A Month On, Relatives Still Search For Earthquake Victims In Turkey
The rise of AI programs like ChatGPT has triggered a tidal wave of ethical handwringing, most prominently from within the industries that it
threatens to destroy. After all, just because you can get a robot to instantly write code or write contracts or provide customer support for free,
should you? Well, the answer from the Writers Guild of America is a qualified yes. This week, the Writers Guild of America proposed that
ChatGPT would absolutely be allowed to write scripts in the future, provided that the credit (and the money) goes to the human writer who came
up with the prompts in the first place.
In return, ChatGPT instantly came up with a science fiction action blockbuster called The Last Hope. The first paragraph of the outline reads: “In
the near future, Earth is facing a catastrophic event caused by a series of natural disasters that have devastated the planet. The world’s
governments have been unable to find a solution to the crisis, and the survival of humanity is now in jeopardy. A team of scientists and engineers
come together to develop a last-ditch effort to save the planet. They build a spacecraft, the Last Hope, that will travel through a wormhole to a
distant planet that has been identified as potentially habitable.”
So it’s Interstellar, basically. But better, hopefully, since that film only made $600m globally and I want to make billions. And this is where
ChatGPT actually comes in useful. The outline it provided stated: “As they near their destination, the team discovers a dark secret that threatens
not only their mission but the fate of humanity itself.” But that’s too vague, so I asked a follow-up question, wanting it to explain this dark secret.
And it did:
This is instantly more interesting, and points to a future where programs like ChatGPT don’t actually write movies, but generate plot ideas that
could help human screenwriters out of trouble. However, there are still limitations. Buoyed by the possibility of its suggestions, I asked for casting
suggestions, and it offered Chris Hemsworth, Brie Larson and John Boyega. Larson, it said, would play a doctor called Rachel Patel, so I asked it
for some sample dialogue. It gave me a short scene in which Hemsworth visits Larson and tells her that he thinks he’s sprained his arm. Her
response is: “Let me see. You’re right, it’s sprained. I’ll wrap it up for you.” With lines as dull as this, my dreams of becoming a billionaire faded
away to nothing. Time to switch things up.
It’s getting harder and harder to make money from the movie business anyway, but scoring some sweet silverware isn’t an impossible feat. My
next prompt was simple: “Write me an Oscar-winning movie.” And this time, ChatGPT didn’t let me down.
