More than 11,000 screenwriters went on strike in Hollywood this week. One of their demands is that studios strictly limit their use of artificial intelligence.
Studios may not use the work of existing authors to train the AI models, and AI may not be used to rewrite or regenerate source material.
But is it already too late to prevent that? In addition to text generators such as ChatGPT and image generators such as Dall-E, the next wave of artificial intelligence can also produce videos. Several developers have already used systems like Runway’s Gen-2 to create short clips for the web.
London production company privateisland.tv produced this somewhat disturbing beer commercial:
Reddit user Pizza Later made an equally creepy pizza ad:
On Twitter he listed all the systems used:
Full Breakdown:
script #GPT4
Pictures – #Middle trip
Video clips – Runway #Gen2
VO – Eleven Labs
Music – SOUNDRAW AI Music
All assets generated and then spent most of my afternoon assembling in AE with images etc.

Another project is “Nothing Forever”, an AI-produced live stream of a sitcom. While the live stream would not end, it was banned from Twitch for two weeks after a transphobic prank. The video transmission is now available again and can be watched for as long as you can stand it.
The technology is still in its infancy. As ChatGPT has shown, improvements can happen extremely quickly.
