AI has to train on writers works. That's the issue. You can't use the writer's voices. AI simply can't train itself to write. To me it's no different than using an actors likeness. If you use a writers voice to produce a script? That writer should be compensated. There is already a lawsuit on this.
Customer service might be the only safe place...lolIt’s coming for everyone:
Indian AI Anchorwoman ‘Lisa’ Introduces Herself To Viewers On Odisha TV
India Today also has an AI female presenter in one of its primetime slots.deadline.com
It’s already come from laborers in manufacturing, fast food restaurants, 800-call operators, etc, etc. if you think your job is safe, in time, it won’t be.
If you need a place to stay, I have a room in Colorado

When I was working customer service, and I have a distinctive voice, first thing people would ask, is this a real human? LOL! People hate these computer generated/AI robot help phone systems.
AI will get to the point where it takes a collection of multiple people and uses a hybrid style. How do you monetize that properly? It won’t shock me if one day each of the big players have a quantum computer that doesn’t need any input it just pulls from everything. AI is a scary thing with unlimited possibilities. This is literally the black mirror episode from this past season.
Also, Shehulk had a satirized ending where the Studio was run by an AI machine. Interesting twist on replacing studio heads with AI!
The same argument was made when streaming came along. Now artists are getting parts of "plays". The key here is figuring out a way the technology can co-exists while making sure that artists get their due. AI is scary in many industries. Not just this one. AI is going to replace a bunch of jobs. However, I also hope that means a need for more types of jobs in the AI industry. Unfortunatly, people are going to have to adjust just like they did in every major change (farming, industrial etc.). It's a scary prospect.
To your point CNBC had someone on last week speaking of the strike and AI. The basic point was technology has disrupted jobs since the revolution. There has never been a case where a disruption of jobs had led to less jobs just people moving to different careers. The same will be true here jobs will not be lost just those specific positions will be.
It's just the problem of not being able to envision what those new jobs will be yet. That makes it scary. If we could "see" the new jobs coming and what they will be, it would be less scary.
So these malware, viruses, etc., will that make AI more of a good tool, or a bad tool for humanity? I always think the worst in these situations.
I would venture that since most of the AI we will be seeing soonest will be utilized by large corporate interests to cut labor expenses, in turn the wealthy corporations themselves will be the targets of (very likely) basic criminals, anti-corporate, and anti big-tech hackers. I am certain none of them will be acting to assist those promoting AI.
The only movies that will get approval are the ones the guild determine to be “truly independent.” That means they can’t be affiliated with any of the struck studios, or have a distribution deal, or financing from a major or mini-major.
Makes sense.
What makes it more infuriating, is a lot of what the Actors and Writers are asking for would be a write off for the studios. It would reduce net profits and would mean less taxes to the government. I read a long time ago in Forbes about how studio accounting is fuzzy so they can say a movie isn't making money, when it is, so they don't have to pay royalties to actors, writers, etc.
I was curious on this too and did a little reading last night. In addition to the truly independent part I read that they also have to agree to retroactively apply what ever the out come of the strike is to the production time during the strike.
Lame.
