Why some Canadian screenwriters are pushing back against AI, and Dune: Prophecy is here

from Commotion with Elamin Abdelmahmoud

Writers Guild of Canada president Bruce Smith and guild member Anthony Q. Farrell join Elamin to discuss a recent experiment where the WGC fed famous lines from Canadian movies and TV shows into ChatGPT to see if the AI could improve upon them, and while the results were predictably awkward and humorous, they highlight the threats that professional screenwriters face as AI continues to encroach on the entertainment industry. Plus, Alison Herman discusses the latest installment in the Dune franchise: HBO’s ‘Dune: Prophecy.’
