THE BIG STORY
AI-Generated (Fake) South Park Episode Adds Fuel to the Writer’s Strike

Brief: Fable Studios, a company that spun off from Facebook's Oculus, has demonstrated an AI that can "write, animate, direct, voice, edit" an entire TV show, amidst an ongoing strike of creatives in TV and film.

The company showcased this technology by creating a full, fake "South Park" episode. While the technology is impressive, the timing of its release has raised eyebrows, given the current concerns about AI replacing human jobs in the creative industry.


Details:

• Fable Studios has developed an AI that can create an entire TV show, including writing, animating, directing, voicing, and editing. The company demonstrated this by creating a fake "South Park" episode.
  

• The release of this technology comes at a time when creatives in TV and film are on strike, with many warning about the dangers of AI replacing human jobs.
  

• Fable Studios CEO, Edward Saatchi, believes that demonstrating this capability is good for the labor side of the strike, arguing that it could help negotiate strong protections against producers using AI tools without the express permission of artists.

Takeaway: The demonstration of Fable Studios' AI technology has highlighted the potential of AI in the creative industry, but also the concerns about job displacement. As AI continues to advance, it's crucial for industries to negotiate protections for human workers and find a balance between human creativity and AI capabilities.
