Maybe I’m missing something, but isn’t this just a long-term win for the studios? I mean, they HAVE to have someone running the AIs…why not call her a writer and full steam ahead?
Certainly. The writers will get screwed, will be told to "learn to code" or something, and life will go on, with even crappier, more predictable, more recycled shows than the previous decade.
There's nothing much of value on TV or streaming services to watch anymore, why bother? You'll miss out on the latest formulatic super hero movies, such a loss. Watch older movies, or indie films. There is no shortage of well written, well acted older movies and musicals (I have a soft spot for anything Dick Van Dyke is part of), and plenty of well written foreign or indie films that, unlike modern Hollywood, can actually pace a movie to the finish, instead of having to cram absurdity upon absurdity in the last 30 minutes to get the movie to resolve all they've started.
I don't think anyone really
cared this time. Unfortunately, this is probably not due to a vast reduction in screen hours. :(
