AI Film Scripts Just Got REALLY Good!

Ready to write an Oscar-worthy screenplay… with a little help from AI? I’m taking a deep dive into PlotDot Horizon, the 2.0 version of the AI-powered screenwriting platform I first checked out back in 2023. A lot has changed since then, and I’m revisiting an old idea, “Overnight Delivery,” to see if this tool can really turn a concept into a compelling script. From brainstorming loglines and developing characters with surprising depth to structuring the entire plot, I’ll walk you through the whole process. We’ll see how PlotDot handles everything from character creation (with some hilarious hiccups) to generating a full-length screenplay. Is it perfect? Not yet. But it’s a massive leap forward and a powerful tool for any writer looking to get their first draft done in record time. Join me as I explore whether AI is the future of screenwriting and how you can use these tools to bring your own stories to life!

Oxford’s AI Chair: LLMs are a HACK

This video discusses the capabilities and limitations of large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4, suggesting they are more of a “technological hack” than a deep model of human intelligence. The speaker argues that LLMs excel at pattern recognition rather than genuine problem-solving, and are limited in planning and reasoning, failing when problems are obfuscated. The speaker believes the transformer architecture is fundamentally limited and unlikely to achieve advanced AI capabilities. Despite these limitations, LLMs are acknowledged as impressive and useful, transforming philosophical AI questions into experimental science.
