Can AI really threaten Hollywood? Are the jobs of writers and actors in trouble? AI has moved very quickly from the confines of tech labs into popular culture, causing significant disruption. Nowhere is this more evident than in Hollywood, where generative AI tools such as ChatGPT can draft scenes, suggest dialogue, and even produce entire story outlines in a matter of seconds.
Now, these systems work by analysing large amounts of existing written work and predicting likely word sequences, producing results that, at first sight, can appear coherent and creative. So, writers, actors and other creatives worry that studios might one day lean on these tools not just for assistance but for wholesale content creation.
