Filmmakers at Cannes grapple with 'tectonic' AI shift

"Hire right now an AI specialist in your team, whatever your job is, and hire it now, because in one year you will regret it," he warns.

And here a very strong question arises - who will hire whom?

Most movies fail to deliver because scripts are so predictable. We all know the hero will ultimately prevail after a succession of setbacks. We know there will be a final confrontation between the good hero and the bad villain. We know which pair will be a couple by the end no matter how mismatched they seem at the beginning. Perhaps some AI will have generate the imagination to break away from this decades-old predictability. Human screenwriters seem wed to these tired script conventions and need shaking up.
