Who would you want to make decisions for you when you die then?
Comment on ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Used AI For A Dead Voice Actor’s Performance, With Permission
Aielman15@lemmy.world 11 months agoI wouldn’t want my family to make decisions for me after I die, and I think that’s even more true for actors.
“Can we use your grandpa’s voice?”
“No.”
“For fifty bucks?”
“Sure, take it”

Nobody. I died, leave me alone and ask one of the thousand actors out there who are still breathing.

Make a will.

I feel like that question is for you and you alone, and not for actors in general. Personally I don't really see why I would be worried about this after I die (after all, I'm dead ), and if it helps my family a bit then it'd probably just make me rest easier if anything.

I dunno, once you’re dead nothing else really matters anymore, does it? You’re not a person anymore, so why would your opinion matter? If my family can use my legacy to make money for themselves, I would just be happy knowing they’d be a bit better off once I’m gone. And if they choose to protect the right to use my voice/likeness after I’m gone, I’d prefer that they do so because of their own personal beliefs, not because they believe they have to do so for my sake.

It matters to society, in the same way funerary rituals aren’t for the dead, but for the living
