Paul Schrader Praises ChatGPT's Ability to Generate Original Film Ideas

The acclaimed screenwriter describes AI as an efficient tool for creativity, sparking mixed reactions from the film industry.

Paul Schrader, writer of 'Taxi Driver,' shared on Facebook that ChatGPT generated original and well-developed film ideas in seconds.
Schrader tested the AI by requesting film concepts in the styles of iconic directors, including Quentin Tarantino and Ingmar Bergman, and was impressed by the results.
He also used ChatGPT to improve an old script, claiming its feedback was as good as or better than that of studio executives.
Schrader compared the rise of AI in creative fields to Garry Kasparov's realization that he would lose to IBM's Deep Blue in chess, calling it an 'existential moment.'
The comments have drawn criticism from industry professionals, who argue that AI relies on preexisting works and could undermine human creativity.
