Hmmm I am not sure the title matches the content of the article. As far as I can tell the WGA is quite open to writers using AI as a helpful writing Tool. What they are trying to limit is studios using AI as a tool to screw over writers.
For example, a studio could use an AI system to generate a short story and then ask the writer to adapt that, which significantly impacts the credits and renumeration the writer would receive for doing the entire writing process.

so how is this any different than asking someone to write a short story before asking someone else to adapt that? Why is having an AI in the loop any different?
