Arrr, matey! The scallywags of the California Senate be passin’ a decree that ye must seek a ghostly nod from the dearly departed before ye conjure their likeness with that sorcerous contraption called AI! Blimey, what will they think of next? Ghosts givin’ permission! A fine jolly jest!
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round, fer the fine folk of California be makin' waves in the realm of fanciful phantoms! The state Senate has raised the sails on AB 1836, a mighty law demandin' that any scallywag wishin' to conjure up the digital visage of a dearly departed thespian must first secure the blessing of their estate. Aye, that be right! The governor be likely t' sign this treasure into law, with the bold crew of SAG-AFTRA supportin' the cause!This law covers all manner of digital trickery—be it still portraits, voice imitations, or full-blown characters in films long past their time. No longer can filmmakers just plunder the likeness of the dead without askin' the proper permission first! Just after, they passed AB 2602, which tightens the ropes on livin' performers too, heraldin' a new era of respect for both the livin' and the dearly departed on the silver screen.
SAG-AFTRA be celebratin' this victory, proclaimin' it a grand stride towards safeguardin' talent in the age of artificial trickery! They even be settin' up new partnerships to ensure voices be used rightly. With these laws, California could set sail on a course that other states might follow, creatin' a grand treasure map of regulations in the world of entertainment! Yarrr, let the consent be mandatory, or walk the plank ye shall! Arrr!
