>Since May 2023, the Writers Guild has been on strike against Hollywood companies, a significant event that has impacted numerous productions, including the popular show “The View.” This strike, stemming from an ongoing dispute over pay, working conditions, and the growing use of artificial intelligence in movies and television, highlights the evolving challenges facing the entertainment industry. Writers picketing outside of ABC offices last week spoke of how the standoff is not only affecting the production pipeline but also the livelihoods of people who form the backbone of Hollywood. This is sparking a broader conversation about the value and recognition of creative labor in the digital age.
