The only thing you need to understand about people that make comments like that is that they don't care about anything unless (or until) it affects THEM personally.

The second it affects them, now it's real, now it's "OH this shouldn't be legal". Those people lack empathy.

100% agree. So many of the responses here are of the "why can't they just eat cake?" variety. Actors are striking because (a) they want to still have a viable career and (b) studios still need actors, and AI still needs humans for training. Do I think any of these commenters would be OK if the script was flipped and instead the deal was "We will pay you a thousand dollars to train this AI programmer for a week so we can then fire you and have the AI write all the programs instead."

Borderline psychopathy in my opinion.

a) Disagreeing with Luddites isn't psychopathy b) Article is complete bogus, nobody is talking about replacing actors with AI

> Article is complete bogus, nobody is talking about replacing actors with AI

That is just 100% wrong. It is literally a major point of contention in the demands of SAG and big reason they went on strike.
