Demands against automation are just as stupid as the Hollywood unions demands against AI. It's a get on board or get run over situation.
False equivalence. AI makes shitty movies. Being against AI is being in favor of quality control.
AI has already been getting used increasingly on even quality movies. The good parts get renamed like ADR.
Letting the tools run wild will lead to bad results, that doesn't mean they don't have a place in future productions.
I'm happy to re evaluate in 20 years or so. But we're nowhere near there yet.
They're using the leverage they have which is exactly what unions are for. They can't, for example, lobby effectively for UBI or universal healthcare. So they do the next best thing.
If these people, or any people, thought for a second that automation would make their lives and the lives of their families better they would be for it. If you want progress people will need to be a part of it, not a victim of it.
That's probably wishful thinking, that last part.
Unions have limited leverage, using it to stop automation is like fighting the tide. They should be arguing for training for positions running the automated cranes, priority in hiring for new positions, job placement assistance, tuition reimbursement, or other things to help employees.
