Screenwriters Concerned Over Artificial Intelligence in Hollywood
Fears and anxiety over the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in Hollywood have led to protests by TV and film screenwriters. The worry is that chatbots and other AI technologies will be used to write or rewrite scripts, which would result in a loss of jobs for human screenwriters.
The concern has arisen just six months after the release of ChatGPT, a generative AI that is already causing unease throughout Hollywood. The speed at which AI is being implemented in the industry means that writers and other professionals are having to adapt quickly to keep up with changes.
While AI has the ability to generate scripts quickly and accurately, the human element of screenwriting is still necessary to ensure emotional depth and creativity are present in the final product. Many screenwriters feel that AI technology cannot replicate the human experience as effectively as they can.
Despite these concerns, Hollywood continues to invest heavily in AI technology, with many studios using it for tasks such as casting and marketing. The future of AI in the industry is uncertain, but it is clear that screenwriters will need to adapt to new technologies in order to stay relevant.
