It’s time for workers across Hollywood (and maybe the world) to ensure humans keep their jobs.
The great Roger Ebert once said cinema is the ultimate empathy machine. Well, many years later, we’re dealing with regular machines attempting to take human empathy out of the process, and we need to stop them. No matter what it takes.
This week in Vanity Fair, there was a fantastic article about how the WGA strike is really just the first skirmish in what is about to be the human war on artificial intelligence. In Hollywood, the writers are on the front lines right now as the AMPTP refuses to negotiate provisions to protect our jobs from AI.
This may look like just the writer’s fight right now, but what’s coming is sweeping changes that will affect the entire industry.
AI is coming for your jobs. There will be measures for it to replace writers, producers, editors, directors, and executives.
If we don’t nip it in the bud now and ensure that creative jobs stay with human beings, we’re going to have a lot of people out of work.
