Paul Schrader Says He Asked ChatGPT for Film Ideas and They Were All ‘Original’ and ‘Fleshed Out’: ‘Why Should Writers Sit Around for Months’ When ‘AI Can Provide One in Seconds?’
Paul Schrader is sounding off in support of using ChatGPT to come up with ideas for films.
In a recent Facebook post, the “Taxi Driver” writer and “First Reformed” director said he asked the AI platform to generate plots for movies by famous filmmakers, including himself, and was impressed by the results. AI has been a frequent subject on Schrader’s Facebook page as of late, with the 78-year-old filmmaker posting the day before that he had sent ChatGPT a script he wrote “some years ago and asked for improvements.” He then said that “in five seconds it responded with notes as good or better than I’ve ever received” from a “film executive.” In a previous post, he also remarked that he’s “come to realize that AI is smarter than I am.” Schrader’s latest film “Oh, Canada,” starring Richard Gere and Jacob Elordi, follows a dying filmmaker as he sits for a final interview and reflects on his life and career.
