Here's what will happen: Eventually, more and more entertainment will be animated, and more and more "celebrities" will be artificial. The celebrities are forcing this to happen. After all, who cares about today's "stars?" They are all steadily working themselves into oblivion anyway, what with all their political talk and general misbehavior. People used to look up to them, but no longer. With today's ever-improving animation, making credible, photo-realistic "actors" will be doable. You won't be able to tell that it's animated. Then, just add a voice and a "personality" (using AI, of course), make a movie starring this new creation, and if it's a hit, BOOM now you've got a new celebrity that can be marketed for eternity without ever growing old. It's like Bugs Bunny, but with imitation people that aren't distinguishable from real humans.
I'm like Frank. I think this kind of future looks horrible, but it's probably going to go down something like the above. I mean, how you gonna stop it? Certainly not by going on strike.
