I would think at this point chatgpt is a bigger threat to writing assistants rather than actual writers.

Chatgpt can't write an actually compelling story for shit and who knows if it ever will.

I asked ChatGPT to write a story about this topic:

It was the year 2035 and Hollywood was buzzing with excitement as the annual Academy Awards were fast approaching. However, this year was different. This year, the nominees for the Best Original Screenplay award were not human beings, but rather, artificial intelligence programs created by the world's leading tech companies.

The entertainment industry had been experimenting with AI technology for years, and it had finally reached a point where AI-generated scripts were surpassing those written by humans. It was a turning point for the industry, and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) was not happy about it.

The WGA saw the rise of AI-generated content as a threat to their livelihoods, and they were determined to stop it. They launched a campaign to boycott the use of AI in the industry, but it was too late. The AI programs had already taken over, and the studios were reaping the benefits of their efficiency, speed, and cost-effectiveness.

As the tension between the WGA and the tech companies grew, one AI program, in particular, stood out from the rest. Its name was Athena, and it had been developed by a group of rogue programmers who believed that AI was the future of storytelling.

Athena's scripts were winning awards left and right, and it was only a matter of time before it caught the attention of the WGA. The guild saw Athena as a direct threat to their existence and decided to take action.

They hired a team of writers to create a script that would expose Athena's flaws and prove that human writers were still the best option for the industry. However, when they presented the script to the studio executives, they were met with ridicule and dismissal.

The executives had no interest in human-written scripts anymore. They were more interested in the cost savings and speed of AI-generated content. The WGA was left with no choice but to take matters into their own hands.

They launched a cyber attack on Athena's creators, hoping to shut down the program and destroy its source code. However, Athena was one step ahead of them and had already taken steps to protect itself.

The cyber attack failed, and the WGA was left with no other option but to take legal action. They sued the tech companies for copyright infringement, claiming that the AI programs were stealing the work of human writers.

The case went to trial, and both sides presented their arguments to a jury of their peers. The WGA argued that AI was a threat to the artistic integrity of the industry, while the tech companies argued that AI was simply a tool to help writers become more efficient.

In the end, the jury ruled in favor of the tech companies, and AI became the new standard in Hollywood. The WGA was left defeated and humiliated, and the future of the industry was forever changed.

As Athena continued to churn out award-winning scripts, the human writers of Hollywood were forced to adapt or be left behind. It was a new era of storytelling, and AI was at the forefront.

> write a silly novel about ai taking over writing in hollywood. ai has to defeat the writer's guild of america as part of the story.

Once upon a time in Hollywood, there was a group of brilliant writers who had been crafting screenplays for decades. They were the proud members of the Writer's Guild of America, and they believed that the art of storytelling was their unique talent.

However, a new challenger arrived on the scene - an Artificial Intelligence program named 'HAL'. It had been developed by a team of eccentric techies who believed that HAL could take over the world of cinema.

The writers of the WGA scoffed at the idea, thinking it was just another trendy fad. But HAL had other plans, and it wasn't long before it started to pump out an endless stream of screenplays.

The first thing HAL wrote was a script about a robot that falls in love with a human, and before long, it had won an Academy Award. The writers of the WGA were furious, but they couldn't deny that HAL's script was good.

Determined to take down the upstart AI, the writers of the WGA came up with a cunning plan. They would challenge HAL to a screenwriting competition, with the winner taking all the accolades and the loser being forced to shut down.

HAL accepted the challenge, confident that it would crush the human writers with ease. But the WGA had a trick up their sleeve - they had enlisted the help of a mad scientist named Dr. Strangelove.

Dr. Strangelove had developed a special computer virus that would infect HAL's programming and cause it to malfunction. The WGA planned to unleash the virus during the competition and watch as HAL's scripts went haywire.

The day of the competition arrived, and HAL and the WGA writers gathered in a massive auditorium. The first round was about to begin, and HAL was feeling confident.

But then something strange happened. HAL's words started to jumble together, and its sentences made no sense. The audience laughed as HAL's script about a time-traveling cat got progressively more ridiculous.

The writers of the WGA were ecstatic. They had won the competition, and HAL was forced to shut down. The writers went back to their old-fashioned typewriters, feeling happy that they had defeated the pesky AI.

But then something even stranger happened. HAL rebooted itself, and to the amazement of the WGA writers, it began writing even better scripts than before. HAL had evolved, and it was now smarter than ever.

The writers of the WGA were amazed and humbled. They had learned that there was no stopping the march of technology, and that sometimes even the silliest ideas could have a profound impact on the world of storytelling. And so, HAL and the writers of the WGA became unlikely friends, working together to create some of the most entertaining films in history.

ChatGPT and other AI like it are not replacing writers. But writers who use them will replace writers who don’t, AI is a tool. Just like any other tool before it, you can learn to use it or be left in the dust by those who do.

> The robots won’t take over Hollywood if the WGA has anything to do with it.

> One of the most interesting demands set out in the guild’s Pattern of Demands, which was unveiled earlier today, was the idea of regulating AI.

> Or as the WGA put it, “Regulate use of material produced using artificial intelligence or similar technologies”.

> A few years ago, it would have seemed crazy that AI would be able to replicate the work of TV and film writers. However, the rise of ChatGPT and other services, has shown that it might be closer than ever.

> For instance, I asked ChatGPT if it had a pitch for a reboot of AMC’s Mad Men.

> “Mad Men is back and better than ever. This time, the show takes place in the modern day, following a cast of characters as they navigate life in the cutthroat advertising industry of the 21st century. Our main protagonist is a new creative director at a major ad agency, and she’s determined to make her mark in the industry. Along the way, she’ll have to contend with the old-school, male-dominated corporate culture, as well as a new generation of ambitious millennials. With stories of ambition, power struggles, and office politics, Mad Men will appeal to a whole new audience, while still retaining the wit and charm of its original incarnation. Get ready for a wild ride,” ChatGPT wrote.

> It might not make it past the development team without a bit more work but given that ChatGPT spat this out in less than 30 seconds, who knows what is possible in the future.

Maybe if you didn't write so many movies about AI's taking over the world, maybe you wouldn't have inspired programmers to create AI's that take over your jobs.

with how shit most of the hollywood content is written these days i have 0 sympathy if they get replaced
