AI and Hollywood: Still A Work in Progress - Robot Writers AI

While AI-generated writing has yet to produce a movie script of any worth, Guardian film critic Steve Rose says start-ups are still angling to forge a tool that will. ScriptBook, for example, is developing an AI-generated writing tool that will suggest scenes for sci-fi movies when screenwriters get stuck. In the meantime, Hollywood is already using AI analytics to help predict which combinations of ideas, movie scripts and actors will translate into box office gold, according to Rose. Not surprisingly, Rose wonders where this is all going. "Could it be that by embracing AI, Hollywood is unwittingly building an equivalent of the Terminator movies' Skynet?" Rose observes.
