LOS ANGELES - The Hollywood writers' strike broke out this week over pay, but the refusal of studios like Netflix and Disney to rule out artificial intelligence replacing human scribes in the future has only fuelled anger and fear on the picket lines.
But according to the WGA, studios "rejected our proposal," and countered with an offer merely to meet once a year to "discuss advancements in technology." While writers already know this, the danger is that "we have to watch tech companies destroy the business in an attempt to find out for themselves," he said.While few television and film writers who spoke to AFP on the picket lines believe their work could be done by computers, the apparent conviction of studios and streamers that it can has been an extra slap in the face.
"In the next three years, you're going to see a movie that was written by AI made... a good one," said movie producer Todd Lieberman. For Leila Cohan, a 39-year-old writer on Netflix smash hit "Bridgerton," the only usefulness of AI for writers is limited to "busy work" such as coming up with names for characters.
