Comment on Netflix uses AI effects for first time to cut costs

I mean, they’ve been using “AI” to write scripts for at least a couple of years (Hot Frosty and The Gray Man were obviously not thought nor written by a human, for example), so I guess this was inevitable.
How things are made matter just as much as the thing itself. People who can’t understand this simple fact are half the reason our environment is being destroyed.
If the end result is all that matters, there are a ton of unimaginable horrors that could be done.

Wasn’t The Gray Man based on a book? Yeah it was… not good, but is there evidence of AI in the script?

Well, the only evidence I found at a quick glance is that the movie was released about four months before ChatGPT. And it had been in production since about 2020 which is obviously way before LLMs became a widespread.
So I think that’s a strong case it wasn’t written by AI.

“Chat GPT, write the script for a movie lasting about 90 minutes based on ‘The Gray Man’, pronto!”

That’s not really evidence… humans can write shitty scripts too.
If there were evidence amd they didn’t disclose it, it would be a huge scandal considering protections against AI was a huge part of the 2023 strike.

There’s shitty and “even an illiterate schizophrenic can write something better”. But of course that’s not evidence, lol, it’s just my hopeful speculation!
