AI is taking Jobs

 


Good evening, and welcome to tonight's editorial segment. I'm John Doe of Illuminated television and here is my  topic for discussion tonight is the impact of artificial intelligence on the traditional roles of scriptwriters in Hollywood.

The rapid advancement of AI technology has brought both benefits and challenges to various industries, and the entertainment sector is no exception.

Hollywood has always been the creative hub of the film and television world, where somewhat talented script writers have given life to captivating stories that have captured our hearts for generations.

But now, with the rise of AI-generated content, there's a growing concern that these creative minds might be facing the risk of being replaced by machines.

It's a thought-provoking dilemma. On one hand, AI is making scriptwriting more efficient, generating content at an unprecedented speed and potentially reducing production costs.

AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data, including successful scripts and audience preferences, to produce content tailored to market demands.

However, many argue that the magic of Hollywood lies in the unique perspectives, emotions, and experiences of human writers. AI-generated scripts may lack that personal touch that connects with audiences on a deeper level.

Indeed. There's an artistic element to storytelling that AI might not fully grasp.

And let's not forget the potential impact on employment in the industry. As AI technology evolves, it could lead to job displacement for traditional scriptwriters, which could have wider implications for the workforce. We spoke with the industry expert Adrian Woodward to get their insights on this issue.

Adrian here. AI is a powerful tool, and there's no denying its contributions to Hollywood's creative process. However, the human element is irreplaceable. Writers bring a unique voice and perspective that AI cannot replicate. While an artificial intelligence can be a helpful assistant, I don't think it will replace scriptwriters entirely. The creative process is complex and often requires human emotions and experiences to connect with audiences.

So, it seems there's a consensus that AI can complement the work of scriptwriters but not entirely replace them, despite what loud Twitter users will have you believe. 

That's right. The real challenge lies in finding the right balance between human creativity and artificial assistance. The industry also needs to address the ethical considerations as well. Such as who owns the rights to content created by AI? How do we ensure originality and prevent plagiarism? These are important questions that need to be answered.

The future of scriptwriting in Hollywood will depend on how well they adapt to this evolving landscape.

And let's not forget, advancements in technology have historically led to new job opportunities in unexpected areas.

 As AI becomes more prevalent, it could create a demand for experts who can leverage AI tools effectively, or even inspire new forms of storytelling.

So, while the concerns are valid, we must also consider the potential for positive change.

In the end, the key will be to embrace AI as a powerful tool that can enhance creativity, while also preserving the artistry and passion that have defined Hollywood for generations.

It's a fascinating and complex topic that will continue to shape the future of entertainment.

Thank you and that concludes tonight's editorial. Thank you for joining us.

Stay tuned for more updates and analysis on AI's impact on various industries.

Welcome to the Tom Cruise timeline.

 Greetings I'm Njål and welcome to the Tom Cruise timeline.


Tom is a prolific actor that is still cruising through Hollywood and history. He might be a crazy Scientologist, but he never stopped doing what he does best. Acting in a plethora of exciting movies, where he often ends up running a lot and doing most of the stunts himself. However I'm not here to critique the man, nor his career, or his movies. Because a thought occurred to me, all tom cruise movies take place in the  same universe. Practically all of them can be crammed onto the same earth. painting the man as a historical legend that has cemented his place in the history of the world. Sure such a timeline is purely coincidental, however since when has that ever stopped  humans from finding patterns in chaos? Not any time soon, that is for sure. Besides, I do love a good crossover.


At one early point in history a western soldier ended up becoming a samurai, roughly around the time the samurai was no more. Mostly due to changing times and weaponry.


Rumors has it that an eerie similar looking man was spotted in the wild west after he left Ireland, due to unfortunate circumstances


Sometime in 1944 a German officer was disillusioned by the horrible atrocities committed by the third Reich and a plot to assassinate Hitler took place.



During the eighties a new world war was almost started due to the actions of the ace pilot Maverick who deployed in a skirmish from the aircraft carrier USS enterprise. 


Research indicates that many doppelgangers somehow existed in America at the same time, however this is purely a coincidence, or a sinister plot to take over the earth, through edgy high schooners and rowdy teenagers.


Around the globe the same figure has been seen on the run from all manners of explosions caused by sinister cabals and international terrorism. But I'm fairly certain that a helicopter chasing a man into a train tunnel is over exaggerated. Though said person was caught acting like a gecko on the wall, climbing an insanely tall tower.



Then again a mummy was allegedly recovered and turned out to be very much alive and very wicked. This man's continued existence could in fact be the result of a curse.


Eventually wicked martians invaded earth and for a time their menacing tripods ruined mankind, but eventually humanity reclaimed the planet. Exactly what year this occurred is lost to the annals of history due to the collapse.


But from the looks of things other aliens have been tussled with in the year 2009 as well, where this blond baby-face has yet again played a pivotal role in guiding us forward.


In the year 2045 we have yet more recordings of this enigmatic man working for the police, arresting people before the crime has been even committed. This clearly indicates that there is something otherworldly about this being.

Californiacation



Let's face it Hollywood kinda sucks and a lot of the directors, producers, actors and writers are egotistical pricks. As evident with the movie "the Room" and its enigmatic director, that also act in said film. Not to mention Uwe Boll, the blowhard German boxer responsible for a so bad it's good game adaptations of movies. Which brings me to today's fine to death topic. Movie adaptations and the problems they all suffer from.
A generic Hollywood story approach to action is very formulaic, full of cliche and exceptionally bad writing. Which is why these movies almost never win any rewards and so many of them exist. Heck, they go under name popcornflicks and it ultimately very forgettable, full of action and ends up with the hero getting badly injured. Said main character will also very likely have a love interest and be exceptionally skilled at surviving explosions.
The thing though is that these movies are seldom based on an existing work and they're usually stuck at a highly specific length. Now, if a book is being adapted a two hour movie is way too short to do the original work justice. Essentially everything deemed non important to the plot has to go. Like characterization, we can't give the girl too much agency. Yes, especially women and side characters will get the shaft, or become a damsel in distress.
These script writers also got the uncanny ability to ignore most of the source material. Some goes as far as never reseaching it in the first place. Yes I'm looking at you Rian and the terrible ignorant behaviour relating to Starwars. In fact he is the poster boy for this attitude, sincw he succeeded in making a worse movie than the holiday special. A bit sad really, because Looper was fairly well made, but is ultimately a predictable movie.
A very relevant example is Max Payne, the game that made slow motion gunplay a main stay in action games. It's a noir detective plot, with a moody atmosphere and flowery dialogue. Sounds like a perfect fit for a movie, right? For all inventive purposes it is that, but what we got was not that.
The Max Payne movie is a slow and droll flick with some slow here and one gun fight. They even made the opening sequence uninteresting and went hard on the valkyrie drug effects instead. I'm fairly confident that you can make a fairly fun and simple movie based around Max murdering goons for sixty minutes, same with Doom. Ironically enough the best movie that could have been a game I've seen, is Shotem Up. Where even the sex scene is a shootout.
As a side note, there does indeed exist a couple of Doom novels. I guess the producer never heard of those. Personally I'd get a better movie experience out of watching a long play on YouTube. It also got a much better production quality.
To actually bring some more examples to the table. Captain N the game master so comically exemplifies my point of wiev. The man behind the show did not even play the games he appropriated characters from. Samus is no where to be seen, yet Mother Brain is there as the villain along with Wiley. Megaman was painted green, said mega a lot and looked like a misshapen gnome, instead of a blue eyed boy bot.
Yes, the list is long and I could make it even longer, but in the end I do believe that it's mostly lazy directors, with a big ego that is to blame for these movie abortions.
I suppose I should end on a positive note and not just Sonic, starring Jim Carry as Robotnik. There exist a Phoenix Wright movie and its actually quite good and follows the source material. Then again Takashi Miike seems to actually care about his art.

Jurassic Burgers




After watching too much Jurrasic World, the weird wonky and very Hollywood sequel to the Jurrasic Park movies there is a plot point that has been bothering me quite a lot. Be wary spoilers ahead, if such a story can be spoiled. Regardless science brought dinosaurs back and a rich man built a park with dinosaurs with the backing of a shady mega corporation. Then things goes wrong because an underpaid employee is bribed into stealing research samples and shuts down the security system during a typhoon. Years later the part is rebuilt, and reopened elsewhere on the island and became successful. However the oversized featherless birds did not make all the money in the world, so evil rich man decides to make a better raptor, naturally somethings goes wrong and everything goes to hell in a hand basket, again.
The movie after that deals with fetching dinosaurs and ferrying them of the island as the volcano is going critical, instead of saving them, evil corporate greed man decides to do the dumb money scheme built around selling the dinosaurs to the highest bidder, then make a super raptor again to use for war purposes. Which is very silly all things considered, because drones and tanks are ultimately better and less squishy. Without the ability to go berserk and tear allies to shreds. In the end it leads to an epic fight between an intelligent emphatic raptor and the enraged super raptor, the good guys wins and the evil bad business man die along with most of the other guests at the locations, plus some unforgettable scientists. Heroes saves the day and the handsome white hunter and raptor trainer survives to be badass in an inevitable sequel. Ranting and poor plot summary of Jurrasic world aside.

Imagine this; Instead of making genetically engineered war machines and park attractions, there is clearly an untapped market for huge slabs of sizzling tyrannosaurus steaks, people would pay through their nose to eat this exclusive meat. Not to mention being able to breed creatures at that impressive size could do wonders for the meat industry. Since being able to grow anything of that mass is very impressive. Thus I can only conclude it is possible to grow unintelligent meat made from cultivated cells, bypassing the whole ethical dilemma of taking a life and you know co2 pollution and excessive energy usage.

Yes, I do believe it would work better as a plot point to serve dinosaur burgers, than to sell a dinosaur soldier.
