David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: Ok, so you’ve spent your career television without AI, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had that tool to solve those thorny problems…

SIMON: What?

SHAPIRO: … Or saying…

SIMON: You imagine that?

SHAPIRO: … Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.

SIMON: I don’t think AI can challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.

SHAPIRO: But if you’re trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you’re stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an AI and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.

SIMON: I’d rather put a gun in my mouth.

      Wouldn’t doubt it, “commie news network” CNN was absolutely blasting democratic candidates while letting conservatives on to spout 30 minutes of lies with no pushback, so they’d seem “fair.” Made 0 difference conservatives still say they are unbelievably biased. Luckily all these news orgs are owned by the same billionaire so it’s unlikely to change 😴😴😴
