Cory DoctorowHow the #WritersGuild sunk #AI's ship: No one's gonna buy enterprise AI licenses if they can't fire their workers
For the #AI sector, a 148-day news-cycle about how AI threatened writers’ jobs was a gift from the heavens
The real reason the studios are excited about AI is the same as every stock analyst and CEO who’s considering buying an #AI enterprise license: they want to fire workers and reallocate their salaries to their shareholders
If the studios can’t use #AI to fire writers and replace them with #chatbots, they have no reason to shell out millions for enterprise licenses
No matter how horny your boss is for replacing you with an #AI, a #union will cool his ardor

#AIHype completely misunderstands the point of #ScienceFiction
