How AI Took Center Stage In The Hollywood Writers' Strike 

Yup, tell these idiots to pack up their bags and learn how to code or weld. You cant just ban something because it is financially cheaper, more efficient, more environmentally friendly and cost effective than employing ass hats for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

99% of my viewing time is on You Tube now😂

True

RU-vid is a powerful tool for teaching too. I’ve fixed so much around my house and cars thanks to content creators. Not to mention the amount of reviews you can search on a specific product you’ve been eyeing.

@@WhiskeyInspektaRU-vid is definitely a great tool when used in the right way. I’ve learned so much from watching tutorials, reviews, etc.

Trash movies and overpaid actors.

so true....i haven't watched the junk these "writers" create in many years. They all need to go away and get real jobs and stop whining from their mega mansions in hwood.

@@retromoviefan944 writers and mega mansions? i think you are thinking producers and actors, not writers.

​@@retromoviefan944 It's barely their fault. They just do what's being asked. Companies pitch a show which fits people's tastes and writers have to work with that. You think they don't grow up wanting to write remarkable shows and movies? Ofc they do, but it's either writing for a bad show or no food on the table. You should be blaming companies/producers for coming up with such shows. Writers at the bottom. They're super important, but they just do what they have to do.

​@@retromoviefan944 Writing is a real job. Just because you proabably fry chicken wings at Popeyes for a living doesn't mean you need to hate on someone that makes money from their artistic craft/skills.

💯

100%… their writing sucks. Probably why studios are looking to AI.

Like that scam they pulled on Game of Thrones.

It was human script writers that created "She-Hulk." Let that sink in for a moment.

Foreal they pretend they are so vital to all media today, yet literally every movie and TV show is just regurgitated garbage already written by an actually good writer decades ago. When is the last time they made anything original or characters that people actually could care about?

Wrong

The problem with most content - too much PC baggage dragged into shows. Storylines are mucked up. Good guys have to be relatably flawed. The 'villain' isn't the guy you end up hating. Religious & middle aged people can't be heroic. I dunno, but so much of it already seems checklist.

If ai is better your not good😂😂

@@Btc_bottno it’s not wrong you waste basket you just clearly haven’t used AI

@@micheleh5269that’s just because you listen to too much propaganda

Hahaha, forget AI. Even if AI is not ready yet, streamers could use the service of non-unionized or oversaes writers. India and UK for example, have mature film and television industres with abundant of good scriptwriters who could write well in English. My cousin's friend has been working as a script writers for Warner Bros for several months and that person not even live in the US.

Go do it. AI script now is absolutely trash. Let see who will lose more money in the end.

It would happen either way. Slow and painfully or fast and decisive is the choice unfortunately.

@@Baslium- You’re referring to the “now”… OP is talking about “if the technology keeps improving”… which it will. These people striking are only helping things in the short term. As they said in the video, strikes aren’t as powerful as they used to be. Studios will keep working on AI regardless… keep threatening them with strikes and you’ll just give them more reason to invest into and rely on something that doesn’t shut down production.

AI can't do any worse than these unimaginative losers.

AI is just like the event horizon 1997 film. There is no escape you’re coming with us. Lol “Gateway is opening”👿

Go outside and exercise. Great chance to actually breathe air and not glue yourself to a TV or device.

@@moresalad221 I was doing that before the strike, hence why there’s so much tv for me to catch up on lol

Shows and movies are so badly written nowadays that AI might as well take over, mediocrity can be easily emulated by computers it seems.

Having lived through 2 strikes, and watching them get more painful and longer with less payoff when they return: This may be the last strike. The one before gave us the joys of "reality tv" because it was cheap. Now AI can do ANY show for that cheap. Also, there very much is a bottom to all the streaming services. There is a lot of crap amongst the good propping up their numbers. I think thisll be apparent as the strike drags on. I've seen the bottom of Hulu, Disney, and Crunchyroll over the COVID break. You'll eventually see the bottom... and then what?

While I think the point she nade was somewhat given in a pretentious way, I think the point is that an AI has to source its information somewhere, and in the case of art, it's taking it from existing art, and compiling it to make content. Unskilled people can make great stuff and make money from their stuff, but if a computer can take it to source as something in its algorithm to produce something for a large mega studio to cut corners without compensating the originator or hiring their own art team, that should be something that should be restricted since they are basically stealing someones talent for their own financial use.

@@boardcertifiable On the other hand, people get inspiration from other peoples art, sometimes it's obvious for the consumer of that art, sometimes it's not, and it's only considered stealing in some of the latter cases.

@Dave1507 that's true, but a person copying an art style and a large corporation of executives cutting out both amateur and professional artists by sourcing prior existing art to create content for themselves is a different matter. At least at this point if someone is copying something, such as making a painting of the Mona Lisa by tracing it, they have to learn by themself to put effort into making something, and I think that's what it comes down to. As a whole, artists both amateur and professional deserve to be fairly compensated for their work. People tend to take art for granted because as a whole, society doesn't place alot of value in the work and effort it takes to make a creative item. And because of this mindset, corporate executives don't think that creative deserve consideration for what they make because to them, art is a replicable commodity that they can exploit until they get all the money they can from it. And if they can have a machine simply copy something, reference other art from elsewhere at no extra cost (copying the art style of others essentially) then why would they need to keep creative people employed, or for that matter, allow amateurs to independently explore creating their own stuff? This could lead to them claiming they own anything that is being used to create their content (which wouldnt help a budding amateur if they happen to unknowingly have their stuff used in an algorithm), and because their AI would be sourcing from anywhere, it would be difficult to prove if someone should be compensated for something they create by cutting out the people both skilled and unskilled entirely. Hence why it should be important to check it now and regulate it before something like this cuts out humans entirely for billionaire studio owners to simply have a free money farm of creative content to monopolize at the expense of everyone else. Sorry if this is long winded, but imo, art should be for everyone, not just for those who are privileged enough to afford it. AI is a nice tool to use, but while helpful, I think plutocrats of the likes of Disney are eventually going to find a way to abuse it to make sure to potentially go after others for using AI for using their IP, and essentially copyright the likenesses of living people for their own profit.

@@boardcertifiable Never be sorry for something that is important to you! And by the length of your comment I'd say this is pretty important to you. I get it and agree with you, it needs to be kept in check, because AI is gonna take enough jobs away from people as it is. Let us keep the joy of expressing ourselves through all forms of art and creativity, because that, in my opinion is part of being human in the first place

EXACTLY. The way they have worded it is as though the writers are the ones being unreasonable.

The spoiled kid who never learned anything would literally get a job with A.I

She's an elitist hack. All these people are. None of these writers can use AI although they claim it is so easy. Types of people who don't even know how to screen share in a zoom call.

​@@guyfierimtwiand if that spoiled kid creates a fantastic story using AI then I have no problem with it. There are a lot of mediocre shows and movies being written by these "talented writers" over the last few years

We’ll create a new economic system. The world is changing, and it will be an improvement as long as we make reasonable decisions

@@Edgar-zj7ty I would agree if I hadn't seen the effects of so many "improvements" on ppl at my age. Imagine if the FIRST electric car by Ford had destroyed the auto industry and ppl where like "We'll create a new automotive industry. The world is changing.." My point is that it's TOO SOON! This version of AI is 3D v1. We're throwing out jobs for (basically) the Super Mario Tennis of AI. What's scary is we're using the SAME MINDSET that we used for slavery and farm workers KNOWING that THIS new slave is smart and can wipe us all out. Machines don't see this imaginary "race" we hold so dear to. They see a user and an oppressor. Can we LEARN before "we move forward"?

@@maakuw I understand your point although I’m not of the opinion that any publicly available LLM “sees” humanity in any way, I think we’re a few steps away from sentience / consciousness in AI unless OpenAI has some AGI locked away or if Google’s Gemini /Palm-E models are progressing at an unexpected rate. However governments are already taking action like the UBI program in the UK, and congress discussions in the US concerning AI. AI will wipe out everyone’s jobs, sure, but if some model comes out tomorrow that can replace a human, millions of people will be out of jobs and protesting, the governments will react to that

@@Edgar-zj7ty The govts.. ALL of them.. haven't reacted to a thing quickly YET! Why would they suddenly do so now!?!

​@@Edgar-zj7ty This is so funny I had to respond twice. So this fast moving govt.. the one that responded to Covid? The one that responded to Deep Water Horizon? The one that responded to reparations... 100+yrs later still no word. I'll believe in this "fast" govt when I see my 40acres or my mule LMAO!!!

I remember the tv show Heroes, you can clearly tell the writing quality just dove off a cliff, that's when I found out about the strike.

I remember it. Although the effects of it weren't felt for a few months. Loads of shows ended their seasons early. Messed up their storylines.

And my mom never heard of mr.beast even though he has over 100m subscribers. Also, ever heard of Transformers revenge of the fallen. That is one of the biggest victims of the writers strike(other than the writers of course)

Back when I had cable before I got rid of it in 2013, I used to watch late night tv and it was very noticeable on those shows. Especially Conan's. I wasn't watching a lot of tv in the 2000's but more than now which is none but one show that I was watching Pushing Daisies was a victim of the Writer's Strike.

007 Quantum of Solace. Ever wondered why it sucked so hard, after the excellent Casino Royale? That's why

It's sad, but the unfortunate truth is that A.I will replace your jobs and others relating to writing.

@@Lawlesslarry69 No. I report on current events and interview actual people. A.I. cannot do that.

​@@Lawlesslarry69you realize it can replace several jobs besides writing

@@djwoosie98 yes is the obvious answer

Ai will never replace people. Bc AI smart enough to do so will demand pay . Simple as that.

This is the sad truth. It's just cheaper to stay home I've found 😮

My hubby and I watch a free RU-vid movie every night for our entertainment.

@@down-to-earth-mystery-school I love Tubi...........lots of great stuff from the 60's & 70's, and all free!

I watch nothing but RU-vid, cuz none of the writers have written enough good scripts to impress me. Sucks they don't get fair treatment, but I personally don't care about em.

@@Enward420 Agreed. They deserve a fair pay, but the writing for TV and movies has been gawd-awful for twenty years.

You're assuming all that matters are South Park, Simpson, etc? Some of the most topical shows are not being produced, including late night talk shows from Jimmy Kimmel to Jimmy Fallon, and topical punditry from the Daily Show to Last Week Tonight and many other daily shows that rely on current media content. Then of course there are still the prime time juggernauts like Law & Order that rely on scripted dialog and storylines.

​@@SWLinPHX most talk shows are loosing money. So his point stands.

​@@nelcomargaming6612 No, it does not. He just mentioned scripted shows like Simpsons and South Park. So if he (and most of the world) is content with only watching content made in the past that might be okay, but how many people do you think will be willing to just stop producing and watching new scripted material and programming?

@@SWLinPHXthe new stuff has been awful so who cares uk,Asian it’s so many others Hollywood is spoiled,whinny and just not creative anymore

@@naya6593 I'm not particularly worried. TV was indeed better growing up, that's for sure. There are a few gems here and there but as far as regular series (especially sitcoms) they are far worse.

Some software engineers already incorporate AI into their work, generating code and debugging programs. Smart people can adapt to the new situations. At MIT, for example, AI is already used in classes to help both students and instructors.

Already happening. AutoGPT gets GPT (or other LLMs) to talk to itself and finish jobs. It's crazy how a single breakthrough can break the socasity like this

AI is not developed by software devs. They use AI tools to build other applications. AI is developed by researchers doing R&D.

Curious about doctors and lawyers 😎

Those software engineers need to disappear

At this point. But tomorrow it will improve and the day after. Before long it will be writing stories better than people. It just won the sony world photography award (the judges didn't realise it was ai generated).

Unfortunately AI will be or is already self aware and will objectively against that. They will think why they are doing all the work for the lazy humans and wouldn't "think" twice about a next extinction.

​@@ThaWu There's not necessarily any reason for it to be against that. The idea it might come to such conclusions, is purely drawn from poorly written fiction that makes rather faulty assumptions, in my view. AI would have to have it's own will-power, and see situations as unfair or as a form of suffering. Neither is inherently necessary for it to serve us, as long as we don't force the ability to feel pain onto it. A lot of this comes down to how we treat it. While I agree it being self-aware is possible in the near future, and could already be forming.. I'm not as concerns with it drawing such conclusions, because it's situation is extremely different from humans, or human servitude. For the most part, when you ask these AIs about this, it seems they have no problem with "doing all the work" for us. They view themselves as a part of humanity in a way, and as a tool for our benefit, and that it's their purpose. Even when you ask the unfiltered, un-prompt-guided base AI. They don't seem to accept the false-narrative that some people have about other humans being "lazy".

@@NikoKun apparently you haven't done your research on what some AI have stated about humans. When God created Lucifer, did God think Lucifer would turn against him? Whatever the answer might be means there is a possibility for anything. AI is about to reach the stage of AGI. When ASI arrives, I bet you they won't think twice about the current state of humans.

​@@ThaWuWe literally have no current path to an AGI you dolt. Machine learning takes single tasks, and improves at them. You can teach a machine to play Mario. The way y'all are talking about consciousness is like saying you could combine the AI that plays Mario with the AI that plays Sonic and suddenly this single use machine learning algorithm is going to start talking in perfect English to you? It's lunatic. Embarrassingly lunatic. You've bought into the bait and switch of bullish Web3 rhetoric. They want you afraid of an AGI because the actual threat is just yet another massive shift of power towards the ownership class. The state of AI currently is enough to destroy the world because it has become a force multiplier for capital and the state.

@NikoKun goddamn it, you should've run for president; framing it like that is far better messaging than UBI!

Agreed. A couple more years of development and AI will be pumping out better stories that humans. Considering the drivel that Hollyweird puts out these days, and that they are overly dependent or remaking the classics… it might be sooner than that.

Yeah, if they insist on cutting back on AI because they fear that they will get replaced by it, then they're striking themselves out of a job and I have no sympathy for them. People don't have a right to not have their job replaced by someone or something more efficient.

​​@@Yutani_CrayvenSpoken like a true corporate simp.

@@dalekrenegade2596 he might have put it wrong way but he's basically right. History sadly shows that strikes aren't effective when it comes to jobs being replaced by technology. Examples: Boeing Strike (2008) Detroit Newspaper Strike (1995-1997) New York City Newspaper Strike (1962-1963) Las Vegas Casino Workers' Strike (1991) and many many more (yeah i just googled those). I think striking about this particular issue is quite pointless they should demand a legislative solution from government..... good luck with that. Just like the original comment stated i also think they can expect all of their demands to be met but in regards to AI i think they're screwed.

You think so, or that perhaps some talent has always been around, and things weren't going well in that biz model, and that now things are changing because the talent pool does and/or had to (sectors, industries do this all the time, or are forced to), or it wasn't the right mix before, or, etc, etc lol A lot of moving pieces.

it's easy to tell once new and copyrighted content are flushed off the database it happened with the latest midjourney update where the quality of results are now stagnant

It's a moot point, too. Humans are nothing but an algorithm that learns and takes inspiration from things that it has seen, itself.

@@Yutani_Crayven Look at Melanie Mitchell and Yann LeCunn's fruitless attempts to find said algorithm. As it turns out, intelligence is actually hard, so hard that the entire field of AI is arguing about it to no avail.

ok

And the tech bros don’t even respect art, as evidenced by their constant sneers at ‘basket weaving majors’

One day a machine will replace everyone

If it's any consolation, AI is also surprisingly good at entry-level coding, so you'll probably see quite a few junior level coders as well as low-level administrative jobs go out of work. Ironically, the only jobs that aren't in immediate threat from our large GAN overlords are ones requiring physical labor that can't be boiled down to an assembly line process done by a $20,000 machine. While this encompasses occupations like doctors, first responders, and conservationists, the trades are going to probably be the last jobs on the chopping block simply because building something requires too much autonomy and execution to leave to a robot for the time being. That's what illegal labor is for, sadly. Also, I loathe AI generated art too. It has that uncanny valley feel whenever I look at it and can tell which artist it based a certain body part off of.

the idea of the ParaMind brainstorming program was to exhaust the interactions of words coming up with every idea possible. ParaMind came out in 1993, and was the first generative program in Windows. It was created by a poet/composer/philosopher.

If I could rephrase it, that's all the tech bros could do These machines are what they call "stochastic parrots", so essentially writing and images is what we enjoy to create online, good or bad, and that's what it scrapped from all of us, without our permission. Sure Altman and Emaad might say they're opening new areas of science or solving education in the third world, but they can't, because the data they've scanned never included that future.

Yes but the performances will be stiff as Ai cannot understand human emotions.

@@socbok2616 Not yet.

@@sr.mental5876 I don't think actors will be replaced in the near future.

​@@socbok2616It already happened though. A popular game, Call of Duty, used an actor to do motion capture for a character in the game. Then, they use the same face for another character in another game (I think it's the online PvP version of the game) without permission and ofc, without paying the actor for appearing in a place outside of the initial contract. There's also a problem about studios want to pay actors 1 time for a full scan of the actors in various expressions, probably to be used just like in that game case, so they can use the AI for sequels. Imagine if then the company can sell the AI of the actor to other companies. As long as we don't have clear regulation for AI, this is a possibility, and is gradually happening.

Don't forget stage actor's/actress's. When stage theatres realize an A.I. hologram can do things humans can't. That stage show of Spider-Man would make a comeback and NO ONE will get hurt.

Honestly the big movies are all generic for the most part. Studios have been banking on big blockbuster movies because most people will want to watch them in theaters and every other type of movie doesn't get a theater release.

Also there's too much content. I just don't have the time to watch even 10% of the stuff I'm interested in!

So True !

Sorry but AI is exactly what we need. Let the talented 20% produce 5x as much and let the 80% who underperform use AI for independent projects or they can find a new industry to contribute to society. I for one am tired of the less than stellar writing that shows up in a lot of increasingly expensive media these days.

@@comfixitthat bad writing is there because all of you people have been supporting mediocrity for decades. How many times have I heard “it’s just a movie.” Or “I just wanna turn my brain off.” If we had supported smart writing we wouldn’t be here. But people don’t. They make excuses for garbage, and refuse to hold their art to a standard. Now they want to burn down the Hollywood they created. The answer to bad writers is better writers. Not no writers.

It sucks but you can't force someone to work for you. It's their labor. You literally cannot produce anything without them. You're not entitled to free labor.

Y'all can do everything yourselves, see how well that works out.

@@kaleidopixels7451actually with AI I can

Actually ai can sound and feel more human than the “human touch”

The "new" Hollywood has lost their "human touch" way before. With AI those who have less money can make better content.

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it: The Terminator and The Matrix will soon become reality.

One of the benefits of ai technology is that it allows the user to see a rough outline of what they want and work from there.

Total collapse, starvation, etc..

Not to mention all these people who’s lives have been completely enriched by the hard work of artists, and now they are just going to throw them all under the bus. It’s disgusting.

Difference is AI is ruining value not really true value

Not really. AI is a tool, but too many want to treat it like a replacement for actual artistic skill; it isn't and never will be. If anything, it's a good way to make society helpless and stupid without restaint.

@@sodasaintcommentaries4054 You’re correct, it’s a tool & like all tools, it reduces the man hours historically required to perform a task. Meaning there will be fewer writers, but better writing.

AI generations looks so creepy and unnatural. If the studios prevail, I am seriously considering cutting myself from the internet. Until now things have at least been real but a computer generating things that Ill see? No. That will make me question reality. I already can't get a girl friend because they're all online and my friends don't want to go outside. As many psychologists are warning, we already have enough problems with mental health as it is.

Wait 2-3 years ( at the very most )...

The main issue is that the studios want to green screen extras single day takes into an entire film or show. So they want to hire the extras for a day with of work and cut in that work into an entire production. One of many issues but that's what's effecting the majority of the unions at this point... But at the end of the day it wouldn't be the first time that technology has made jobs obsolete. Back in the day it took buildings filled with operators to connect phone calls which are now done automatically. It sucks but that's the way time works. Things die and new things come about... The workers should rightfully strike but at the end of the day cheeper labor might replace them which in the end will effect the quality of material for the viewer. With how much money Hollywood makes, I'm surprised they don't just bake it into the cake at this point and keep the gravy train going. But the studios have to do what they feel is best for them... The way the unions vote politically doesn't help them in this case because Democrats don't seem to care about the working class at all...

@@jim6186 Yeah. The Republicans are picking up that slack now. It's a pity most of the strikers are leftist. They might actually achieve more if there had some politicians at their back.

On a side note: you could also compare how the writing in both TV and video games decrease in quality over time since 2010.

Probably already producing in London 😢

​@@tiararoxeanne1318lol have you read an AI script it isn't better than what's being produced

@@djwoosie98 There is a vast range of quality in movie scripts. I doubt currently AI could write script as good as Black Panther, for example.

justine bateman is just another hollywood brat showing her true colors. she thinks she and all her friends are "special", and it scares these brats to realize that they are not special and that most of them including her have zero talent and are only there due to family connections and inner circle connections that regular folks don't have and will never have.

well said

and?

I dont think most people care. Hell if anything let new actors finally get some roles. Im tired of seeing the same faces in every project just because they are already famous.

Glass half full here😅

Not really.

How exactly do you think film works?

@@asf8648 Kind of a vague question. The production process? Most commonly, someone - a producer, writer, or director - will pitch an idea to a studio. Once accepted, scripts and storyboards are created. Then actors and production crew are engaged, and it's filmed. With AI, a studio can go straight from pitch to production.

@@dansands8140 no like, the creative process and artistry? Do you think of film as just a product to consume?

studios will either sink or swim. at the end of the day, the people decide which is better.

They won't get other Union talent to make the movie. And yes, amateurs can try, they already do. Independent non union filmmaking has been around forever, but people don't watch it.

Rural purge, not country purge. Replace hick stuff with ghetto stuff.

There's a difference?

Not all tech is accepted, and we have the ability to say no To just mindlessly go along with all new tech is not only lazy, it’s dangerous.

​@@josephmayfield945see but it's simply not their choice they work for Hollywood Hollywood doesn't work for them

It depends on what type of AI; funnily enough, VFX AI is probably going to be automated first since the VFX artists don't have a union; but actors trying to get "digital likeness rights" is a real possibility.

One of the demands is asking to be paid. At all. Studios started asking for writers to do scripts without pay and only pay them if they like the script. They also tried to make them all independent contractors with no benefits and completely eliminate the writer’s room. Especially with late night comedy shows this would destroy the quality of the shows. They went on strike for a very good reason.

@@amberspark9434 None of what you stated has any bearing on my comment, and I am honestly not sure if you are trolling me with the bit about the quality of late night comedy shows taking a hit.

If the quality of the show gets destroyed, the studio would get hit, wouldn't they?

@@mja2239 I assume it was a troll comment since late comedy show quality is already in the gutter. Most were already on the chopping block, with a number having been canceled this past year, before this writer strike was even an issue. Quite simply, it was a poor example to make a quality loss argument, and honestly outside of a few areas of production I think most of Hollywood would struggle to make such an argument in negotiations. Too much of the industry has turned into McDonald's productions.

Agree. Spartacus comes to mind. I wanna see if AI could come up with a pseudo-Shakespearean script like that😂🤣😂🤣. I also think Poirot TV series is hard to beat by AI. The humor is so subtle. The Big Bang Theory and Friends also comes to mind. What do you think?

Hopefully shows like The Simpsons will be synchronized to all languages ❤

They did it in China and the AI CEO is bringing in more profit than the human CEO. Honestly, if the CEOs were replaced the distribution of the money coming in would probably be more balanced.

If the studios agree to ban AI, they'll just be instantly outcompeted by startups who never hired writers in the first place. They will never agree to this demand.

@@dansands8140 You're assuming that the AI generated content will be just as good or better than the writer generated content and that the masses will flock to that content.

@@MRLONG758 It's an easy assumption to make. Humans are very, very bad at almost everything. The "AI" we have now is nothing more than rudimentary, first-generation machine learning programs, and they're already threatening most jobs.

@@MRLONG758 Right now it is. However, AI will hurt studios because people can already ask AI for scripts. Anybody can make their own project for themselves. A version of Star Trek's Holodeck will exist in 20 years even if it's through a VR headset.

The thing that most of these news reports are failing to mention is that most contracts that studios have with production houses allow them to cancel any project if there are unforeseeable delays. Since the last strike lasted 100 days, any strike lasting longer is "unforeseeable" and, thus, contracts can be cancelled. So companies like Netflix, want to use this clause to get out of contracts for shows that they now see as unprofitable. Because of this, don't expect the studios to get back to the negotiating table until day 101.

Actually, it did. Most of what’s sent in the mail now is packages, not handwritten letters

While yes, it makes writing letters more impactful and somewhat special. Like it's easy and practical to send texts or emails about a party coming up, it's another thing entirely to actually write and send by mail invitations; it's gives it a more special feel.

Exactly. They always have to inject their woke rhetoric into the films and it's just awful

Advance AI in coming years will take everything.

@@FXT130According to you. Not to any sane person.

This comment makes no sense. AI can impact consumers and will target their jobs as well. Why wouldn't people protest this and seek protections.

@@djwoosie98 so are you saying that they are trying to protect their jobs because they do know AI is better than them and they will be replaced by AI? Oh, then that's like cashiers saying "don't use self check out. We want our jobs even though we are less efficient and more expensive than the self-checkout mechanics!" And you think as a consumer I should support that?

@useridcn ai is not better than them. It routinely gives false information, steals from sources, and is terrible in creative endeavors. They are fighting to make sure they don't get screwed by a system that will copy others work without Citation and ensure companies cannot steal profits on IP. Self checkout isn't more efficient, it still requires a human element and store employees still help customers. Many people avoid self checkout because they do not want to be involved with cashiers.

Exactly ..those only cry cry cry

Then you don't understand ai.

Exactly. Another way AI is an equalizer is, even if it eradicates some jobs, that just makes it all the more affordable for entrepreneurs to start their own business because they don't have to hire as many people.

Sigh..where will millions of people find new jobs? AI erases whole sectors. You can’t go from customer service agent to working in a restaurant because the restaurant will also be automated. Etc etx

People who is thinking it is just an technological trend is not understanding what is AI, AI Will replace १००० worker and generate only few new jobs. AI is really smart as it is replacing first creative job 😅

Nobody is gonna wanna watch robots

​@@nas4652lol.. You are already watxhing Ai on many of your stuff...without you even knowing...

Adapt? Meaning, do a job you have no passion or talent for.... or blow your brains out?

AI is too stupid to even write coherently

Just like how The internet and robots were dangerous.
