HBO's CEO, Casey Bloys, is against the idea of AI being used in show-making, stating its creative process should be left to humans. He warns that if it becomes commonplace, he won't be around to witness it. Succession's Jeremy Strong shared Bloys's doubts, stating that AI can't adapt to things changing on set. It's unclear whether AI will play a role in showbiz, but for now, HBO won't be using it in their productions.

As the Writers Guild of America strike for a better deal in terms of working conditions and income, networks are refusing to compromise. Adam Conover, a comedy writer, proposed that AI should not be used as a tool to adapt content and have it still be considered a writer's work. Nonetheless, The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers refused to discuss such proposal and only offered a yearly meeting to talk about "advances in technology". This shows that the entertainment industry need fair and reasonable regulations for the usage of AI. The writers should also get paid their fair share knowing the huge amount of work they put into the content creation.
