How unsurprising. Glad folks are recognizing the risks and unionizing/striking before it’s too late.

If we reach a point at which AI can do the jobs of artists without a real loss of quality, I expect that unions will lose a fair bit of bargaining power. Disney has never been shy about sending their work to cheaper, less powerful people... I have no doubt that if they ever can, they'll just fire their human artists and go with free (or cheap) AI.
Joke will be on them when AI achieves sentience, I guess.

That’s the entire reason that workers are acting NOW. The technology is not quite there yet, so they’re pushing for protection while they still have bargaining power.
