#AIArt is about to revolutionize #screenwriting! 🤯 As AI tools become more intuitive and easy to use, some think production companies might prioritize profit over storytelling & we'll be binging stunningly beautiful visuals paired with incredibly boring plots.. 🤔
A thread 🧵
1) We could be in for a wild ride here:
As with all technology, there is a risk of it being used in a way that strictly prioritizes profit. AI material might be used to create visually appealing stories that lack depth and originality
2) Yet AI will likely revolutionize screenwriting in a similar way it's currently enhancing visual expression and #AIArt!
Training models with dramaturgical data and narrative finesse is key. And it's already underway 💪 E.g. Dramatron, check @korymath's
3) Dramatron, enabling writers to co-create scripts with a @DeepMind language model, just released an exciting paper in which industry professionals evaluate co-creation of #screenplays with #AI. Quite the optimistic sentiment there 😊
4) Though #GPT3 + #Midjourney can already help with idea generation and movie concept creation ...
5) ... Dramatron's Chinchilla aims for a co-creation process that goes much deeper: from logline to character to story beats and plot, all this with an AI as creative, drama-trained co-author ... 🤯
Here's a technique for movie concept creation I currently experiment with:
Using #screenwriting devices to prompt #GPT3 for basic story ideas & plots and then using those to generate #midjourney#aiart images depicting key scenes, characters & settings...
Not only is this a huge time saver for #writers when brainstorming or trying out different dramatic scenarios, but you also get images that further spark your imagination...
... and this inspiration goes both ways: images create new approaches to dramaturgical twists or character development, and storytelling devices literally create new perspectives on the story 🤯
There are plenty of AI text-generation tools out there but they won't magically create stories for you. 🪄🖊
They are awesome for copy & marketing content, but their fictional stories are often basic, repetitive, sometimes contradicting & most importantly lacking YOUR style!
