2 years is wishful thinking. There is enough space in entertainment for AI actors and human actors. That being said, I think AI actors will dominate here.
The average movie watcher is already a fan of a fake image of entertainers whether they are on screen or not. AI isn't replacing your best friend, it's replacing someone you have never met and will probably never see in person anyway. Actors will have to start building deeper connections with their fans if they plan to stick around.
