Wait A Minute...

If during the strike, it's announced about AI generated shows. We are not watching them. Not even out of curiosity. Let them fail every AI generated show they try make.

The studios can't make an "AI-Written" show without a human writer. This isn't because Chat-GPT isn't ready for a Sunday school play much less Prime Time, though that is true. This is because AI-generated content is public domain until modified, and under the US Copyright Office's current standards, modified very substantially.

Modifying raw output sufficiently to be copyrightable would require a writer, and the writers are on strike, so somebody's crossing that picket line if they do that. Without that kind of heavy rewriting, the studios wouldn't own the scripts of the material they were putting out, and their entire business model is built on IP monopolies even when such monopoly isn't required for their success.

The studios are going to threaten both the workers and the audiences with AI-generated scripts, but that threat has no teeth, because they were already planning it and that's a big part of why the strike happened.

The studios have dreams of AI-genned scripts being rewritten for pennies by temporary contract writers. This isn't a new impulse. Reality TV was a prototype, the constant farming of social media for unpaid content is another.

Self Care Tips From Tumblr: When you feel like everyone hates you, sleep. When you feel like you hate everyone, eat. When you feel like you hate yourself, shower. Someone out there feels better because you exist. 

This was how homestuck ended, right?
