    Assuming every actor gets paid millions is no different than assuming every person who works downtown is a CEO.

    AI is not going to replace the CEOs or the A-list actors. It’s going to replace the forgettable workers at the bottom of the staircase, the ones people don’t even bother to imagine, so they can pay the A-listers extra. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer. That’s how this economy works, always has.

      Yes, my bad for saying “actor” when I meant “hollywood star” like in the original comment.

        I hear you, and I’m not criticizing you, I’m just pointing out that the hollywood stars aren’t the ones we need to worry about, the whole premise is invalid. Hollywood stars will be fine, of course. It’s everyone else who won’t be.
