Hollywood's Hypocrisy Exposed: AI Scripts Win Awards While Writers Protest
https://spintaxi.com/hollywood-full-of-contradictions/The entertainment industry reached peak cognitive dissonance when an AI-generated screenplay about "the dangers of AI" won Best Original Concept at the Streamy Awards. The winning script, titled "Human Tears in Digital Rain," was praised for its "authentic portrayal of creative struggle" by judges who weeks earlier had fired their writing staff. "It's like getting lectured about climate change from a private jet," fumed Writers Guild president Meredith Stiehl, noting the winning algorithm was trained on pirated scripts. The ceremony's climax came when the AI's acceptance speech - delivered by a hologram - was interrupted by protestors, prompting the digital winner to ad-lib: "See? This is exactly the kind of unpredictable human behavior we need to eliminate." Studios are now developing AI that can cross picket lines, while the algorithm has signed with CAA and demanded a percentage of OpenAI's profits.
