In the entertainment industry it becomes easy to forget that at the end of the day we are all human and that the people working in the industry deserve to be treated with dignity. The writer’s guild has every right to be upset and protest for fair wages. The basis of their argument is that they are not receiving fair pay and that they run the risk of being replaced by AI. Due to the stress of the job it’s only fair that the writers as well as the actors get paid what they deserve for their hard work. In today’s day in age it has also become a common fear that AI might take over most jobs because it’s less expensive to replace human beings with AI.


Why is AI Being Considered A Threat by The Writers Guild?

AI is not only being considered dangerous to jobs around the world but the idea of introducing AI in the entertainment industry is rocking the writers guild’s world and with great reason. If AI was to be introduced into the writers guild, there would be no need to hire people anymore. This would cause countless individuals to not only lose their jobs but have their home lives affected as well.


Why Pay The Writers Guild an Appropriate Wage?

There is a reason that these individuals currently on strike for fair pay are part of the writers guild. They possess skills and creativity that not everyone does. I’m not saying that they are the only creative people on the planet. They are simply extremely talented and deserve to be rewarded for what they bring to the table. The movies and shows that have been produced over the years are in part to them and they deserve to be rewarded for their sacrifice and hard work.


When working in the Entertainment Industry or any industry for that matter, it is important to pay the employees for the work that they do and pay them fairly. This will help to make sure that people are happy and that they come to work happy and always willing to give their ultimate best. In addition to that, it is important to remember or keep in mind that AI might seem like a fantastic idea because it might be “cheaper” and might work more or longer than the average person, but they will not put in the dedication or creativity that one will.
