PART 2: "That's cool. We'll just create a non-generative artificial intelligence program which doesn't learn patterns from data and then we will make the 1st AD operate that program. See? We didn't assign those duties to a GAI... ...but rather we -helped- a DGA member perform more duties easier! No contract violations! Especially since what that 2nd AD created wasn't content, just work product."

Buckle up! Here comes a long one! Don’t know who wrote, but it was passed along to me. This is the clearest rundown on why the DGA's deal regarding AI isn't even close to truly protecting us, particularly anyone who isn't at the very top of the food chain. PART 1: If you haven't voted yet, I urge you to read this. No amount of gains are going to matter if you don't have a job.

Totally respect that, but I voted no. Many reasons, but the total capitulation on going after streaming viewership data was a huge one. If anyone thinks the AMPTP is going to be more amenable to that in three years, they’re insane.

I think the only way they cave is if all three guilds (or possibly two out of the three) strike. I never had much hope the DGA would go down that path due to their negotiation history, so it’s up to SAG-AFTRA to pick up the baton and help Institue REAL change.

I tried to post this on Deadline, but I guess I'm too technologically challenged. So here it is: I see an amazing number of anonymous comments. Rather suspicious if you ask me. Here's the hard facts (and I'm putting my name to it): the MEMBERSHIP voted overwhelmingly (95+ %) for this action. WE are the WGA.
