Stranger Things Doc Director Disputes ChatGPT Claims as Netflix, Duffers Stay Silent

The documentary’s director says she saw no AI use, calling the on-screen tab insufficient proof.

Overview

  • Fan accusations arose after viewers pointed to a blurry browser tab in Netflix’s making-of film as supposed evidence of ChatGPT.
  • Director Martina Radwan told multiple outlets she witnessed only creative discussion in the writers’ room and said “nobody has actually proved that it was open.”
  • The documentary confirms production started before the finale script was finished, and the Duffers describe heavy pressure to deliver the last episode.
  • Netflix and the Duffer Brothers have not responded to requests for comment on the AI allegations.
  • Coverage notes the tab icons are too indistinct to verify and that online backlash tied to the divisive finale has amplified unproven theories.
