…which of course, is the entire point of the strike. The writers can’t allow this to happen because, and I’m not being hyperbolic here, if they do, it will destroy the film and television industry as we know it. As I posted in the other thread:
This isn’t really about “Artificial Intelligence” at all. This isn’t really “AI.” Its the “classic techbro” mania for non-stop growth. The modern era of robber barons, of unrestrained capitalism.
When somebody said earlier in the thread that “the proper solution is to force people to suck it up” this is what "sucking it up looks like. This is the endgame. “Scrubbing dialogue” and “massaging prompts.”
SPOILER warning for “The Leftovers”. CW Suicide.
There are things that an AI will never be able to do. The showrunner for the Leftovers talks about a pivotal decision that was made in the writer’s room that almost entirely came down to what the actress bought to the table. No amount of “writing prompts” will ever replace what happened in that writer’s room that day.
