Not sure if you read the article but in this specific instance I believe they are denouncing studios ability to copy their likeness and voice without their consent. Think deepfakes and simulated voices such as elevenlabs’ AI voice tool. That is something that is actively being tested and actors and voice actors want control of how their likeness and voice are used.
I think this is a reasonable and valid argument and should be protected.
I read the article but felt writing a "generic" comment about AI as various studios also wants to replace writers with AIs. I've been thinking about this for a long time.
I agree with your points. The term “AI” is a buzzword, and “machine learning” is the correct term for what most people consider things like chatGPT or Midjourney to be. I think it’s very important to differentiate between the different tools and not use a catchall term such as “AI” because this leads to widespread demonization of all tools that use machine learning when the truth is that some models are exploitative while others are not.
I think working towards accurate language should be a priority when litigating the use of machine learning but people also have a responsibility to do their due diligence in learning about what machine learning is and what it can do.
