Animal Actors Can't Get Work

Rocco, a Saint Bernard/Boxer who is a celebrated canine movie actor, can't get a gig.

Karin McElhatton, owner of Studio Animal Services, which has provided animals to projects like Ghostbusters, LA Confidential, and CSI-Miami, says, "We fear that real animals will be replaced by generated AI ones in films, TV shows, and commercial ads."

Gone are the days of Lassie and Rin Tin Tin. Even horses, which were and are used in many films and TV Shows, are under threat of AI replacement.

Perhaps real animals do add authenticity, but I feel that  AI-generated animals will be used in all forms of entertainment and promotion.
