Hollywood's Screenwriters Are Right to Fear AI

One of the more harrowing reads for writers concerned about artificial intelligence encroaching on their livelihoods is a study commissioned by OpenAI itself. Published in March, it places writers in the "fully exposed" category. This means that, according to OpenAI, a large language model (LLM) could reduce the time it takes for them to carry out their work by at least 50 percent. AI can already score in the 93rd percentile on SAT reading exams; it can already produce bad stories and poems. Directors are discussing the possibilities of AI-generated scripts.
