AI animation has become stunningly lifelike so would you care if AI replaced real actors?
Is AI dangerous and out of control or will it bring "an age of abundance" as Elon Musk claims?
It's Phillip, here - plenty of Speak Your Brains are mine, recently. Someone else's idea, if it comes, should therefore have priority. Nevertheless, here goes...
What favourite sites/destinations of interest spring to mind? Can you name a few?
Here's a few of mine...
1.) One a school trip to Germany, I stayed at a village/hamlet called Mariaroth (?) In the distance, amongst dense forest, an interesting radio mast/transmitter was visible:

2.) The St.Nicolas tower, at La Rochelle, when viewed from a particular angle ( that isn't on the internet!) resembles Pontefract castle's keep, as painted by Dutch artist, Keirincx!
3.) Middleham castle ( interesting Anne Neville/Richard III ruins, amidst rolling N Yorkshire countryside):

4.) On my childhood Malta holidays, in the old citadel of Rabat, which was always intensely quiet and still, there was a bookshop, where I picked up The Gods of Bhal-Sagoth ( R.E. Howard), plus anthology, 'Best Sci-fi Six', and some Frederik Pohl sci-fi books. This great bookshop, in an atmospheric location, was called the Meli bookshop (run by the Meli brothers! )
5.) Malta holidays over, returning to the airport, at the roadside, a picturesque, neo-gothic chapel peeped out of some greenery. I always wondered what it was. The internet obliges:

WHAT ARE SOME INTERESTING SPOTS THAT STICK IN YOUR MEMORIES?

Sorry, Colin - I pressed 'publish' before checking for other people's posts. Please ignore mine, folks, as I've done lots of these. Give the floor to Colin!

As regards actors, it's a funny old game. You get to know particular actors, sometimes associating them with childhood, then enjoy watching them, because they evoke better days. With all actors, however, a first watch/performance must "grab" you, or you wouldn't look forward to watching them again.
AI actors being sufficiently sophisticated, the same audience reaction could be elicited. It's certainly true of cartoon characters, like Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, The Space Sentinels, or 60s Spidey - so why not AI? A chilling prospect! There's Tilly Norwood already.
