WGA negotiators claim they're happy with the deal. I'm as confused as you seem to be.
WGA negotiators want to be called heros (and continue being paid to be negotiators), so of course they'll say they won even if they didn't.
It doesn't work like that. They have to negotiate a deal that the members will vote for.
Negotiators: We won!
Members: Oh thank you, we were worried, we really need this over.
Someone who reads the fine print: Uh, this is terrible.
Large enough percentage of Members: Hey didn't you hear them it's over quit nitpicking!
So you think most of the writers are not readers and are stupid?
I think writers need this to be over so they can get back to work. This isn't just fun summer break going on here, peoples lives are being put on hold. Doesn't mean it's a good deal though.
They can't "get back to work" if AI is taking their work. I think they're aware of that. But maybe they're all idiots.
If AI is taking their work, how is this a good deal then? I genuinely can't tell if you're in support here or not.
It's not a good deal. That's my point. That's why I don't know why the writers would vote for it.
So when they inevitably do, will you crown me and say kind words about my prowess in predicting the future? Or maybe just recognize that the writers simply want this over...
If I turn out to be wrong, would me saying "guess I was wrong" not be enough for you? I have to bow and scrape at your feet? Really? Because if that's what you expect me to do, you can go get fucked.
Likely what happened is writers are seeing what a mess AI generated art is, so they're letting the industry to have this as it might end up in a quite bad for them.
So won’t this be rejected?
