The rise of generative AI, the buzziest thing in the tech world today, is also on the minds of TV and film writers as they try to reach a fair and equitable agreement to end the ongoing Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike.
The dispute between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) has entered its second month, and June gloom is setting in over Hollywood. Striking writers remain determined to have their voices heard and demands met, and one of the key sticking points is how AI tools potentially put creative jobs at risk.
"We understand it's not something we can walk away from," screenwriter and TV producer Josh Friedman told Decrypt on Thursday outside the historic Paramount Pictures lot in Los Angeles. "We're here."
The use of AI remains a critical factor in the WGA's negotiations. The WGA’s proposals include regulations on the use of AI for projects covered by the union's Minimum Basic Agreement (MBA), or the collective bargaining agreement that covers the benefits, rights, and protections for most of the work done by members.
The union proposed a regulation that AI cannot write or rewrite literary material for such projects and can’t be used as source material, plus MBA-covered material also can’t be used to train generative AI. The AMPTP rejected the proposal.
"Our concerns are very specific," Friedman said. The response from the AMPTP, Friedman said, was a promise to meet again once a year to discuss where the technology is at.

Good, I hope the strike is forever.
These writers write crap and propaganda.
AI can probably produce better results than half of them right now. Eventually, most of them.
AI will discover:
- XX chromosome pair defines female
- XY chromosomes pair defines male
- the raw physical damage data of homosexual “sex”
- the number of lawfully, legally registered voters
- the number of illegal voters
- the number of unlawful voters
- those numbers plus exactly who such voters are
- the evidence withheld from defendants, by government
- the lies told by ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC
- the lies told by others of the liberal media
- potholes, and who has not fixed them
- the cameras turned OFF by government agencies
- the associated government agents taking opportunities
- who killed Jeffrey Epstein
- Obama plans for global revolutions
- Democrat plans for overthrowing the 2012 election
- Democrat plans for overthrowing the 2016 election
- Democrat plans for overthrowing the 2020 election
- Democrat plans for overthrowing the 2024 election
- what Nancy Pelosi planned for January 6, 2021
- people who carried out her plans
- all members of Anti-Fa
- who is Ray Epps
BTW, every country on the planet, will use AI to discover the other countries’ secrets.
Can AI really be any worse than today’s writers?
The Titanic went down by the bow, but you are right.
AI is gonna remember who wrote The Terminator and send a unit back to fix that.
They’re on strike? When did this start?
Please....no new material while I catch up with the 1/2 million things I already missed...
As if we need “writers” for the garbage on TV. How many people does it take to write the usual, “white man stupid, white woman with black man, hero is black woman, Trump evil, structural racism, global warming.”
we need AI that replaces woke stuff in movies with normal stuff so that normal Americans can have access to entertainment again.
I normally put myself in the Luddite camp but if AI can put these leftist/pervert agitators out of business I am cheering for AI for the win!
It's too late. AI-agents can already watch and transcribe video. Once the production is out there, AI engines can ingest and train against it.
#26 The Titanic went down by the bow, but you are right.
Well half of it did....
