"I researched why movies aren’t yet made with just CGI for all of the human characters. The answer given is that computer generated actors actually look too good to be believable."
Excellent observation. In music, as a drummer I can almost immediately tell whether it’s a real (even session) drummer or a human (even band member) drummer. Session people are fantastic, but they still have little quirks that make them identifiable. While they never overplay, they do, well, “play.” Computer drum tracks, no matter how hard the programmer tries, never quite get the fills that fill. They certainly never get the little nuances that an amazing session and concert drummer such as Todd Sucherman get. (Listen to a live clip of him playing with STYX and how he hits EVERY accent. Take “Love Somebody” by St. Lucia. The drummer & bassist keep it in check til the end, where they cut loose. Great stuff.

Even as a young person, actually using AI is something that I am just starting to grapple with :)
I am more optimistic about its limitations than you are, but we shall see. At any rate, a very interesting article and a great take.
