If you worked hard to get a degree from a prestigious college, and worked hard to get to the place where your skills were valued and used to generate value (script-writing in this case), and suddenly AI is taking lots of jobs so you're doing AI-review gig work, you'd be angry too.

It's the equivalent of losing your job and having to run DoorDash to pay the bills.

All the while you're being lied to with promises that this will somehow set you free to "work on your own terms".

That's fine if you are gainfully employed and want to earn some extra cash, but not if that's all you have.

This is just the next step in the gig economy, which strips away rights and security from employees and hands profits to employers.
