alt Hacker NewsI can actually imagine actors selling the rights to make fake images with them.
In late stage capitalism you pay for fake photos with someone. You have chat gpt write about how you dated for a summer, and have it end with them leaving for grad school to explain why you aren't together.
Eventually we'll all just pay to live in the matrix. When your credit card is declined you'll be logged out, to awaken in a shared studio apartment. To eat your rations.
I can see them getting paid like residuals from TV re-runs.
But after a point it'll hit saturation point. The novelty will wear off since everyone has access to it. Who cares if you have a fake photo with a celebrity if everyone knows it's fake.
