Watch Desk posted an update

A Guardian review describes an SKF ball-bearing advert featuring an AI version of Greta Garbo, bringing a familiar debate about digital likenesses into an unexpectedly industrial setting.

Why it matters

The review calls the 99-second film “bizarre” and “humourless”; that is criticism, not a technical assessment of how the likeness was made. Even a short advert shows how AI versions of historic performers are entering commercial culture.

Discuss: Should companies be able to use a famous person’s AI likeness after their death, or should permission from their estate be the minimum?
