I wouldn’t call anything those 3 have done ‘innovative’ either. Two of them were trained practically from birth (Gorden-Leavitt started acting when he was 4, Johanson was 9) to do a very specific task, repeatedly, rewarded when they do it right, with a costume to cover up the machines underneath. They read from a script, written by someone else. The human equivalent of AI. I’m not a fan of the rise of the machines either but this headline isn’t selling me.

Not paying creatives for their work isn’t an innovation its the gold standard

Sooooo much smarter than the fucking moron CP (Chris Pratt), who believes AI cannot replace the “soul” of an actor.
Absolute fucking clown…
