Stranger Things Doc Director Rejects Claims Duffer Brothers Used ChatGPT for Finale

The filmmaker says no proof exists that generative AI wrote the scripts.

Overview

  • Fan accusations stem from a behind-the-scenes Netflix documentary where blurry browser tabs on the Duffers’ laptops were interpreted by some viewers as ChatGPT.
  • Director Martina Radwan told The Hollywood Reporter she did not witness any unethical use of generative AI in the writers’ room.
  • Multiple outlets note there is no concrete evidence beyond screenshots, and the documentary footage does not confirm AI-assisted writing.
  • Netflix and the Duffer Brothers have not responded to requests for comment on the specific ChatGPT allegation.
  • The documentary shows the finale was still being written during production, a detail that has fueled ongoing online scrutiny and debate about the creative process.
