Bard, can never kill screenwriters

Artificial intelligence is the new buzzword and people are using chatbots to write everything from love letters to research papers. But can they be used to churn out exciting movie scripts, especially in India?

In Short

• ChatGPT, Bard and Bing are the three top AI bots.
• Human emotions and motivations can't be understood or replicated by AI.
• AI has shortcomings and can make factual errors too.

By Latha Srinivasan: AI AKA Artificial Intelligence is a new buzzword around the globe. Of course, the bigger buzzword is ChatGPT. A recent report by McAfee stated that 62 per cent of Indian men planned to use ChatGPT to write Valentine’s Day love letters. In another instance, when a woman tried to get Bing to write a cover letter for a job application, the chatbot refused and replied, “That would be unethical and unfair to other applicants.” But ChatGPT did write a 270-word cover letter for the same woman.OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s chatbot Bard and Microsoft’s Bing are all in the race to become the most popular AI chatbot, helping people ace everything from writing research papers to mails, and, yes, love letters. AI and chatbots seem the single point of conversation wherever you go. Recently, Tamil actor RJ Balaji stated in an interview that people are going to start churning out scripts using these AI chatbots and the need for writers will probably die. Could this scenario come true? Not really! Because AI and chatbots have their usefulness but have clear limitations as well.
