The film’s screenplay revolved around the conflict between artificial intelligence and a screenwriter, with this artificial intelligence being written through a model called ChatGPT.

Artificial Intelligence Used in Screenwriting

Director Peter Luisi had the screenplay of the film written using artificial intelligence model ChatGPT. Luisi took this step to test how artificial intelligence could play a role in the film production process. However, this decision led to increased reactions towards the film.

Reactions from the Audience

The film sparked debates about the involvement of artificial intelligence in artistic creation processes. The cinema, due to complaints from the audience, decided to cancel the scheduled premiere. Concerns about how artificial intelligence will bring changes to the film industry turned into reactions against the film.

Movie enthusiasts questioned the role of artificial intelligence in art and creativity and decided to protest the film. The director and the cinema chose to withdraw the film screening and preferred to stay out of this debate. The film will likely be available on digital platforms.

How Will Artificial Intelligence Change Cinema?

This incident fueled discussions about the impact of artificial intelligence on the film industry. With the expected increase in AI-supported film production, the widespread adoption of this technology in an industrial sense seems inevitable. In the long run, significant changes in the cinema sector may occur with the prevalence of AI-supported films instead of human actors and screenwriters.
