The WGA has said that AI technology can be helpful for some tasks, like analyzing data and doing research, but it can’t replace human writers’ creativity and intuition. They say that AI can’t understand and interpret complex emotions and cultural nuances, which are important parts of a good story.

But some experts think that AI technology has the potential to completely change the industry by making writing faster, easier, and cheaper. AI algorithms can look at a huge amount of data, like how well a movie did at the box office and what people are interested in, to help writers make better stories.

Even so, many writers are worried about how AI might affect their jobs and how they develop new ideas. They say that AI technology can’t replace the unique perspectives and experiences that human writers bring to their work.

The strike has gotten a lot of support from people in the industry. Several well-known actors and directors have come out in support of the writers. But there are no signs that the fight will end any time soon.
