Tech 1 over headset : "If they jump ahead in the show flow one more time. I am going to throw a chair from the booth window"

Now I am in a full time position, working with other theatrical designers and professionals, who are actively using AI to assist in designs. I would like to bring up to my higher up the harm in the AI usage and why there needs to be policies in place limiting (if not eliminating) its use.

That's where I need some help, if you work in the arts, especially in theater, please reply with why you believe AI should not be utilized in the workplace on any account (including marketing and management) and any solutions/alternatives you may have to its use

credible articles and papers would be most helpful, however even opinions are helpful in my forming of my argument.

I think with a good enough argument my boss would at least be willing to hear me out about this.

my biggest concern for this conversation is that i am BRAND new to this theater (i havent even held my position for 6 months) so I have no idea how to approach this topic without feeling like I am overstepping, but I would rather bring it up when it is a minor conversation (a designer using AI for details) rather than a much larger one (a designer's design was made entirely by AI)

Now able to start a new show

more free time

no more matinees

cons to finishing a show

🚨UPDATE🚨

Louis’ publicist Simon Jones just had the following press release:

Louis Tomlinson is celebrating today after learning that his Livestream on Saturday night (last night) was the biggest male solo artist live stream of the year. Louis topped all other male solo artists in 2020 globally, which is quite a feat. His streamed concert Live From London has so far sold over 160k tickets globally. Louis thanked his fans saying: “That was incredible. Thank you to everyone that watched. Can’t wait to finally get back on the road”. Louis had to postpone his world tour this year to 2021 due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Press release from Simon Jones PR

This means that Louis’ Livestream raised close to $3 million!
