Watch for the news of writers caught using AI.
That’s allowed, no?
Unless I’m mistaken, this was more about writers not wanting the studio to be able to say “we had an ai generated a script. We’ll pay you a day to do a brief editing pass.”
Quoting the linked article:
The contract the Guild secured in September set a historic precedent: It is up to the writers whether and how they use generative AI as a tool to assist and complement—not replace—them. Ultimately, if generative AI is used, the contract stipulates that writers get full credit and compensation.
So, yeah. It’s more about ensuring that a human person in the writers’ guild gets credited as a writer, even if they or someone else uses an ai as a tool in the process.
A century ago, workers in the wool industry rioted against the spinning jenny. In the end, they were defeated. So it will be for the writers et al. The wheel turns. Ride it or get run over.
My first thought when I watched the Halo TV show was that these writers need to get paid more.
That was your first thought watching the Halo show? 😅 I mean… yeah that’s important but uhhhh… I’m not ashamed to admit that wasn’t probably my first thought.
Writers are people, not AI that improves its output quality the more money (hardware) you throw at it. The writers of the Halo TV show should have just been replaced with an entirely new team that actually understood the source.
Translation: “The musicians on the Titanic used their collective bargaining to ensure that they would have fair pay and terms for the foreseeable future. Oh look, a pretty iceberg.”
The idea that the current status quo is going to last even five years is laughable.
That girl got way too much shit on their laptop.
Agreed too much. But are you sure it’s a girl?! Lol edit these days it might be a trap 😆
But are you sure it’s a girl?

I just take a best guess at it and take my shot.
