york. thanks for staying with us. hundreds of film and television actors joined the picket line as the hollywood strike shut down productions from coast-to-coast. the issues range from the effects of streaming services on the entertainment industry, to the use of artificial intelligence to create fake actors and computer-generated scripts. tracy smith has the story. >> reporter: it's a showstopper all right. both the writers guild of america and the screen actors guild are on strike, and hollywood is effectively shut down. the last time this happened was in 1960, when ronald reagan was president of the actors union, "the apartment" was best picture, and the actors were holding out for more money in the form of residuals shown on tv. 63 years later, with the industry facing severe economic headwinds, rising cost and shrinking movie attendance, the
3:42 am
unions are again pushing for better pay, but this time with streaming and other platforms disrupting the industry they're also looking for some guarantees that new trechnologies like artificial intelligence or ai won't ruin their careers. some cbs staff are sag-aftra members but aren't affected by the strike. the actors joined the writers on friday. when they announce they had were going to strike, there was, as you might imagine, a whole lot of drama. >> we are the victims here. >> reporter: fran drescher. >> i am shocked by the way the people that we have been in business with are treating us. >> reporter: the group at that represents the studios, the alliance of motion picture and television producers or amptv, didn't respond to our request to appear on camera but issued a
3:43 am
statement saying that it present add de presented a deal. with a ground break ai deal. they said the union has regrettably chosen a path that will lead to financial hardship for hundreds of,000 thousands oe who rely on the industry. and it seems neither side is ready to back down. union president and former nani fran drescher greeted the troops in front of the netflix offices. she stopped long enough to tell us what she thought of the people who run the studios. >> we being systematically squeezed out of our livelihoods. >> reporter: and for studio whose say it's unrealistic what
3:44 am
you're asking? >> what the hell are we doing? we're all going down unless we rescue ourselves right here and now from people that really are doing bad things to good people. >> reporter: the writers union is in much the same boat. they w watched theheir payee ron the era of streaming tv. >> you cannot turn down $50 for a $6 ride? >> reporter: a staff of writers for "seinfeld" would typically stay with the show throughout production which could mean years of steady paychecks. now streaming has cut the number of writers for each show and the length of time they're hired. in other words, it's harder than ever for them to make a living. comedian carol leafer wrote for seinfeld. that's her behind the rececepti desk.. >> you o owe 15050. > whatt for? > well, youu cananceled on tuesdaday. anand our p policy i is 24 hour
3:45 am
notice for all cancellations. >> reporter: she remembers the old system of pay and residuals, the money they get for reruns, and they're fighting to get some of it back. >> i worked on seinfeld 30 years ago, and i'm still receiving residuals from that. it's gone now. it's a very, very different world that way. >> reporter: in today's environment, do you think you could launch the career the way you did back then, does that make sense? >> i don't. >> reporter: you don't? >> no. because they don't make enough. >> reporter: the studios say they've offered writers the largest pay increase in decades, but writers say it's still well below what they deserve. john august and yalen chang are writers. >> they said that the increase that they offered the writers guild is the largest increase they've offered new writers in 25 years? >> mm-hm. >> reporter: and that's not enough? >> if someone steals your wallet and give $5 back, you're not $5
3:46 am
richer, they still stole your wallet. that's what it feels like for the writers. can you give us some of that money back but it'ss not makini us whole. >> reporter: then there's the matter of artificial intelligence programs. actors don't want their likeness used without their consent. and they want a guarantee that they won't be used to generate scripts, because they say quality will suffer. >> you'll see unoriginal, mediocre, bad stuff, because ai has never held a baby. ai has never fallen in of lo. y love. so you'll end up with something stolen and pretty bad. >> reporter: studios say they're willing to talk about the use of ai but have not ruled it out. if it's cheaper for chatgpt to write a show, what's the incentive for studios to even bargain with the writers? >> that's exactly the core of the issue here.
3:47 am
>> reporter: professor robert reich was labor secretary under president clinton. >> what's incentive of cross examie ceos to negotiate when they can be replaced with ai or other technology, and the answer is we have a country in which we depend on people having enough money to buy all the stuff that all the companies create. and if they don't have enough money m tin their pockets to bu everything capable off created, t economy can't function. we are all in this together. >> reporter: and for most of the picketers we spoke with, money was main issue. jeanniebe jeannie bergens had a number of shows. >> for the first time i've had to apply for the food stamp
