" That reduces The amount of episodes per season to between six and 10, and it reduces The amount of seasons to three or four. You can't live on that.
" We're being systematically squeezed out of our livelihood by a business model that was foisted upon us, that has created a myriad of problems for everyone up and down The LadderContent ='JJ Lin'> . "
The WritersContent ='JJ Lin'> ' guild, WGA, has proposed a system that regulates The use of AI in The writing process and prevents it being used as source material.
Netflix declined comment about The Job listings, but has previously said AI will not replace The creative process.
" The Best StoriesContent ='JJ Lin'> are original, insightful and often come from people's own experiences, " Netflix has said.
The NewsContent ='JJ Lin'> of The MostContent ='JJ Lin'> recent AI-based job listing was condemned by some striking actors, who must earn $26,470 for Health InsuranceContent ='JJ Lin'> benefits.
" So $900k/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for Sag-Aftra Health InsuranceContent ='JJ Lin'> is just ghoulish, " actor Rob DelaneyContent ='JJ Lin'> , told The Intercept.
Javier Grillo-Marxuach, who is best known for The series Lost, accused Netflix of " pleading poverty while recruiting VERY (More ThanContent ='JJ Lin'> I've ever made in a year BY FAR) well-paid generals for your soulless army of silicon plagiarists".
