I imagine most of the new dialog on TV & theaters is heavily AI assisted. Still human edited and curated though.

- shiandow 3y agoCompared to all the effort that goes into a series or film writing the dialogue seems like a relatively small amount of effort. Except for stuff that is clearly low effort in the first place.
- swatcoder 3y agoTo what end? Studios could have replaced the expensive professional writing talent they compete to hire with cheaper and worse writers already, even while staying on good terms with the WGA. Yet they were making a choice to pay lots of money to people who were charging more. There's a reason for that! Writing is not a cost center for modern production and trimming that cost gets you little except a much higher risk of generating garbage that doesn't work for your audience. Studios pay talent for reliability, consistency, and team compatability -- and that's worth quite a lot to them. Might generative AI have a place in film/TV writing eventually? Maybe. But it's going to take a lot more than what current LLM's deliver. You're a decade ahead of yourself. There are mediums that likely are moving towards content generatirs, but film/TV just isn't going to be one of them for a while. They just don't really need what it currently offers.
- BryanLegend 3y agoI guess I'm of the opinion that most of the writing in Hollywood recently has been total crap.
