Talks bitterly broke off between Hollywood actors and studios late Wednesday, killing any hopes that the three-month strike by performers would come to an end anytime soon.
The studios announced that they had suspended contract negotiations, saying the gap between the two sides was too great to make continuing worth it, despite an offer as good as the one that recently ended the writers strike. The actors union decried their opponents’ “bullying tactics” and said they were wildly mischaracterizing their offers.
On Oct. 2, for the first time since the strike began July 14, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists had resumed negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents studios, streaming services and production companies in strike talks.
When negotiations resumed with writers last month, their strike ended five days later, but similar progress was not made with the actors union.

Both who? I wasn’t agreeing with OP. I was merely stating I don’t think the writers’ demands and the actors’ are the same across the board but please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

Not trying to start an argument here but if you reread my comment, my example was specifically about using AI to steal someone’s likeness; ie. something not likely to happen to a writer but very likely to be a concern for actors.
