Guy Goldstein, founder & CEO of WriterDuet, joins us today to discuss the future of AI & screenwriters and to introduce his new AI script analysis platform.
Great conversation. Guy's got the right approach to all of his software: it has to actually help, and be invisible to the user. As for the threat of AI, no generative AI, certainly now and likely for the foreseeable future, can create a screenplay or film on its own. They rely completely on humans for their initial input and all of their iterations. In other words, they are a tool, or could be seen as a collaborator. The quality of an AI-generated script completely depends on the storytelling and writing capabilities of the human prompting it. A thousand screenplays generated by a thousand people using AI will generally skew along the same bell curve in quality as a thousand people not using AI. Other writers are still the primary competition, whether they're using AI or not.
