AI Companies Hire Actors to Provide Emotional Nuance for Avatars Amid Actors' Strike

AI companies like Meta and Character.AI are hiring actors for $150/hr to provide emotions for avatars.

Actors are needed to convincingly portray emotions that AI bots can't emulate.

London's Realeyes works with over 200 companies on services like ad testing and fraud detection.

Realeyes is hiring actors for a studio shoot to express emotions based on prompts.

The timing coincides with an actors' strike, concerning some that AI may replace them.
