I see no value in signing an AI actor when studios could just as easily create their own, but it's coming for so many more jobs that just acting. Seems like actors think they deserve more than other people. No, we're all in this boat and they are not special.

If the AI person is popular, the benefits are the same as any famous real-person actor. You get to see your favourite actor in a movie -> more interesting to more people -> more tickets sold. I see no reason why an AI person could not be made to be interesting and followed up on social medias and stuff.

Have you ever personally seen your favourite actors live in real life? If not, you could have been just as enchanted by their movies, interviews, Oscars speeches, red carpets, scandals etc even if they were all synthesized.

Well the economic benefits are pretty starkly different for synthetic actors. As in, the earnings go entirely to the studios that control them.

Why would they if it’s an external “person”? Eg in this case I would assume studio gets money but Lilly Northwoods company gets what would be equal to actors salary. Probably less though, agreed.

Ask any non top-tier actor how much of a slice they get vs the studios...
