Not just blue screen but these new AI actors would do things that no real human being could do. One reason why Game of thrones had only 8 seasons is because crew got bored and kids grew up.

With deepfakes you can have peter pan like actors who will not age or even reverse age. everyone will have 8 pack abs and 36D busts (or whatever audience likes). In fact there could be A/B testing of how actors should look and behave.

Next obvious step is people like me volunteering to be that "extra" behind the key actor and engage in a bidding war. All I have to do is give my body scan and one of the zombies killed by Rick in walking dead could be me.

Bulbs did not replace candles, they created possibilities that candles could not.
