What Happened

If you watched all the way to the end of the new Apple TV show “Pluribus,” you may have noticed an unusual disclaimer in the credits: “This show was made by humans.”

Our Take

This is hilarious. Vince Gilligan made a TV show and felt compelled to put a disclaimer saying *humans* did it. That's not a flex — that's defensive credibility.

The fact that creators now have to swear they weren't replaced by AI tells you the hype has jumped the shark. It's not because Vince used AI; it's because everyone's so paranoid that explicit disclaimers are now required.

Genius marketing, honestly. Nothing says 'watch my show' like arguing with the internet about whether I made it.

What To Do

If you create anything, get ahead of this and clearly explain your process before paranoid discourse does it for you.
