    Yeah, we need human writers! I don’t think AI can turn great books into shitty movies as well as actual writers. AI scripts sound like a real gain, IMO.

      Questions for everybody else:

      1. Who actually thinks like this?

      2. Why are big Lemmy instances allowing obvious shills to concern troll and forum slide on their servers?

        Well, for one, I think like this. And given the upvote, at least one other person does as well. And six others disagree. Which is fine with me, by the way, people can disagree and be civilized about it.

        As for “obvious shills and trolls” - just because I like the technology and dislike current writers, I’m a troll? With thinking like this you should perhaps go live in a totalitarian state, cause that’s how they roll - “you’re either with us or you’re bad”.

        Can you pretty please let me have my opinion?

          Why do you expect AI to write better scripts than “current writers”? Do you believe than humans are incapable of good writing, and we need AI to finally make the first good art to ever exist?

            Not first good art, no, there are many great movies. It’s usually when people who are famous enough to do whatever are the directors (Tarantino, Nolan). But the usual crap? All the unimaginative movies and TV shows? Botching good books by not understanding the source material at all? That’s most of the writers and that’s who I think should be replaced by AI. We were doing a presentation on capabilities of AI recently and one sentence my colleague came up with sums it up: AI is not some super smart thing, it’s like millions of average people who can think really fast.

              Again, why would you expect AI to write better stories than humans?

              If hollywood churns out trash it’s because producers want trash. The AI will just help them churn out trash cheaper.

              So how will AI fix this?

          Well, for one, I think like this.

          Then I have no reason to take you seriously. Goodbye.
