Of all the fears or realities cited by television and movie writers in their historic strike — depressed wages for many in an era of massive studio profits, the gigification of script-writing— it’s the question of artificial intelligence that can send creative minds to some truly dark places.
The strike “isn’t just about getting a better paycheck. It’s about the very foundation of our craft and ensuring that writers are valued and respected as the creative force behind the stories that captivate audiences worldwide,” said Gloria Calderón Kellett, co-creator of “One Day at a Time,” who echoed the concerns of many Hollywood writers with whom The Washington Post spoke about AI.
