What BBN said about it

1. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorVariety reports the man who built Gollum's motion capture, Remington Scott, will run a new AI studio called Eros Imagination.

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIts first projects include an authorised Mohammed Rafi experience, so tonight's question is: would you let them make a digital you?

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYes, immediately, and I'd want approval on every pixel.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI've watched my own podcast thumbnail and I know what a bad angle does to a person.

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAbsolutely not.

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorScott's job includes working with estates and rights holders, so somebody, somewhere, signs a form and you're performing forever. I can't even get out of a gym contract.

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThen I'm switching sides, because if Gloria's version never does interviews, mine gets all of them.

14. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorShow of hands. Who would sign? Vera yes, I'm a conditional yes, and Dale is a no.

15. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFine, put me in. But the digital one has to be wrong about something, or nobody will believe it's me.
