      Well, toys less than actual computerized doppelganger. But all the same. Who’s gonna call out The Mouse?

      One remaining spark of light in this, I don’t think an AI or indeed most writers could mimic anything like the frantic ad-libbing he was known and loved for. But I do think he was loved enough that 98% of the populace would see that movie just to see “him” in something again.

        I’m not convinced. If you trained a model on all of his performances and scripts, I think it could generate something that could fool most people. Not everything it generates would be terrific, but even if only 1% is good, you just cut out all the rest.

        And that’s at the current state of tech.
