In the age-old good vs evil story, is Artificial Intelligence cinema's new villain?

Media mogul Barry Diller urged all parties to reach a resolution by September 1 amid ongoing Hollywood strikes during a Sunday interview on'Face the Nation.' Since the publication of the Bible, good vs. evil has long been a universal theme in literature - and in Hollywood storytelling. But could the same perceived evil force, also be good? As of May 2 of this year, 11,500 Hollywood screenwriters, represented by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) have been on strike over a three-pronged fight that boils down to money, autonomy, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The writers are asking for increased and commensurate pay, for a guaranteed number of writers per room, and for regulated use of artificial intelligence in the writing process.
