You should be able to make a living off of your work because somebody else is making a living off of your work.

There are No Girls on the Internet as a production of IHeart Radio and Unbossed Creative.

I'm Bridget Todd, and this is There Are No Girls on the Internet.

It's been a summer of strikes.

And after days of bargaining last week, screenwriters are resuming negotiations with the alliance

of motion picture and television producers, or the AMPTP this week.

Today is the day of solidarity, where labor supporters from across unions and sectors all rallied

outside of Disney studios to show their reliance and unity. Because it's not just about Hollywood.

It's about an entire country of working people who are fed up with the dynamic where their

work is commodified to make

someone else rich. Americans from across industries and across the country are fighting for better

contracts, better compensation, better working conditions, and importantly, better protections

from encroaching technology like AI. Some of the clearest voices sounding the alarm about AI belongs to creatives.

Both striking actors and screenwriters want guardrails around how studios intend to use AI

in writer's rooms and on sets. And for actor and writer Francesca Ramsey, technology has been

kind of a double-edged sword. It's how she first started her career.

But now, she sees the way it's being positioned to threaten the entire industry.

My name is Prentreska, Ramsey, and I'm a TV writer, actress, and author, producer, contact creator, multi-hyphen-it.

Like, is that how you describe yourself?

Francesca kind of does it all.
