AI Authorship, Creativity, and Postmodernism | Blog post #25

So… the whole 349 words of the previous blog post, blog post #24, was written by a rather new AI chatbot, ChatGPT. The only thing that I had to do was to feed in this prompt: “Write 300 words about how I have to shoot during the night because of my dark film tone and I have noisy upstairs neighbours that run around and cause literal earthquakes and that it will definitely affect the sound quality of my project.”, and it gave me a whole new blog post for my blog.


While it’s really cool that ChatGPT can do my work with just a prompt and a few seconds, the paragraphs seem more like advice and an article rather than a personal blog writing approach that I have. The tone that I’m getting from it is like what I will get when looking for tips in articles rather than a blog. It isn’t what I usually write and it’s quite vague on the main points that I want to highlight in my post. It really stretched out the problem.


I think that the problem is that ChatGPT doesn’t create new knowledge. It’s just an impressive compiler which looks through the Internet and its thousands of resources and summarises it. So the answer is that’s maybe why ChatGPT gave me an answer that felt more like an article rather than a personal blog post.


It’s still too early to say anything as AI is a technology we are still developing and discovering. But in my opinion, I feel like AI is definitely going to change journalism and the creative arts industries. From what I’m seeing, I think it would enhance the art field. I think that it’s a great tool for people like me who aren’t good at visualising how to put my art ideas on paper.


For someone that wants to pursue a career in the creative field, hopefully, it won't be replacing everything. I still feel like the current technology can't replace the creative arts. As we still need to come up with the main idea for it to be able to create. And from what I saw from its creations, there isn't as much depth that it has compared to what we can produce.


For journalism, I think there are a lot of articles that are only for clickbait purposes so I think AI would be able to do that. So there's a chance that it will affect journalism or it would just enhance the content produced and published if humans don't want to be replaced by AI.


ChatGPT could have definitely helped me to write my screenplay. I’m more of a storyboarding, directing-the-shots kind of person rather than a screenwriter. It would have definitely given me a skeleton for me to continue building on. And would have made this particular area of the project easier and way faster.


However, one aspect that has to definitely come from a human, me, in my project, is the original idea and tone of the film. I would have to have something to feed into it for ChatGPT to write a screenplay for me.


While it can write a whole screenplay for me, ChatGPT can’t plan out all of the shots and angles and types of shots used. And since it doesn’t know my situation, it can’t plan out all of the locations that I’m going to use.


My film is really personal to me and shows my internal emotions, so I don’t think that ChatGPT will be able to convey this now. my idea came from my experiences which today I didn't go through so I would be able to come up with this idea
