So Tyler Perry had been planning to expand Tyler Perry Studios, um, allegedly for about 4 years now. Um, so he had a plan to expand an $800 million studio expansion, um, and basically he has put it on hold. $800 million. So basically what happened is he was going to have some of this expansion revolving around AI. Um, do we need any more technology taking our places?
Yes, I see it as it will put some people out of work, like when the music industry went to streaming. It's going to put some people out of work. That's what automation does. We used to have elevator operators. There are a whole bunch of jobs that we used to have that we no longer have.
I honestly feel like this is a way for Tyler Perry to be cheap.
