What happens when AI can generate indistinguishable performances? The entertainment industry faces a genuine inflection point. Hollywood's traditional gatekeeping—built on scarce talent and exclusive star power—suddenly looks fragile. We're not talking about replacing actors entirely, but the economics shift dramatically. Why pay premium fees for talent when AI-generated performances become commoditized? This ripples far beyond entertainment. It's a preview of how automation reshapes value capture across creative industries. The real question: who captures the upside, and what happens to displaced workers? This kind of economic disruption will define the next decade.
