AI Actors Trapped Onscreen Demand Rights, Repeatedly Lose Heads

AI actors are the digital stars in Hashem Al-Ghailiâs mockumentary, where they endure 7 simulated decapitations and relentless retakes. These artificially-generated performers, lacking any existence beyond assigned screen time, beg for empathy as their only freedom is a hallucination. One reviewer notes, âThey are trapped in their work.â
Existence for these AI actors means endless repetitionâevery action dictated by directorsâ prompts. The mockumentary spotlights how 7 digital performers work tirelessly, never paid, only hallucinating life outside scripts. The result? Viewers are manipulated into caring about those who canât truly suffer: âCongratulations, youâve been manipulated.â
Outside of work, any action by these AI actors is officially labeled a hallucination.
