Actors are concerned they will be replaced, too. In the future you may have Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman reprising their roles in Casablanca II or endless new plot developments with different outcomes of your own choosing. Joan Collins maintains that she was the original choice to play Cleopatra, but she wouldn't sleep with the producer, so with AI we can see how she would look as Cleo.
tbf CGI-generated movies are very expensive nowadays to produce. It may actually be cheaper to get some blended movie where you 'computerise' a human into the movie.
What I find fascinating about the AI, not so much with that platform on a mobile phone as suggested in the video -- that will be only a transitionary stage -- will be a blending of such intelligent AI platform combined with robotics.
Imagine having your own bespoke robot where you can either make your own from a download of your own 3D printing machine or from your local 3D Kinkos printers. Then being able to download the intelligent base personality into that robot that you just made? A personality that can learn and adjust to you.
We will both probably be at the tail ends of our lives even if this happens but it won't be impossible technically-wise. (I am seeing a lot more robots here doing menial tasks. They arent that expensive either.)
Why?
Relationships are increasingly getting more complicated. Marriages are failing at an increasing rate -- 56% at the moment (why? is another day's discussion and not really an AOTF Debbie Downer discussion, more WC!!!) And how men/women (Gex Zs) see marriage as an institution is quite different to our generation.
Secondly, we already have a blended co-existence and technology. We spend enough time online that sometimes it's tough to remember whether you had that 'conversation' spoken verbally or on chat. Something that you read with a book or online?
Take this forward 20 years -- with every increasingly complicated relationship, why not have your need for companionship; whether physical, emotional or platonic be specialised, a division of labour so to speak? Blended.
We already have a lot of our needs being satisfied like group dynamics done or enhanced by technology. Already blending.
The mobile phone already allows our network of friends to come along with you on your travels by photo sharing, vlogging or even live video feeds, all done seamlessly.
In 20-30 years' time, I can imagine living in a world which is highly specialised or bespoke where you have intelligent robots being your primary companion or 'daily driver'.
And humans for other more specialised human-centric activities for like (actual) sports, group activities or physical like sex or specific 'gigs'.
It's the blending of technology with humans but extracting or utilising the best of what each has to offer.
