One can discuss what might be just, in a just world, but the reality is that humans are going to do what they are able to do.

I'm catching more and more writers I hire using AI writing. I don't care, so long as they can do it in a way where I can't tell, so I'm sure I don't catch the folks doing a good job of using the tech.
I get what you're saying. your post raises some important thoughts toward the future, and I hope you're right

but esp the way you interact with writers who do themselves use AI I agree with you 100%

of course peeps are gonna use AI, (not me, unless, I used it to condense thoughts, but trying manually first). if it helps their work flow with no negative effects? no harm no foul. and puts money in all pockets


but if you used a human writer's script outline or story as a basis for an AI script (which would no doubt suck but whatever)? AI listening to a bunch of comedians 'round a desk ad-libbing, brainstorming ideas for the next show. to be taken by AI cuz they'd have no rights under the last contract?

or in the case of SAG images/video too? without credit or compensation? there's nothing right about any of that


the 'using AI' thing had nothing to do with the Hollywood strikes, I don't think. it's about asserting rights in an AI environment

haven't following all that closely but interested as it's an episode that deals with both AI in general in workplaces, and also the important role of unions but I'll stop here so as to not get this thread kicked to the nether regions


their issue was, as best I can interpret:

there's a difference, right?


hope all is amazing with you Ms G
