I saw almost no "raging" though? Yeah obviously concerned about the future of her profession and some difficult questions asked about IP theft and copyright, but that's about it?

Edit: There is some raging in the replies but it's twitter and everyone is raging on there.

There was some raging about Netflix using "AI" to generate backgrounds for a cartoon, but ultimately everyone will lose, including Netflix if this really is very automated, Almost anyone will soon be able to create a Netflix so I'll just cancel my subscription and watch free generated content uploaded to Youtube I guess?

What’s wrong with that?

I pretty much only watch people doing their thing on YouTube and I’m entertained enough. I have a couple years of tv shows I haven’t gotten around to watching because of YouTube peeps keeping me interested.

Nothing but it's interesting that while Netflix is pushing forwards to replace their staff with AI generated content, they're also pushing closer to a world where a large part of their value add is obsolete.
