I'd also add that bottom-up world creation where fans write the stories might also be around the corner :)

As @matthew & @jacky have pointed out it’s lack of streaming cut which the unions laughed at during the last strike during 07/08 (even though younger members warned the union) 

So once again the folks in Hollywood are a decade behind. No thought as to AI & impact. But I have and it’s a big piece of @moviepitches

AFAIK writers are battling lower incomes from transition to streaming

- Streaming has reduced seasons from 20+ to 8-12 episodes
- Streaming has disrupted traditional royalty model when writers get paid for reruns

AFAIK (family member works in TV) it's related to streaming royalties
