The WGA settlement allows the studios to train AI on scripts written by WGA writers as long as writers are paid. Writers will also be credited and paid on scripts that were generated by AI tools.

Looks like generative AI isn’t going away in Hollywood and instead a model for paying writers whose work is trained on generative AI is where they landed. I expect this will repeat across almost every industry.

@carnage4life @hannu_ikonen That’s giving the game away.

And I wonder if writers get paid when the AI trains on the second-order scripts written by the AIs trained on the writers’ work. They’re just one script generation from being irrelevant.
