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?

They say pretty clearly in their Twatter post that they are not the IP holders and the episode is for research only, so I seriously doubt Trey and Matt will care.

Likely worst case they get a cease and desist to take it down, so they do.

We think the timing is correct — we are right in the middle of the biggest strike in 60 years, by releasing the research (but not the ability for anyone to create episodes of protected IP) we hope [for] the Guilds in Hollywood to negotiate strong, strong, strong protections that producers cannot use AI tools without the express permission of artists. Frankly the IP holders also need to figure out how to negotiate with AI chatbot companies who are profiting from their work.

And what's the problem here? They aren't trying to profit off this tech here, they're building a stronger case for the strike. Did the writers of this article read their source material?

They probably had ChatGPT make a summary of it
