    The freakout shows up everywhere. Hollywood screenwriters and actors went on strike when they thought A.I. might replace them.

    What an elementary understanding of the situation. I stopped reading here because it didn’t bode well for the rest of the article. What are you, NYT, a school newspaper?

    They were striking to prevent their likeness from being exploited by large corporations indefinitely. Not because “they thought A.I. might replace them.”

      Agreed, NYT missing the boat. I’m very pro-AI as a promising technology and even I get that if you copy someone else’s valuable art or likeness, you’re free riding off them no matter what tool you used to do the copying.

        honestly I would not have much issue with the copying if we had some sort of global universal healthcare, education, and income.
