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.

maybe - *maybe* if they could make it good enough. But right now they're struggling to - make two actors appear in the same scene, while keeping the same clothes and characteristics - say the line that's given to them without changing it - add any emotion whatsoever - speak or act in any negative way - portray crimes - keep the same voice - not move their mouths in unison when someone else is speaking - make any kind of unusual movement - keep objects from disappearing - not make objects they're talking about appear in the scene - change volume - use the correct eyeline (look at the right person, not look down the barrel of the camera - not phase through solid objects and that's before you even get into things like subtext, irony, sarcasm, equivocation, stylistic choices, accents...
