Because truly artificial faces always suffered from the uncanny valley. May or may not be the case now, but the human brain has always been wired in a way to only ever accept real faces, and also visualise them: every face you see when dreaming is a face you saw at some point, we can't mentally fabricate faces.
That's fair. I was thinking more about a synthetic "actor" rather than every piece having no real world basis. Being able to fake the delivery is the important part. If you get that far, there's no shortage of people who would offer up face or voice samples for a few bucks.
I'm sure they've already started accumulating real face assets to use for crowds and background extras.

If that's the problem, then just hire a bunch of people who aren't in SAG to model for AI actors.
