Following her discussion on MSNBC, Bateman took to X (formerly Twitter) early Saturday to say that she plans to read the actual contract and not the summary so she can explain "the violating [AI] permissions the AMPTP will have over you. I'm very disappointed that the SAG leadership and committee did not take my guidance on the [AI] issues."

She added in her thread, "I've said from the beginning that the use of generative [AI] will collapse the structure of this business. I want the actors and crew to have enough self-respect to turn over a table and flip the CEOs off as it happens. They're going to leave you with nothing left to lose."

Later in the day, Bateman shared another thread on X to make actors "aware of some of the language in the [AI] portion of the tentative SAG agreement." After listing several points, she noted what she called "the most serious issue of them," which is the" inclusion in the agreement of ‘Synthetic Performers,' or ‘AI Objects,' resembling humans. This gives the studios/streamers a green-light to use human-looking AI Objects instead of hiring a human actor."

"It's one thing to use GAI to make a King Kong or a flying serpent (though this displaces many VFX/CGI artists), it is another thing to have an AI Object play a human character instead of a real actor," she added. "To me, this inclusion is an anathema to a union contract at all."
