AI In Film | Mark Murphy Director

A I is the hot topic of 2023, is it going to replace us? Will we have an army of robots on the rampage, coming to wipe us out? Is it going to encourage fraud? Or is it going to make lives easier and advance the fields of science and medicine? Of course the film industry is no different, people are concerned it’s going to put them out of work in fact their strikes in America from the writers Guild of America are raising concerns about two things; one the streaming services not paying them residuals, and the concern that their jobs may not be safe if studio heads think they can just hire a bank of computers do write the scripts for them.

Now the latter is in no way realistic, can a computer come up with the creative subtleties to write a compelling story well? That being said, there are a lot of movies out there that are pretty poorly written, intended for the mass cheeseburger market, films based on a cookie cutter system structure with a consistent success rate, and that’s what AI can predict and work upon, although original concepts are yet to be seen.
