It might just make a few actors super-successful, though. The switch to 'virtual musicians' (ie tapes, records, CDs, streaming) didn't kill the job, it just led to superstar dynamics. Why license an obscure actor when for a few bucks more you can license Tom Cruise v11.9?
In the near future we can finally have realistic CGI for entire movies. At this point, we can remove the actor job and reduce the Hollywood prominence by making it cheap to make movies that look good. After that, we move to entire movies made by AI. On the spot. Infinite supply.pic.twitter.com/6G3HUwVBsN

You produce a new TV show. If the star is a real person he might be able to extract large future rents if the show proves very profitable. Hard to write contract to stop star from cashing in on your future success.

What's hard about writing a contract for some software? People do that all the time. Doesn't stop, say, Vocaloid. Or CDs being sold, for that matter.

No need to use Tom cruises replica. Just generate new characters in the same way you generate waifus.

But then they aren't Tom Cruise™.

Not the first time someone made that comparison. Especially when I had similar hair as he does in LOTR.
