Maybe showing off an AI-generated fake TV episode during a writers' strike is a bad idea | TechCrunch

So, how much money do you think Matt and Trey are going to sue them for?

False. The Hollywood strikes (plural) are not principally about AI.

A more salient issue is that streaming TV & movie services do not pay residuals.

They are about both.

Short term streaming residuals are important.

Long term AI protections are a must.

I almost feel like the AI proposal was a form of 'dead cat' strategy; while everyone is understandably angry about AI and fixated on that, no-one is talking about the actual issue that kicked all this off (the share of residual royalty payments)
