Let's hope Tilly Norwood signed with an agent because Paul Schroeder there seems to be only a blueprint for Hollywood's growing dependence on AI.
The Oscar nominee recently said he expects films to feature “more and more artificial intelligence” in the coming years, noting that he's read “a perfect script where all the elements of artificial intelligence are implemented” and even supported the idea of reviews written by artificial intelligence.
“I think the first AI feature is only two years away,” Schroeder said. Vanity Fairadding, “I was just talking to someone on the phone about my script and I said, 'You know, this would be the perfect script for all AI.'
Defending his position, Schroeder said AI is “just a tool,” explaining: “When you're an author, you have to describe someone's reaction. You use a code – you use a code of words, a certain number of letters, etc., and you express a facial reaction. The actor has his own code. Well, now you're a pixelator, and you can create a face, and you can create an emotion on a face, and you can sculpt it the same way an author sculpts a reaction in a novel or a story.”
When asked if he had read a movie review written by artificial intelligence, Schrader admitted that he believed the technology would serve as the most impartial critic, despite his early years of reviewing movies. Meanwhile, AI is not capable of forming opinions.
“Well, as you should know, AI is taking over film lighting. AI is lighting better than average,” he said. “And the AI doesn't have to favor anyone. Often when you're covering events, you get a hint that the person paying you wants you to like it. You can't pass that information on to the AI.”
Of course, Schroeder admitted: “But of course we can teach [AI] be biased.”
Oh Canada The writer and director has previously preached the gospel of artificial intelligence, saying he “STUNNED” by scripts collected by ChatGPT when he asked for “an idea for a Paul Schrader movie” and also used other directors for suggestions.
“Every idea ChatGPT came up with (in a few seconds) was good. And original. And fleshed out,” Schroeder wrote in January. “Why should writers sit for months searching for a good idea when AI can come up with one in seconds?”
