Why do you think actors and writers are currently striking?

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, I don't have information about any ongoing strikes among actors and writers. However, strikes in these industries often occur due to disputes over issues such as fair compensation, working conditions, and creative rights. To get accurate and up-to-date information about the current strikes, I recommend checking news sources or official statements from the relevant organizations.

Haha. AI, doesn't know it neither.

The writers guild of America is currently on strike right now over low wages and being replaced with ai.

A lot of actors are striking in solidarity.

Idk all the details but that's the gist of what I've read about it.

I know, just thought it's funny to ask an AI about that.

Omg I'm stupid I didn't realize that was a prompt and was wondering wtf you were meaning 😭

Yes AI stuff is sometimes hard to detect. The "idk what's going on after 2021" is the typical chatgpt 3.5 free version bullshit.

Corporations made bank off their labor and gave them fuck-all. Because of course, streaming is different from TV or movies, on account of mumble mumble mumble, so decades of negotiation can go pound sand.
