So I was having a conversion with a buddy recently and we were talking about the LOL: Arcane and their crossplatform efforts which led into the topic of virtual celebrities and I think we might be on the cusp of this being a real thing. You already see the level of CGI and greenscreen in movies these days so it wouldn't be a stretch for someone to make a new person and patent them as an IP and sell them into what ever property comes up. Such as the fortnite thing with League
Literally fake people.
There was a movie about this a few years back, I never watched it even though I found the premise interesting.
What actually made me think about this recently was the LOL: Arcane show, and what they were kind of talking about with the characters and how they made this fake K-Pop band that apparently is crushing it in record sales.
So what about you guys do you think a computer generated IP person could be the next big movie star? Could this change entertainment from video games to pretty much everything where one could simply license out X-figure. Is there still too much of an uncanny valley that we'll never get past or will this be the future of entertainment. Think about it from a production side, a figure that can never get sick, can never get hurt, can perform any crazy action/stunt, never ages, or can age infinitely, can work on multiple projects at once, there is a world of versatility that has never been opened before with this.
Imagine if Riot made Jinx an IP that could be hired of any number of situations as an example.
