    Anecdotally, I've had more writers (screenwriters and copywriters) tell me they're using ChatGPT than programmers. I think people here might underestimate how big a deal it is in "the real world".

    If we look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_films_of_2022 The top ten highest grossing films are all franchise movies. So that looks like a good indication of hat the public wants to watch. If you

    As well as just being an awful take in general, this is a staggeringly inappropriate take on the Rushdie situation.
