Still can't believe AI is now considered browser/text editor level basic infrastructure on every major operating system besides Linux. Despite the ecological harm, lack of compensation to writers/artists, lack of real demand outside Wall Street/some tech circles, and the results being poorly written text/ugly artwork?

yep... Hollywood's still strip-mining nostalgia for endless remakes (even if in-name-only ones), but apparently running out of big-name stuff for such. "The Fall Guy" was a TV show on ABC from 1981-1986, starring Lee Majors:

"Now, after an unremarkable April at the movies, theater owners are anxiously waiting for “The Fall Guy,” an action comedy starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt,” to kick off popcorn season on May 3.
“As one of the quietest weekends of the past 12 months, the official start of the summer movie season can’t get here soon enough,” says senior Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian."
So Hollywood's eagerly awaiting... a movie based on a now-obscure early 80s TV show?
