KI -Plünderungsskripte stellt eine direkte Bedrohung für den britischen Bildschirmsektor dar, sagt BFI

Obviously. „AI“ is nothing but plagiarism. But people don’t care, and won’t until there is literally no media except that produced by „AI“, and then they’ll complain that it’s all slop

AI certainly has „plundered“ a lot of scripts to learn how to write scripts, which means people who don’t know much above movies or scriptwriting can now get involved at a level that was previously not possible for them.

But we shouldn’t forget that generative AI is just one more technology that lowers the barriers to entry.

Sure, 90% of the time that happens it immediately leads to a wave of derivative, inferior quality content. But occasionally someone creates something brilliant, where previously they would never have had the opportunity.

It’s our job, as it has always been, to curate content so that the good stuff stands apart, and the dreck falls back into the pit from whence it came. That has always been the challenge, but it’s not an onerus one: frankly, sharing stuff we find good is something most people really enjoy.

Movies are going to be *fine*. Have you seen some of the shit that gets greenlit without AI? But every year, those forgettable films get forgotten, and what really speaks to us gets remembered. AI is not going to change that. There will be fewer jobs available in the industry in some places, but maybe more in others. It’s not like it won’t affect anyone. But it won’t make movies go away, or even reduce the number of good ones.

The same thing happened when music became easier to make and to distribute. But there are more people working in music than ever before, and more money being spent on it. There are, however, fewer rock stars and music execs.

It’s wild to me that we’ve seen the effects of the free-for-all on social media over the past decade, and have people thinking a free-for-all on A.I can only be a good thing.
