These celebrities should be making $60,000 to $150,000 like the rest of us anyways. What the hell do they produce

Many actors make that, or much less. The big names put asses in seats though. No one is paying money to watch my loser brother in law pretending to be stranded on an island yelling at volleyballs.

I'd pay $1 to see that.

They would. But still doesn't justify the pay. Many people come together to make films and actors are the least hard working of all of them. They exploited the system just like these AI systems are. Its not something I have sympathy for and if they replace actors with computer generated models and the profession goes back to just a regular job, I feel like we haven't lost anything
