    ChatGPT isn’t yet at that point where it can write coherent enough scripts. I know they only care enough to have generic bad scripts, but ChatGPT can’t makes basic logical and factual errors. It can’t yet write scripts that make any sense.

      Chatbots assisted with a much smaller group of precariously placed hirelings can probably do the job. Having a "fact checker" paid less than a team of script writers is probably the way it will go. :doomer:

        I think you're underestimating the amount of skill it takes to write a coherent two hour script. There's a reason why even the worst hollywood action flicks, or bottom of the barrel network TV are still much better than one of those low budget Christian movies. I genuinely don't think it's something you can do with 3 interns and chatgpt.

          coherent two hour script

          That's what I'm getting at. Even coherence might not actually matter if it chatbot produced slop has enough front billing, publicity, and a Pavlovian-trained audience to nod along to it. The novelty of it may even excuse as well as sell it the first few times around the way that "Reality TV" trashiness and dishonesty about its own premise was its draw for many people, the flaws turned into novelties.

          "Another Life" was worse than shit I read (and wrote, I confess) during high school Creative Writing classes and significantly less coherent and it got greenlit for a second season anyway.

      basic logical and factual errors.

      Insert laugh track. Slap 50% more ass cancer and depression double plus ads. Bed ridden boomers zombified by cable TV still got 20 years to milk before they're all gone.
