I’m absolutely with writer and actors fundamentally. Humans aid in the things we complain about so much and it’s baffling to me. We love making decisions as a country that make 90% of people poorer and a select few extremely rich. This isn’t just about acting. People need to wake up

Justine is really great and she is nailing this stuff. But if an AI "views" your book, movie, music, it owe's you the same as a human who "view's" your material. If it produces something that is too much like your work, you can sue for copyright. AI is going to challenge the very foundations of what it means to be.

This is the most understandable explanation so far

Very informative and interested. Thanks for sharing ☺️

She gave a very compelling argument for why politicians should take notice - because their jobs are also subject to replacement by AI. This should be repeated in the media ad nauseum.

What's happening in Hollywood is a hint of what's coming across the planet in most industries. The threat is real. People need to protest en masse in order to slow Ai down. Sadly, it's inevitable that Ai becomes commonplace, but to what degree depends on what humans do to oppose it. Hollywood has the best chance at controlling the outcome due to the power that actors wield. I also think it's important for people to play with Ai as they would any tool. It does have great benefit if you understand its role. It will make people less fearful of it. Sadly, the genie is out of the bottle, and we've never come face to face with something smarter and more capable than humans. Ai without humans is useless, so think of it as your assistant, capable of doing the tedious tasks you hate doing. Creativity and the human spirit are a long way from being replaced by Ai. That's at least 5 years away.

I love this interview, S/O Justine Bateman. I've been saying this and I'm happy you are on my wave length! We need more thought leaders like you!

Wow I was thinking about moving to LA to pursue a career in screenwriting but my dad been telling me their on strike I agree I’m tired of seeing the same shit which is why I’m writing books I want them into a tv series I’ll get it together myself it seems like so much craziness is going on ✍🏾

This is the most comprehensive explanation yet of why AI will change everything in the arts. Thanks to both of you for taking the time to explain what is going on.

Justine so right on here! No wonder I always liked her!

As long as there are shareholders, the focus will always be on profit from predictability. No risks or new IPs; all math.

3:17 whoooooooooaaaa my mind was just blown, 28 years in the industry and currently directing. Thanks for the heads up, looking at switching over to project management.

Amazing interviewer, and very good interview

Replacing directors?? That is CRAZY!!

Justine spoke some real truths.

13:26 You are absolutely right It will decimate our biz and this town called Hollywood Creatitivity cannot beat the random beauty of the human mind. I am an Actor and the daughter of writers! We must stand now!

Good for you, damn it, Justine!

Thanks Justine well said ❤

She brings up excellent points that I haven’t even thought of. That’s why we must listen to the pros.

Justin Bateman Rocks!

...Whatdayamean they cloned Selma Hayek 👀...without CONSENT !! or Pay..oh dearlord. What the f*uk is Hollywood doing ?

Justine Bateman at 10:27....."yes, break up social media as monopolies".....Trump wanted to do this.

Most actors and writers can afford to strike but what about all of the people make $15 - $20 an hr. They will suffer the most. They are not getting more money or better benefits

You know as I ponder this strike I realize that AI types of performers do not appeal to me. I do not animee because I prefer live action performers. So, actual human beings interpreting roles and/or performing can never be replaced with one exception. Game show hosts- but not contestants - can be replaced with BOTS. Good grief those hosts talk too much ie the host of Masterminds🤯 And, someone’s likeness should not be used unless the model is compensated and he or she receives ongoing residuals. I guess I now support the strike by both unions and do so by not patronizing sponsors of repeated programs. Reply

Jeeze. Who's idea was it to use a fisheye lens on Ms. Taylor? The distortion is unreal!

Yes, I agree, time and place for tech and focus more on human creativity but 🤷‍♀️follow the 💰 trail.

❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍I LOVE this human! God tubes VS. AI !!! JB is a goddess!

Dam the host is AI...she is a bot!!

The pornography industry would follow soon. Ai is devastating.

She's so smart

I like that they used AI to interview Justine. Clever

My dream is that a Disney AI robot goes out of control and destroys the entire city. Go Go Godzilla!

What on earth is going on in the world?? This is disgusting behaviour and lacks integrity. Praying for all the artists that are so gifted. ❤🙏

This is scary.

is Jason on same page as his sister?

What none of these Hollywood folks get is that literally nobody else cares about your impending obsolescence.Welcome to the rest of the world. The come down will be hard.

Take this post off the air too. Some peeps afraid of free talking

Is it me? The Interview appears to be AI-generated ☹

I feel boring series, poor written stories destroyed content. Ai is better, ai doesnt get stoned before a wrtting session. College wrttting education didnt prepare you for the future. Grow up. The great writers are still writing. Great actors are great actors.

Stike as long as you 🌖 wants?

Yes, you have an AI generated thing on your face. What’s up with that? I don’t like this AI generated stuff to help and change your face. It doesn’t look right😮

Juatine Bateman doesn't realize it but she just made a very strong pro-AI argument: the choice for the consumer is between AI making whatever show the consumer wants versus Hollywood deciding what entertainment is made (and more importantly, what is not made).

A lot of people are actually glad about this. Hollywood has been putting out such woke trash for the last few years. Sane people and our children need a break.

Damn I can see through her nose into her brain 😨🫣

Good, More Indies will be made quicker.

Is it ironic but does this lady actually sound like an AI

The interviewer looks A.I. or is that just me...

The industry is toast lets be honest. Get a ai certification 8 mo is $10k. Cal tech or mit and that way you can be the ai coordinators for Hollywood.

Ok can they shift the angle a bit? I am distracted looking directly into the interviewers nostrils

I like this interview. But I can understand the studio's point of view. I remember sitting through the beginning of Tar and sitting through 15 minutes of credits. Photographers, cinematographers, grip people, production assistants, a hundred producers. 15 minutes of screen after screen and I wondered "why does a movie need THAT many people to produce a movie." And you see the end credits of a movie and there are tons of people who get credit. I think the studios have a point. TOO MUCH cost. However, the actors and creatives should be given compensation if they are replaced by AI. If you start writing and a script and AI takes over, pay the writer. If you introduce a proposal and AI takes over, pay the writer for the proposal.

Mam....please back up from the camera. thats a little ridiculous. I shouldnt have the host looming over me like godzilla jesus.

AI is not into making movies you didn’t ask me or have my permission to film me

Everything she is saying is correct from an emotional perspective and from a leverage perspective for the guilds. However, with the more technologically advanced AI systems and integrations into the internet I would argue that the feed of new ideas or content that she is referring to is completely incorrect. Every subculture ground swell comes from ideas and people discuss those at length on the Internet. This would allow for a far more accurate mirror to be held up to our society on a far more rapid basis. As to the actors likenesses, the actors have a hard choice similar to the music industry decades ago. Sell their likeness and make small residuals (think Spotify) or the AI will generate a similar looking actor or actress (think about the hundreds of look alikes on a typical casting couch ie need a Blonde, mid twenties with similar build to Riece Witherspoon) that they can promote for decades across multiple movies who will never age allowing for fan loyalty to remain. I personally grew up idolizing Sly and Schwarz and now they are old. Imagine never having to watch Rambo age. The studio doesn't need the actors likeness in the long run, they only need it during the transition period as they transition fans to pure fictional AI characters they can own in perpetuity who the fans will love after a few movies as long as the quality is there. This battle is lost as soon as the quality of production is presentable.

It is strange how people who mocked dirt poor workers in the flyover states and told them to learn how to code are now demanding that people should support this strike, so I'll say this to the writers. Learn to code.

So now it's illegal to learn from other people's work!?😅 That's what human history is based off of!

Great interview I went to high school with both Justine and her husband both good people and she is so on top of it all. BUT interviewer please lookin the camera with your nose down all I see is your nose hiles! Distracting seriously

Industries change. Don’t fight progress. AI isn’t going away.

No one is watching or wants to watch the crap all these writers are coming up with. So their argument about getting paid is invalid

Special effects artists got replaced by computer animation, classic animation again got replaced by computer animation. For someone who has a degree in computer science I'm surprise she's taking the stance that she is. She should know better than anyone that by trying to stop AI you're stopping innovation. The writers and actors are not going to stop it they are they're going have to adapt or find new careers.

Both these ladies could easily be replaced by ai for 100th the cost.

I'm a 3D Artist who's worked on movies & streaming shows. I DON'T support the writer's strike or the actors strike. Artists, sound engineers, producers, designers, stage crew, etc. get NOTHING from these strikes except being UNEMPLOYED due to the strikes. Don't be brainwashed by the unions, they are basically the mafia of my industry. These strikes are horrible for so many people but the greedy writers & actors don't care how many people's careers & livelihoods they ruin.

just replace them all with AI. actors aren't a necessary item in society.

😵😱😵😱😵😱😵😱😵😱😜🤪😜🤪😜🤪😜🤪🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂👽👾👽👾👽👾👽👾👽👽🙉🙊🤐🦍🙈🦍🤐🙊🙉🙈🦍🤐🙊🙉🙈🦍🤐🙊

Hopefully, the strike will last forever.

It's called progress
