I’m not okay with AI potentially replacing artists/actors and putting them out of work.
But we’re talking about recreating lost footage from the back half of the last century. Everyone involved is dead and gone. There’s no compensating them. As for their descendants, they are free to make their own money — but by the same token, the AI shouldn’t claim it’s their ancestors acting when it’s generating the stuff. And in fact, it should change it up so it doesn’t resemble any real person.
Honestly the audience for something this old will be quite niche anyway.
