I can’t wait to see the all-AI content the studio heads come up with and think we’ll watch so they don’t have to pay writers and actors.
The sad part is, people probably will watch it- the first time, for the novelty. But they won’t watch it for long.
There is a Disney show that is already using AI for their intro scene. Is rather boring
Is it Secret Invasion? That intro has a very AI feel.
yeah, exactly https://youtu.be/zm3GtYvXasQ Is not even a complicated type of AI, just some prompting and blending in After Effects, Id expect this from a student film not Disney
Soon after Hollywood can make it, people will be able to make it themselves for free using their own computer.

I thought this about “reality” TV back in the day, but people still watch that trash.
What are the issues that they want resolved? The article never mentions this.
Both SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) are demanding increases in base pay and residuals in the streaming TV era plus assurances that their work will not be replaced by artificial intelligence (AI).
This is a document from the WGA strike, demands.

Hollywood execs want to keep producing $200M trash films based on recognizable IP. The long term plan is likely to shift to AI for writing and eventually even simulated acting performances. A new Marvel movie starring CGI Frank Sinatra or whatever. If the creatives don’t make a stand now, they’re going to get steamrolled in the near future.
