You are using the infancy of this to inform your opinion. It's too restrictive now. It's only going to get smarter and more adaptive. The doomsday scenario is that it overtakes all of our jobs, and I hope it won't ever get to that point. But I do think that things like the arts - which are beautiful and often lucrative, but are not vital to human life - are among the first industries that will really feel the impact of this, unfortunately.Capybara said:
Having used GPT-4 to tinker with a few ideas, it's too restrictive to ever unravel a lasting voice or allow you to breathe in this context.

Please never tell anyone in person that the arts aren't vital to human life. Vitality itself is art.BowSowy said:You are using the infancy of this to inform your opinion. It's too restrictive now.

Storytelling (aka art) is a vital part of empathy, and empathy is vital to the survival of the human race. Without it, we would be incapable of seeing beyond ourselves and our own self-interests. That, and we've literally been telling stories since the dawn of man, going back to cave paintings and the constellations, which were right there alongside hunting, gathering, sex, fire, and shelter. Storytelling was, is, and always will be the only way we can make any sense of the world, our place in it, and keep from going bash*t insane.
I'm sorry, but if you don't see that as vital, I don't know what to tell you.

$100 says it has something to do with the fact that all late night talk show hosts are "libs," and thus them being silenced is a good thing. Or, he hates SNL now because it's too one-sided/not as as good as it was whenever he was in high school. Either way, it's almost assuredly a virtue signal drive by, for which this thread is natural target.

I mean, you jumped on a 10 day old thread you had yet to comment on to deliver a single sentence expressing glee that late night shows are off the air. That's a drive-by if I've ever seen one.AlaskanAg99 said:TCTTS said:

It's all trash, as is Hollywood. So few original ideas the last few decades. Late night, SNL, all garbage that really isn't worth the effort as it's just rehashed talking points. You can add the majority of sitcoms and nearly all movies. MCU phase 4 has been one soft steaming turd. But the big part is how self important they believe themselves to be. What other industry has half a dozen awards programs self produced to just jerk each other off?
Not a drive by, Hollywood is a big source of cultural rot.
If anyone needs to be entertained, pick up a book, learn a new hobby.
I'm confused. Are the writers not acting in their own self-interest?TCTTS said:

It's fine for you to feel this way, but always funny to me that people like you feel the need to lurk on these threads and jump in just to trash everything. No one's forcing you to watch anything Hollywood puts out.

It's just human nature to want to gloat. Especially when something appears self-inflicted like a strike.
Personally, I'm getting tired of the horn honking but I hope the writers get their demands met soon.
