It is going to be weird in the future, when people realize how much use these companies get out of things like the $200 scan and perpetual license to somebody’s likeness, and as a result stop using them. All art will be presumably based on remixing a set of scans from between like 2020 and 2025.

Will that be significant 15 years from now? I imagine most work by then using 3d models that aren't based on any particular person, to avoid license fees. I can't imagine this strike ending with one-time payments for perpetual license to use actors' likenesses. However, even royalties based on screen time of AI-generated derivatives of their likenesses won't save their jobs in the longer term.

In 15 years I would expect a large percentage of stand-ins to be CG but also that there are various movies which are entirely generated bybl extensions of today's diffusion models. The actor personalities there-in will have been either created on the fly or supplied as previously created to the generator software.
