AI will utterly upend the entertainment industry. Once AI can generate movie-length animated output, Hollywood will go the way of the vaudeville. Directors, film crew, actors and all the supply chain and ancillary industries revolving around movie-making will be obsolete.

The thing is, the protections writers won only protected them when working WITH AI. I.e. companies can’t hire unionized writers and pay them less because they are using AI. If they can skip the writers all together all those protections go out the window.
I’m not saying this will happen soon or at all. I’m just saying that if the models become capable or generating screen ready material the protections writers won won’t matter anymore.

II thin it’s actually possible. Normally the argument against is that “AI can’t be creative” but when was the last time Hollywood made a creative movie? “Write a script for Spiderman movie. Include origin story. Spiderman will fight Green Goblin. Again.”.

Most Pixar films. They’re entirely animated in cg, and yet I highly doubt the ability of an ai to generate a better final product.
