My point was that we already have bullet point 2.

Bullet point 1 probably isn't too far off.

No we don't! Not even close.
That article is about creating fake faces. That's all.
Being able to create a virtual actor that can somehow generate a compelling performance from a script, or which can even be programmed to create a compelling performance, is orders of magnitude more difficult, and far beyond anything we can currently do.
Movies without celebrities have been made for quite some time already.

The person I was replying to was clearly taking about the case of replacing them with AI-created actors.
Being able to mimic particular people is quite different to being able to:
- make the AI act in a compelling way in a new movie (e.g. getting the emotion and delivery right for a particular scene)
- create a compelling actor from scratch.
