By Patrick Robinson (and Chat GPT)

Many people doubt that AI can replace human creativity. At some levels that certainly true. But that argument may become irrelevant. I came up with a simple movie script idea and fed it to Chat GPT. Which today is quite rudimentary but is SOON going to be able to not only write the full script.. but actually CREATE THE FULL MOVIE. likely within the next two years I'd guess.

See this site for the very early beginnings of what is possible TODAY and bear in mind it's improving FAST.

I fed the folllowing to Chat GPT and 13 seconds later it produced the script.

"Write a full motion picture script about a family who loses a beloved dog Gus. But who comes back as a ghost. He doesn’t eat, or poop but oddly he still stops at trees and fire hydrants in a funny way. Mother Jane and father Nathan and their daughter Carla go on a trip to see the Grand Canyon and Carla nearly falls in but she’s saved by a dog barking. She only sees a faint image of the dog but she realizes it’s Gus who saved her. After that she tries to convince her parents that Gus is still alive but they don’t believe her until one day when they are all out at a baseball game and a sudden storm comes up, lightning striking the ground. They ALL hear a dog barking (even though they are not allowed at the stadium) and they follow the barking just as lightning hits right where they were standing…"


HERE IS WHAT IT PRODUCED.

Title: Gus: The Ghostly Guardian

FADE IN:

EXT. SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD - DAY

A picturesque suburban street. The sun shines down on neat lawns and cozy houses. Among them, the home of JANE (40s) and NATHAN (40s), a loving couple, and their daughter CARLA (10), a spirited young girl.

INT. JANE AND NATHAN'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY

Jane, Nathan, and Carla sit solemnly on the couch, tears streaming down their faces.

JANE:
(Choked up)
He was a part of our family.

NATHAN:
(Sniffling)
We'll miss you, old buddy.

They hold each other in grief. The loss of their beloved dog, GUS, weighs heavily on them.

INT. CARLA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Carla lies in bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep. Suddenly, she hears a faint barking outside her window. She sits up, puzzled.

CARLA:
Gus?

She rushes to the window and peers out into the darkness, but sees nothing.

EXT. GRAND CANYON - DAY

The family stands at the edge of the majestic Grand Canyon, marveling at its beauty.

CARLA:
(excitedly)
This is amazing!

As Carla leans in for a closer look, she loses her balance and teeters on the edge.

CARLA:
(helpless)
Mom! Dad!

Suddenly, a distant barking echoes through the canyon. Carla's eyes widen in shock as she feels herself being pulled back from the brink.

EXT. GRAND CANYON - EDGE - CONTINUOUS

Carla's parents rush to her side, finding her safe and sound.

JANE:
(concerned)
Carla, are you okay?

CARLA:
(stunned)
I... I think Gus saved me.

NATHAN:
(confused)
Gus? Sweetheart, Gus is...

Before Nathan can finish his sentence, Carla spots a faint, ghostly figure of a dog disappearing into the distance.

CARLA:
(excitedly)
There! That's Gus!

But when Jane and Nathan look, there's nothing there but the vast expanse of the canyon.

INT. JANE AND NATHAN'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY

Carla sits on the couch, recounting her experience to her parents.

CARLA:
I'm telling you, Gus is still here. He's watching over us.

JANE:
(skeptical)
Carla, honey, I know you miss Gus, but...

Before Jane can finish, a sudden clap of thunder shakes the house. They rush to the window to see dark clouds gathering overhead.

EXT. BASEBALL STADIUM - DAY

The family attends a baseball game, the excitement palpable in the air. Suddenly, dark clouds roll in, and lightning streaks across the sky.

NATHAN:
(concerned)
We should get out of here. It's not safe.

But before they can leave, a familiar barking fills the air. They look around in disbelief as the sound leads them away from the stadium.

EXT. BASEBALL STADIUM - PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS

The family follows the barking until they reach an empty parking lot. Suddenly, a blinding flash of lightning illuminates the area, striking the ground where they had been standing just moments before.

JANE:
(realization dawning)
Gus...

They look around, but there's no sign of the ghostly dog. Yet, they feel his presence, a comforting warmth in the midst of the storm.

FADE OUT.

As simple as the set up and the dialog are in this example remember that the internet, worldwide is a gaping maw consuming content. It doesn't care if it's oscar worthy or really of any quality at all. Just that it be new content. If you doubt me look at the incredible number of films, shows, and more on Netflix. They have 3600 movies and 1800 television shows with more coming all the time. Amazon Prime has 40,000 movies and shows. If you can reduce the cost of production to let's say 1/10th of what they are now, you can be certain the number produced will increase exponentially.

This is where we are heading.
