Not since Ronald Reagan was SAG president have Hollywood writers and performers gone on strike at the same time. We talk with WGA and SAG-AFTRA members about why they're striking now and how the future of the entertainment industry hangs in the balance.
TLDR: AI about to replace writers.
That depends on the consumers really. If they enjoy the average template based content streaming services were pumping out over the last years then sure, but if people want to get back to the more original content, then something needs to change. 3 weeks is just not enough time to write a good story that used to take 6+ months to write.
I think that’s kinda the problem, plug and play content will be super easy to generate, which is what many streaming services seem to be prioritizing (production cost to engagement ratio)
After the amount of capeshit that's been coming out of Hollywood in the past 10 years, this can only be a benefit.
Yeah. It's not like hollywood shits gold or anything.
Most of the crap that comes out of there is... crap. Maybe we'll actually see better content if we replace creators who have no integrity with AI that is conditioned to.
I don't care if chris pratt never gets another gig, lol.
From what I've seen of AI written material, it's spectacularly unimaginative. If an AI can do your job, I don't actually have much sympathy for you.
I low-key wish I had a union to fight for me, to make sure my job doesn't get taken over by ai
I find it very hard to find a new show to watch. There is a certain pinochle to some of my favorite shows. Thus I kinda just rotate what shows I watch. I try watching the serious ones, but the plots are boring and predictable and safe, boo. Every now and then something pops up, schitts creek or what we do in the shadows. But so many shows just miss the mark. Hopefully when that strike is over some truly wonderful stuff come out. You know the writers are brewing up some good stuff.
P.S. I hope they can fix the Magic the gathering story because right now it's very contradictory and aloof.
