just going to have to get used to it. Just like you can't stop people from drawing and painting other people - you won't be able to stop people from using AI to render their image/voice. It's all getting cheaper and more accessibly
