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?

I guess the movie and TV industry has disputes all the time over things like scripts being created from a treatment.
For example, James O'Barr, creator of The Crow, wanted to do a project with a female version of the character. He was inspired by a story of a bride impacted by tragedy. He wrote a pitch to do the movie, but the studio turned it down, although they paid him like $10k for the treatment. He says he was disappointed when he went to see Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill and the movie was pretty obviously based on his treatment. Attorneys were of the opinion that he was paid for the treatment with no guarantee that, if the movie were made, he would be the one who got to make it.
No AI involved there. But what difference would it really make if a human were paid for a treatment that an AI later wrote the script from?
I think there is a certain creative sorrow involved either way, but I don't write in a corporate studio environment, and it seems like that is just the nature of that sort of labor, with or without AI.
