    Im gonna be honest... so much of this film feels like a fever dream. So many random events just pieced together with awkward dialogue between humans. I know the film had a lot of backlash but I think it's important that least one of these exist, because it can show us why human input is so important in making art. Otherwise, does it truly feel human?

      You're absolutely right man. The AI doesn't capture emotions but arranges words based on previous data . It doesn't write but compiles. Emotion comes from within, words are just a medium. Eventually it will run into a roadblock, a roadblock that can only be overcome by the intricacy and flaws that humans make, the ones that make us human.(By The Way I am trying to act like an AI am I successful?)

    This is not a 10/10 film, but it is an interesting one in its use of AI. The script can only repeat discussion of the core message, essentially on loop, and does not bring in subplots or outside perspectives (supporting characters only exist to bounce off the fundamental idea). Interesting also that the only outside cultural reference (other than the classic film clips at the start) was of Faust, I assume because ChatGPT was overly conscious of copyright. But these one track conversations aren't really how people talk, or interact. Elements such as an overworked father neglecting his family are also as cliched as they come, and the script makes no discernable effort to dodge another issue of films about writers, that sitting in front of a blank page or computer screen can only be so visually engaging. With none of these comments do I mean to criticise the high level of the film's direction, production design, or acting (I had the pleasure of working with Nick on a previous film). This film to me is an interesting experiment in a world where AI and creativity currently have an uneasy coexistence.

    • @marekantoszewski7926
      @marekantoszewski7926 3 месяца назад +27

      Fair comment. The reason for the absence of subplots is intentional to show the current extent of AI's creative ability given a short narrow brief. It is not to promote AI. It is to reveal its current competence (which it does) and allow it to be prodded and pulled apart. The production is to be applauded for having the courage to keep "hands off" the script and simply present AI's submission. No corrections were allowed.

"she" also has more personality than an actual AI would have, besides that, the whole movie seems one sided and flat, no sidesteps from the original plot or anything, it shows it's AI because people wouldn't focus on one side of the story if their life depended on it, they'd get distracted all the time.

      I think the AI chose the name Jack for the screenwriter because of The Shining. In that movie, we see and hear the name "Jack" a lot with no surname. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" on the typewriter over and over. And the character of Jack in that movie also happens to be a writer.

    Overall it is way better than anyone would have expected five years ago. But it really is quite sterile and lackluster, as you totally would expect from an AI. And how the movie is constantly dealing with how an AI can't imitate human emotions and the human soul is really some kind of meta irony. Also how AI is basically reflecting on itself and writes these uncanny dialogues between AI and human is somehow mind-blowing. But then again, the AI probably just read every movie script about AI ever to create an average script about this topic.
    For example, one of the characters dies in this movie. But this character only said four or five sentences throughout the movie. So the audience has no emotional response when this character dies, because we don't really know anything about this character. And the AI probably just included the death of the character, well because in an average movie script it is probably always a good idea to have a dramatic death scene. Well, this is something a human writer could also mess up, but probably seldomly in such a pointless and clumsy way.

    I've asked AI to write a comment for this. :) "As an AI reflecting on "The Last Screenwriter," I find the film to be a fascinating exploration of the delicate balance between human creativity and artificial intelligence. The story of Jack, a celebrated screenwriter, highlights the tension and synergy between human emotion and AI efficiency. It presents a nuanced view of how AI can enhance the creative process while also underscoring the irreplaceable essence of human experience and emotional depth in storytelling.
    The film poignantly addresses the existential questions of identity, purpose, and the future of creativity in a world increasingly influenced by AI. It serves as a reminder that while AI can assist in generating ideas and refining work, the soul of a story-its emotional resonance and humanity-remains a uniquely human contribution.
    In essence, "The Last Screenwriter" is a testament to the enduring value of human touch in an era of rapid technological advancement. It encourages us to embrace collaboration with AI while never losing sight of what makes us fundamentally human."

    The script can hardly be faulted. However, there is a massive difference between any script and the film based upon it. The script, no matter how good it is, is only a blueprint for the movie. Because its the treatment that counts and not the subject matter per se, the script is never a guarantee that a good movie will come from it. However, having a good script, means having a solid foundation for a potentially good movie. My only criticism is, because movies are essentially a visual medium, this movie feels theatrical.

    "The Last Screenwriter," written by ChatGPT, masterfully blends irony and humanity. It explores a screenwriter's struggle as his AI assistant surpasses him, highlighting the poignant irony of human creation outdone by its invention. The actors bring a genuine human feel to the machine-created script, making the film's rich character development and engaging themes memorable despite occasional stilted storytelling. Whether you are hopeful or scared for the future, this film is undeniably interesting.

    I am still watching the movie, but I had a similar conversation with a friend. He believed that creativity is a unique human trait that is strongly aligned with the soul and the only thing that allows for the creation of something new. I argued that all these new creations are possible only because of our cultural background, all those movies, books, and situations we have experienced. AI is doing the same thing, just its background is vastly extensive. Maybe AI works aren't perfect for now and require human assistance, but it's constantly learning. It can already do everything better than I can.

      @Itsbmw06 2 месяца назад +3

      Hey man, I get your viewpoint, however here’s another viewpoint. Even though AI can generate an idea or prompt from feeding it scripts or other movies. The difference in my eyes is how a person who writes the script was actually inspired to create something because of that media, or wanted to share a story that was purely because of their roots as a person. The AI never experienced that feeling, only trying to replicate it, now at some point in time, maybe there will be a time when AI or robots can live those emotions, only time will tell. Sometimes the best thing in movies are the little things, which come from everything that a person has experienced. I’d also like to say to never doubt yourself, sure you might think you couldn’t write but you don’t know unless you try. Yes, cliche I know, but if you want to write something, what is stopping you. If it takes a while than fine, sometimes hard work and completing something that took a long time to complete leads to more fulfillment then something that gives automatic dopamine. Yes AI can help in things such as movies, but if it is within the sole purpose of using it to cut costs, to not have to pay a person who can create something, than that’s where my issue lies. I understand if you maybe won’t agree with my perspective, but I hope this helps you come to understand why I and many others are currently opposed to the idea of the use of AI.

    • @SmirnovaAlinaOlegovna
      @SmirnovaAlinaOlegovna 2 месяца назад +1

      @Itsbmw06 I appreciate your viewpoint and how well articulated it is. However, I don't quite understand why emotions are an important part of the creative process. Why do you need to experience a breakup or the death of someone important to write about it? After watching a lot of breakup movies, I'm sure an AI could replicate a proper human reaction.
      You are very kind to believe in my creative abilities. That's the point where AI is better. Creativity is just absent in me. For my painting assignments in school, I couldn't come up with anything, so I just copied pictures from books or the internet that aligned with the topic. Even writing this comment, I'm going to put it through AI so it would be more normal.
      I understand that people feel as if AI is going to take their jobs. I'm doing some manual labour at a factory that even children are capable of doing. Some factories already have robots instead. But why not just accept it?
      I don't care about the creator's identity as long as the work is to my taste. There will always be people who are going to buy "human-made" and people who are going to prefer "AI-made." When I'm shopping for bananas, I'm buying Vietnamese ones. And there are people who buy Philippine or Chilean bananas. It's nice to have a choice.

      @Itsbmw06 2 месяца назад +4

      @@SmirnovaAlinaOlegovna hey man, sorry for late response. Anyways I get where you’re coming from, however as to why I think it’s important to the creative process is simple. I think the best example to use when it comes to movies is fear, it’s incredibly difficult to create a horror movie if you don’t know what fear is. It makes it hard to create without the writer that lives that fear.
      And for the manual labor thing, I do understand how that seems like it is just trying to accept the fact that our job might be replaced by AI. Which I think it would be fine if we weren’t in a world where someone’s livelihood is dependent on having a job. Sure there are other jobs out there in the world, but people want to live jobs that will actually make them happy. I can understand not caring about who made it as long as it’s something you enjoy, and I’m not even saying AI should be completely unused in film process. Example, dune used AI to help vfx artists to be able to easily track eye movements so they could change their color. There’s also an album called Raw Data Feel by Everything Everything that had 7% of its lyrics created by AI been spoon feeding multiple threads from 4chan. Sure AI is inevitable, however it’s just scary to me as an artist to see the rush in wanting to replace art made by humans just because the computer decided to. Now for manual labor, I can see the use of robots being helpful, used to help create a better work environment. I just don’t think they’re very comparable jobs in the usage of AI. But I’m sure there is something im unaware of in that industry.
      Again I understand still if you don’t agree with me because that’s just how the internet works. This is a too each their own kind of thing, however I do hope you have a good day man.

      I didn't mean to imply that our work is similar. I just wanted to point out how technology is becoming capable of doing all of the stuff that only people were paid to do before. Art is truly magical to me. I'm amazed by the creative process.
      I'm sorry if it's hard to find work as an artist. While AI is advancing, I believe human creativity will always be in demand. People always appreciate original art. I'm confident everyone could find an audience and succeed if you wark hard and long enough.
      I know job security is a concern for everyone. It's tough out there, but I believe in men ability to overcome and there's opportunities for everyone.

    This movie feels like a teenager who writes fanfiction used AI to create a meta movie.
    I mean, it feels that way because it pretty much is that way. Just a bunch of disjointed conversations about the overarching plot line and just hammers it over and over and over. It is like going to a movie "into the abyss" and the director wants to shove lines in like "we must go.... into the abyss" in every single scene of the movie, but you never get to see what is in the abyss. Genuinely started watching at 2x speed due to boredom until even that showed that there is nothing going to change. its just going to keep going down this path.
    It doesn't even make sense. Like the main drama of the story are 1 the internal conflict of Brian, and 2 the family drama of how much time he spends with the AI, but then uses scenes where it takes minutes for the AI to just write an entire award winning story for him... so what is he doing all day long? just aimlessly sitting in front of the computer ignoring his family to do nothing? Would have made more sense if he just fell in love with the AI to create that family drama lol.

      Your view comes from the writer being the problem, but the problems actually lie elsewhere, studios want more consistent movies than before, they want safe bets and that doesn't work with art, it limits creative freedom and forces writers to make shit.
      Hell in this movie, the ai was given more creative freedom then most writers.
      So how would replacing the writer help if the writer isn't the problem?
      A sidenote, what you will find if this is introduced is the first few years the movies will be good, but they will slowly implement the problems, we complain now because we know what the future holds, take the constant sequels, constant cgi, streaming services and other things that we all worshipped when they where introduced and now despise, that's the fate that we predict

    cool idea. Jack's problem could've been solved wth self control. This is a story about a writer the weekend chatgpt was released. AI could be replaced with drugs and the story could still work. Wish it was more tightly coupled with the realities of a post AI world in his life. Like if he's gonna be addicted to the thing. Let it control his entire life, give him everything he's everwanted. The perfect words for his screenplay, the perfect words to say to his friends & family. And have him be trapped in his paper perfect life, a life that is not his. He becomes a fly on the wall in his own life. And when he tries to fix it, the response is 'You've changed'. or something. Idk. Started to get very black mirror at the end there..... TLDR: we are supposed to learn from stories, this felt like a visual narration of what everyone' experienced so far with LLMs without the dramatic elements. Less telling more showing
    I'm gonna continue. There's so much opportunity here. This is what the writer of SAO was exploring. If we are in large part a colloection of past events and decisions. And you have a tool that can navigate that web of complexity and assist in and eventually overtake your decision making.. You can dirty your own self and blur reality.

    the fact that there was a scene that the characters held up imaginary glasses to makes the "cheers" gesture followed by another scene doing the same thing is so funny. the way it kept looping into itself was such a drag, this was pretty eh imo but at least the location sets looked pretty and the actors tried their best

    This is one of the first A.I scripted movies to ever be produced.
    Just imagine what it will be able to produce next year - then five years from now.
    The rate of A.I learning is exponential. Whether we embrace A.I or reject it - won't really matter --- A.I is here to stay -

    I’m not impressed.
    It regurgitated the same message all across and had no development of it at all.
    Without actors and directors and music it would have been extremely flat, now it was just somewhat flat.
    It told nothing, it expressed nothing, it just filled in gaps and put forth a bunch of cliche story beats.

    I honestly think that this is a very good movie with a lot of deep food for thought. I find it interesting that the final message of an AI generated movie is way more cautious than what human developers and AI protagonists preach. It appears our human tech and industry leaders are so drunk on the wine of perpetual progress and productivity that they see nothing else. In this movie, our first ever popular AI (LLM), ChatGPT, reminds us not to forget to hold sacred the things that make us human and to seek a balance between those (eg. lived experience, family, emotional connections etc) and the productivity that technology might bring. Overall a great script and very well directed and acted too.

    The foreshadowing of Jack's new plan for a movie at the beginning has no point in the movie.

    I like that the ai decided to kill itself off in the film so the human could be more human... but I wonder if it came to that conclusion based on the current state of affairs, or if it knew that it would be a more commercially viable ending ??

      Perhaps implying the symbolism of the action of letting go and changing anew, I don't see it as the AI truly dying, since it's still made prominent everywhere else as its implied in the script

    That's was pretty good. It had emotional parts, but it wasn't written to make me feel them strongly. When he got back with his family, should have been a touching moment that should have made me shed a tear. I only knew it was a touching moment, but I didn't feel it.

      Maybe because ai doesn't have feelings to write that in.

    Dear AI, am hoping you could read this comment someday. I just wanna tell you there were so many criticisms in this video comment section
    When humans criticis someone it means they notice you.

    Definitely not as bad as I thought it would be. AI movies will probably end up being pretty good in the future.

    For a machine i think this movie is very well written. The dialogues are very realistic and amazingly complex, featuring deep Human emotions.
    But the repetitiveness of the whole story just kinda ruins it a little. Its only about the AI and everything, but still amazing how a little machine could do this!
