For the WGA, AI is a very real problem for screenwriting as a livelihood, with AI-generated 'screenplays' being nothing more than plagiarism: Opinion / WritersStrike AMPTP SupportTheWGA WGAEast WGAWest
, who pointed out,"[The use of AI in scriptwriting] is straight-up plagiarism because it only knows what it's being fed, and all of the choices it makes would be taken from what people actually wrote, but they won't discuss it with us. One executive said he looks forward to the day that scripts are written by AI."
AI-generated screenplays are literally writing-by-numbers. They throw together words and sentences from pre-existing screenplays that were written by humans to create a composite screenplay. That means Ais study and grab words and sentences from screenplays available in online and digital databases from any and every movie and television show you can think of:
Chinatown, Justified, Succession, The West Wing, The Sopranos, The Wire, 30 Rock, The Office, Seinfeld, The Godfather, Casablanca, The Flash, Arrow, Blue Bloods, ER … literally any screenplay that has a digital copy out there on a server accessible to an AI via the internet or a company server. All these screenplays were written previously by humans. An AI would be stealing their words, their sentences, to write a composite screenplay it has been asked to write. If a human did that, it would be plagiarism and a legal issue.
We can't say this enough: AI-written screenplays are PLAGIARISM. They are literally writing by numbers. The WGA strikes need to put this on their placards:"AI WRITING IS PLAGIARISM."
