This article is weak for so many reasons (mentioned my others), but I'll just point out this nonsense:
> Netflix could buy 10 top quality screenplays per year with the cash they’ll spend on that one job [$900k]. They must have big plans for AI.
Most films Netflix makes have a budget of over $5M. According to the WGA agreement with the studios writers get paid a MINIMUM of $175k for those films. Which means you could buy 5 of the cheapest screenplays on the market for $900k. But if you think paying WGA minimums will get you top quality scripts you're in for a surprise.
