What would accelerate the use of AI in movies even more would be not striking.
Not sure if the strikes in the US have any effect on the spread of AI in film making (aside from making more creators aware of the AI option). The US is important for the industry, but far from dominant. Even if the AI script writers are somehow completely banned in the US, they will still be used in the EU, China, India, etc.
Additionally, there is Youtube and other places where anyone can publish their own AI-written movie, and profit from it (and if it’s exceptionally good, the movie or some derivative could end up on the big screen, if one bothers to pursue that).
The AI can help with the writing process, but it is a hack and it will remain a hack until after we have bigger problems than protecting scriptwriting jobs.
A few months ago, GPT4 wrote the best science fiction novella I’ve read in years, and it was written without agents etc. Just the plain vanilla ChatGPT web interface.
I also watched the episode of the South Park fully created by AI, and I rate it as in the top 10% episodes of the show.
This indicates that the much more formulaic art of scriptwriting is already solvable at a superhuman level with GPT4, if someone spends a weekend or two on automating and polishing the process (e.g. a step-by-step iterative process like this).
So, let ’em strike. They’are already obsolete, even if they don’t know that yet.
