This is good. The fact that "AI" was the final sticking point means the WGA were correct in asserting that the strike was prolonged because the studios were failing to negotiate; If the studios really wanted writers back at work, agreeing to not do something they've never done before and aren't currently doing would be uncontroversial.

Basically, studios wanted to replace writers with linear algebra, and unions prevented them. Good job.

@NewtonMark I’m sure AI scripts and film making will be “wonderful”
