What's the difference between last and final?

It's just awkwardly worded. The SAG reported they've received an offer from the studio, in which they studio called "the last, best, and final" offer they're (sag) going to get.

Not if you keep looking 🤔

Oh look, it’s fake Margot Robbie again

Hello Margot Robbie!

I highly doubt this for one big reason: The courts have already ruled that AI generated content isn't eligible for copyright protection.

Suppose a studio managed to make a Big AI Action Franchise using only AI. They wouldn't be able to copyright any of the movie. This would mean that people could download and share it freely. Streaming services could put it online without needing to pay the studio that "made" the film. Movie theaters could get a copy online and show it instead of paying for copies.

A copyright free AI Movie would be a revenue disaster. And we know that if there's one thing the studios care about, it's money.

"These people will be replaced one day, so let's not pay them fairly now" is not the good argument you think it is.

Very soon is still 10 years out, but you aren’t wrong.

Ironically this will level the playing field for truly good and creative writing, but will also generate a fuck ton of “crap”

It’s gonna be an interesting ride.

There is no way that completely AI generated movies will be the majority of content that people actually watch and talk about in the next 50 years. Yes, it will take over a lot of the tedious parts of filming and will probably make up a significant portion of a lot of movies, like any kind of automation does.

Any attempts to AI generate a script for a full movie is going to be gibberish without human intervention, actually doing the right emotion for the right lines, and action scenes that aren't a train wreck are going to be comedic levels of crap for a very, very long time.

Humans can barely pull all of those off and what is the AI going to learn from when most of the current movies are crap? Hell, I will be impressed when AI can create a 10 minute short that is coherent and I don't see that happening before 2050.

That’s awesome, why would we need the studios then? I can just generate my own movies. But until then maybe we can compensate actors fairly and the studios can also live on until we don’t need them anymore.

Yeah! I'm looking forward to seeing Bandernick Comberbush and Elozibeth Ilson in the next Dr. Strange movie. It's not like anything in the previous movies endeared me to those characters.
