As a writer, and particularly a screenwriter, I really don’t know what to make of this story. “A central London cinema has cancelled a private screening of a film which was entirely written using artificial intelligence (AI) following a public backlash.” The film, called The Last Screenwriter, had been ‘written’ entirely by ChatGBT, but was apparently axed after an audience backlash. Frankly, I’m not surprised: surely film, like all art, is by definition a human creation; the stories film is used to tell are human stories. Like my blog entries, I write scripts in an effort to tell others about my thoughts, feelings and experiences. A computer program cannot do that, so is it any wonder that an audience will reject such emotionally void pap?
