Bruce Willis Sold His Likeness To A Deepfake Company

September 30, 2022 / Posted by:

Turns out we bid farewell to Bruce Willis’ career prematurely. According to ITV, Bruce has bravely gone where no A-list star has gone before and sold his likeness in perpetuity to an AI marketing company/”talent agency” called Deepcake, for use in “brand endorsement videos,” film, and television. Unfortunately for Bruce and for the integrity of humanity on the whole, Deepcake has the power not only to put Bruce in Russian phone service ads as they’ve already done, but they can also make their AI Bruce do anything they want. That means, sometime in the near or distant future, we might just get that hard-core, XXX Moonlighting reboot some sicko out there has probably been clamoring for, only instead of Cybill Shepherd, Maddie Hayes will be played by Marilyn Monroe, and Kevin Hart’s in it as some kind of DraftKings branded sex dwarf.

Earlier this year Bruce, or persons purporting to represent Bruce, announced that he was retiring from acting due to having been diagnosed with aphasia, a degenerative condition that robs one of the ability to “speak, write and understand language, both verbal and written.” This explained why he spent the past few years cranking out one turkey after another, most frequently working with slimy meatball producer Randall Emmitt. However, as it turns out, Bruce, or a digitally rendered monstrosity purporting to be Bruce, has actually done the opposite of retire and has his eyes, or deep fake AI apertures purporting to be his eyes, set on a future where “comics like Charlie Chaplin and Kevin Hart can interact in one frame” and presumably fuck. via ITV:

Die Hard actor Bruce Willis has become the first Hollywood star to sell his image rights to a technology company, which specialises in creating movies through artificial intelligence (AI).

The deal means the firm, Deepcake, can now use both his moving and talking image within films and TV productions.

It comes after the 67-year-old announced his retirement from acting in March, after being diagnosed with aphasia, which affects a person’s speech and language.

Deepcake has targeted becoming the world’s largest talent agency, bringing actors both living and dead back to the big screen. It’s CEO Maria Chmir has said discussions are underway to strike similar deals with film studios and the estates of dead stars.

She said: “We create digital twins of celebrities and the actual production process doesn’t require the physical presence of a celebrity on stage.

Deepcake is very excited about signing their first client and they’re already using Bruce’s likeness to lure other celebrities, or estates purporting to preserve the legacy of deceased celebrities, into exchanging their mortal souls for a quick buck. ITC adds “late Hollywood stars, such as Marilyn Monroe, could make a return to film; busy stars could take part in multiple projects at the same time or actors could extend their careers for many years.” Here’s Deepcake’s deep fake Bruce’s sizzle “real?

Very sweet and normal way for Bruce to meet his future grandchildren. Bruce has nothing but great things to say about his experience “working” with Deepcake. via The Telegragh:

“I liked the precision with which my character turned out. It’s a mini-movie in my usual action-comedy genre. For me, it is a great opportunity to go back in time. With the advent of modern technology, even when I was on another continent, I was able to communicate, work and participate in the filming. It’s a very new and interesting experience, and I thank our entire team.”

OK, either I’m losing my grasp on reality or Bruce’s Deepcake deep-fake has finally ushered in The Singularity. That’s a pretty coherent statement for somebody with rapidly advancing aphasia. Has Bruce’s consciousness, or a consciousness purporting to be Bruce’s, already been uploaded to the cloud and is sending out press releases? This is some Schrödinger’s Action Star bullshit right here, and I do not like where this is going one bit. Just hire @DoubleDeBruce, you cowards!

See — Fashion! Cute! Nice! I’d like to see Deepcake Bruce try that, but I’m afraid he doesn’t have the range.
