Seems like the kind of thing that should lead to lawsuits and potentially criminal charges. Not that anyone would actually try to do something about this or most other problems facing consumers.
If this became a trend it would probably just push the studios to be that much more focused on big franchises where the director is just doing a job for hire. And of course, their long term goal of being able to replace as many people as possible with AI, just as soon as the slop it churns out is good enough sell tickets.
