The Weibo topic "AI Actors Below Male Second" topped the hot search list, triggering extensive discussions among netizens. This phenomenon reflects that artificial intelligence technology is deeply penetrating into the film and television industry and has an impact on the traditional performing arts ecology.Well-known screenwriter Yu Zheng responded to this in a post on social platforms. He said that AI may be a temporary trend, but real-life performances and the audience's similar emotional needs cannot be replaced. He admitted that he was also experimenting with AI drama series, but believed that this technology would only eliminate people without talent.

According to Yu Zheng, capable actors, screenwriters and directors need not worry about this. Although AI technology is developing rapidly, the core of creation still lies in human thoughts and emotions. This is an area that digital algorithms cannot fully reproduce.

With the advancement of AI technology, AI actors are gradually entering the public eye. Using digital generation technology, producers can create various digital images and let them star in short plays, and even complete some special roles or difficult actions that are difficult for real actors to challenge.
Industry insiders point out that AI actors, as a novelty, are reshaping the traditional film and television production process. It is particularly outstanding in cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and can significantly shorten the production cycle and reduce labor costs.
However, the limitations of AI actors are also very obvious. Although the pictures are exquisite and full of novelty, digital models often have difficulty conveying the emotional depth and life temperature unique to real actors, and lack a direct appeal to people's hearts.
Once the audience realizes that they are facing an AI image, it is often difficult to be as emotionally invested as they are with real actors. Even if the voices and faces of AI actors can be difficult to distinguish between real and fake, there is still a fundamental difference in artistic soul compared with works performed by real people.
This game between technology and art has also prompted the industry to rethink the core competitiveness of actors. In the AI era, how to take advantage of technology while retaining the humanistic care of creation will become an important issue for the future development of the film and television industry.
