Why The Screen Actors Guild Is Striking

There are more than one reason, but this one is pretty high in the ranking:

"....actors have expressed significant concerns with the potential use of artificial intelligence as a substitute for use of a performer's authentic appearance. AI poses an "existential threat" to actors' livelihoods, Crabtree-Ireland said."

While this concern is a reality today, in 1981 it was science fiction.

Written and directed by Michael Crighton, this film was about 40 years ahead of its time.

If you get a chance to watch it; do so. It's a great film in and of itself.
