📱 AI Instead of Screenwriters: Forecasts from Netflix CEO, New AI Streaming Series, and The Last of Us
Ted Sarandos, one of the executives at Netflix, is not concerned about the implementation of AI in the film industry. In an interview with the New York Times, he called AI a natural stage in the evolution of the creative industry and expressed doubt that AI would take away jobs from screenwriters and directors.
Two key points from the interview:
1️⃣ A Tool for Increased Efficiency. Screenwriters, directors, and editors will use AI as a tool to work more efficiently and effectively. Just as computer animation did not replace hand-drawn animation, AI will help create what was previously impossible. Every new achievement in the industry leads to its development.
2️⃣ AI Won't Take Your Job. It won't be able to write a script better than a great writer. AI won't take your job, but a person who knows how to use AI might.
⭐ AI-Netflix
Last week, San Francisco startup Fable Studio launched an AI streaming platform called Showrunner. All content on it is created by generative AI, and users can create new episodes themselves. The service already has a waiting list of 50,000 people. You can watch a free episode of the animated series "Exit Valley," which humorously portrays life in Silicon Valley, similar to the style of "South Park."
🍄 The Last of Us Scandal
"The Last of Us," an HBO series based on the hit video game, has received rave reviews from both critics and fans. Neil Druckmann, the main developer of the game, recently sparked controversy after discussing the role of AI in video game storytelling during an interview:
1️⃣ Thanks to AI, we are reducing costs while simultaneously opening up the possibility of tackling bolder projects and pushing the boundaries of storytelling in games.
2️⃣ AI will allow for more realistic dialogues and characters. However, it is important to use these tools purposefully to achieve specific goals.
The praise for AI as a game scriptwriter sparked criticism from fans of The Last of Us and Druckmann's colleagues. Many commentators emphasized that the success of The Last of Us is due to the work of screenwriters, not AI. Shortly after the interview, Sony removed the conversation, citing errors, and Druckmann apologized, stating that his words had been misunderstood.
