The WGA settlement allows the studios to train AI on scripts written by WGA writers as long as writers are paid. Writers will also be credited and paid on scripts that were generated by AI tools.
Looks like generative AI isn’t going away in Hollywood and instead a model for paying writers whose work is trained on generative AI is where they landed. I expect this will repeat across almost every industry.
@carnage4life @hannu_ikonen That’s giving the game away.
And I wonder if writers get paid when the AI trains on the second-order scripts written by the AIs trained on the writers’ work. They’re just one script generation from being irrelevant.
@carnage4life Studios really leaning in to the idea that all their stuff is derivative.
Large data models will not make the next hundred Marvel movies better. They will not make season 10 of the Mandalorian better. They might be able to write a seasons worth of episodes, but they will be recycled hot garbage.
It only makes sense to use "AI" on scripts if you care so little about the end product that you don't have writers at all.
