Hello Dr. Wildman,

I’m a producer in film/ TV. As a test, we inputted a basic logline for a feature film we’re producing for a well established studio that is just a pitch at the moment. Incredibly, ChatGPT produced the best pitch based on a two sentence logline than about 90% of the most expensive writers in the business. This included well orchestrated characters and descriptions, beats, and even jokes based on the specific content that were actually funny. For years, we assumed AI could never replace a creative field.

Collectively, we worried not only for writers in the business, but executives across the board. A plausible future could be “screenplay by Netflix”, with maybe a hired executive or writer for all small touch ups.

There are upcoming negotiations between the WGA and the studios. While the guilds have decided not to include AI in these contracts, with the advancements just within the past month, there is an argument for this possibly being the most important element to include.

Do you believe within the next few years, it could be a possibility that if implementations aren’t in place now, we could see creative businesses dependent on AI? If so, are there solutions used to potentially get ahead of this? Thank you.

Found it here. Tweaked a little bit of asks based on the concept

Believe what you’d like. I’m telling you from this particular experience the results were surprising comparatively. Based on industry wide cost saving measures, saving 2M on development fees to have a bad first draft is nothing to snuff at.

Edit: Bad first draft to finance a rewrite.

I’m hoping the guild implements a temporary hold on any AI implementation, and that guild writers can not work on any material developed by an AI, nor can solutions be used generated by AI, to prevent studios from, in the short term, being able to use AI for written material.
