I’ll say I am a fan of “generative fill” in photoshop at least for routine things like adding an extra row of bricks to a wall or making a dust spot go away.

It's a weird article because it starts with reporting and then slides into the author's personal view that he disagrees with the letter.

This does highlight that it's always a vocal minority with an agenda that sets the agenda for regulation, and it's rarely designed with majority interests in mind.

Depends on what you call the majority.

Studio's want to keep shot footage that can be used for AI and not compensate actors for subsequent usage. That's a competitive advantage and saving costs that could (in theory) be passed down to the consumers. I think media consumers outnumber actors by quite a lot.

Worse than that at least one person has signed the letter twice and most are pseudonyms!
