This headline reminds me of a great movie made on this exact subject:
S1m0ne ("Simone", or "Simulation One") https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258153

Basically that's the movie Simone

This is a good point to reference the Al Pacino movie S1m0ne (2002). (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258153/)
Remember S1m0ne (2002)?

I love living in an age where old scifi movies/plots that most people thought would never actually happen, actually start to happen.
I'm thinking specifically of 2002's S1M0NE[0].
I can't wait for this future.

This is directly form the movie "S1m0ne". What an uninspired artist :(
This idea has been explored at least a few times in movies:
S1m0ne (2002) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258153/
Check the movie S1m0ne :) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258153/
Have you seen the movie S1m0ne (2002)? I felt that it only scratched the surface of the topic (and the tech wasn't exactly at today's level), but it's otherwise pretty good.
I'm truly amazed also, I'm not surprised or shocked. Once I knew that the previous master was beaten, I knew it's just a matter of time to see the #1 player topped.
What would be shocking is to find out that a famous writer, musician or scientist is in fact, just an alias for an advanced AI system :) It needs a little trick, because people should be tricked into believing that there's a real person behind the name.
Oh wait, I just remembered that there's a (mediocre) movie made on the subject: S1m0ne ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258153/ )
Are you saying it won't happen? Think of the guys saying the same of go :)
I wasn't expecting an anime character, but more something like in the movie S1m0ne (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258153/).
In that movie, the movie/pop star is computer generated but is a "real" person and there actually is a scene with a 3D hologram of her on stage.
As someone else mentioned, though I find that to be fascinating, I'm more interested in what they mean exactly by "3D hologram" and how it works.
His other other movie, Lord of War, was also pretty good. It does involve entrepreneurship. The Terminal, his other other other movie, was ok, but no hacking. I haven't seen his other other other other movie, S1m0ne.
