Should writers use AI?
Emmy-award-winning filmmaker Noah Hawley says: "It depends."
AI could probably write a show like Law & Order because there's so much training data to pull from. But if you want to invent something new, AI can't really do that.
So it's a tool, just like any other. And yes, some people hate it but people also used to hate visual effects and complain that they were ruining cinema.
But then, as visual effects got better and better, we got fully animated worlds like Avatar, and nobody thinks that's cheating anymore. Maybe AI will go the same way.
So how does Noah use AI?
He says he wouldn't use it to write for him, but he does use it for productivity. Like if he wants to do research or think through a story. That turns the AI into a creative partner.
