      That’s allowed, no?

      Unless I’m mistaken, this was more about writers not wanting the studio to be able to say “we had an ai generated a script. We’ll pay you a day to do a brief editing pass.”

        Quoting the linked article:

        The contract the Guild secured in September set a historic precedent: It is up to the writers whether and how they use generative AI as a tool to assist and complement—not replace—them. Ultimately, if generative AI is used, the contract stipulates that writers get full credit and compensation.

        So, yeah. It’s more about ensuring that a human person in the writers’ guild gets credited as a writer, even if they or someone else uses an ai as a tool in the process.
