Paul Schrader Thinks AI Can Mimic the Best Filmmakers
www.indiewire.com: Paul Schrader may be spending a bit too much time on the computer. Though the septuagenarian filmmaker rolled out his latest project, “Oh, Canada,” only last year, Schrader is already hard at work generating new ideas, not just for himself, but other legendary cinematic artists as well. Taking once again to his beloved Facebook page, Schrader shared in a post that he’d been experimenting with ChatGPT and was shocked to find how developed it had become.

I will admit that I have never used ChatGPT, so I have no firsthand knowledge of its accuracy or creativity. However, I have read articles about it and heard about it from friends, which has given me a basic understanding of ChatGPT’s basic functions and typical answers. The way Schrader is describing his experience with ChatGPT is interesting because it is the opposite of what I usually hear about it. The things I usually hear are that the AI writing recycles or combines existing storylines in a boring and nonsensical way that resembles previously written storylines. I’ve also been told that the AI technology has some limitations as far as expanding ideas beyond the typical, for example, generative AI can’t produce a picture of a ‘glass full of wine’ because all the reference pictures available are not full glasses of wine. However, I do understand what Schrader is getting at; AI will never go away and we as artists in the industry will need to learn how to regulate the use of generative AI early on, in order to keep up with the changing field of technology and innovation.
