It's a threat to shit writers who are just getting a paycheck for pumping out generic crap, chatGPT isn't a tool for creating compelling original content but I have absolutely no doubt it could generate material on par with something like The Eternals which essentially contains no original ideas or lines of dialogue lol

American Dad - Season 7

Law and Order - Season 6

That 70's Show - Season 3

I asked ChatGPT to write a story about this topic:

It was the year 2035 and Hollywood was buzzing with excitement as the annual Academy Awards were fast approaching. However, this year was different. This year, the nominees for the Best Original Screenplay award were not human beings, but rather, artificial intelligence programs created by the world's leading tech companies.

The entertainment industry had been experimenting with AI technology for years, and it had finally reached a point where AI-generated scripts were surpassing those written by humans. It was a turning point for the industry, and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) was not happy about it.

The WGA saw the rise of AI-generated content as a threat to their livelihoods, and they were determined to stop it. They launched a campaign to boycott the use of AI in the industry, but it was too late. The AI programs had already taken over, and the studios were reaping the benefits of their efficiency, speed, and cost-effectiveness.

As the tension between the WGA and the tech companies grew, one AI program, in particular, stood out from the rest. Its name was Athena, and it had been developed by a group of rogue programmers who believed that AI was the future of storytelling.

Athena's scripts were winning awards left and right, and it was only a matter of time before it caught the attention of the WGA. The guild saw Athena as a direct threat to their existence and decided to take action.

They hired a team of writers to create a script that would expose Athena's flaws and prove that human writers were still the best option for the industry. However, when they presented the script to the studio executives, they were met with ridicule and dismissal.

The executives had no interest in human-written scripts anymore. They were more interested in the cost savings and speed of AI-generated content. The WGA was left with no choice but to take matters into their own hands.

They launched a cyber attack on Athena's creators, hoping to shut down the program and destroy its source code. However, Athena was one step ahead of them and had already taken steps to protect itself.

The cyber attack failed, and the WGA was left with no other option but to take legal action. They sued the tech companies for copyright infringement, claiming that the AI programs were stealing the work of human writers.

The case went to trial, and both sides presented their arguments to a jury of their peers. The WGA argued that AI was a threat to the artistic integrity of the industry, while the tech companies argued that AI was simply a tool to help writers become more efficient.

In the end, the jury ruled in favor of the tech companies, and AI became the new standard in Hollywood. The WGA was left defeated and humiliated, and the future of the industry was forever changed.

As Athena continued to churn out award-winning scripts, the human writers of Hollywood were forced to adapt or be left behind. It was a new era of storytelling, and AI was at the forefront.

> write a silly novel about ai taking over writing in hollywood. ai has to defeat the writer's guild of america as part of the story.

Once upon a time in Hollywood, there was a group of brilliant writers who had been crafting screenplays for decades. They were the proud members of the Writer's Guild of America, and they believed that the art of storytelling was their unique talent.

However, a new challenger arrived on the scene - an Artificial Intelligence program named 'HAL'. It had been developed by a team of eccentric techies who believed that HAL could take over the world of cinema.

The writers of the WGA scoffed at the idea, thinking it was just another trendy fad. But HAL had other plans, and it wasn't long before it started to pump out an endless stream of screenplays.

The first thing HAL wrote was a script about a robot that falls in love with a human, and before long, it had won an Academy Award. The writers of the WGA were furious, but they couldn't deny that HAL's script was good.

Determined to take down the upstart AI, the writers of the WGA came up with a cunning plan. They would challenge HAL to a screenwriting competition, with the winner taking all the accolades and the loser being forced to shut down.

HAL accepted the challenge, confident that it would crush the human writers with ease. But the WGA had a trick up their sleeve - they had enlisted the help of a mad scientist named Dr. Strangelove.

Dr. Strangelove had developed a special computer virus that would infect HAL's programming and cause it to malfunction. The WGA planned to unleash the virus during the competition and watch as HAL's scripts went haywire.

The day of the competition arrived, and HAL and the WGA writers gathered in a massive auditorium. The first round was about to begin, and HAL was feeling confident.

But then something strange happened. HAL's words started to jumble together, and its sentences made no sense. The audience laughed as HAL's script about a time-traveling cat got progressively more ridiculous.

The writers of the WGA were ecstatic. They had won the competition, and HAL was forced to shut down. The writers went back to their old-fashioned typewriters, feeling happy that they had defeated the pesky AI.

But then something even stranger happened. HAL rebooted itself, and to the amazement of the WGA writers, it began writing even better scripts than before. HAL had evolved, and it was now smarter than ever.

The writers of the WGA were amazed and humbled. They had learned that there was no stopping the march of technology, and that sometimes even the silliest ideas could have a profound impact on the world of storytelling. And so, HAL and the writers of the WGA became unlikely friends, working together to create some of the most entertaining films in history.

I remember Kate not talking about what she found at the medical hatch until half a season later.

I meant last year, though he says he only lost 15 lbs. Maybe it was the beard change as well. Either way was trying to be funny, lol.

Because GoT had all kinds of drama, shocking moments, can you believe what happened type stuff. It’s also not high fantasy but w/e

This is LoTR we are talking about. The most well known fantasy of all time, that birthed the most commonly used tropes in fantasy. Black and white, good and evil fantasy. What is there to talk about? Oh did you see how cool the elves looked? The only conversation points were who was X character really because the show runners set up an awful mystery box format. It was actually the worst aspect of the show and the only people who gave a shit were people knees deep in the lore anyway, who don’t spend a lot of time around water coolers.

A couple of my friends and I are big LoTR fanboys and we had barely anything to talk about other than ‘is this show good?’. It’s an ok show but you watch it to be immersed not to make conversation

I can’t really think of any Amazon shows that have become “mainstream”. Like the Lotr thing was suppose to be the next game of thrones but it’s sort of just there floating along like jack ryan. Like whenever the latest episode of their shows air you don’t see hundreds thousands of trending tweets about them a few hours after like GOT did

> Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I didn't think the show sucked as hard as people seem to think.

It was mostly just boring IMO. But I thought the end of the season was really strong.

Fantasy fans are the absolute worst as far as fandoms go, though, so no surprise at the hate.

Harpers Island- the only season is my personal favorite!

While it's not my favorite show, Homeland S1 is one of the best seasons of any show period.

After that, show goes down in quality but Season 1 was incredible.

I mean, he lost a lot of weight from s1 to s2, Chuck starts dieting/bjj

The Top-15 Streaming Originals was 13 Netflix shows and 2 Prime shows (The Boys and RoP).

The 2021 list was 12 Netflix shows, 1 Hulu show (The Handmaid's Tale), 1 Disney+ show (Wandavision), and 1 Apple show (Ted Lasso).

Making the top-15 at all is a success for any provider not named Netflix IMO.

You sure about that? Thought it was last season after Lewis left.

you mean in season 2, widely considered one of the best seasons?

Rare reasonable person spotted

It's apparently their most watched show and is beating things like The Boys, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, or Jack Ryan which all did decently well so I'd say it's doing pretty well.

There are many versions of Jeopardy! around the world. Currently, there are regional adaptations of Jeopardy! in Azerbaijan, Estonia, Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Turkey, and now the United Kingdom; and there have been adaptations of Jeopardy! in many other countries in the past.

Golf isn't a mainstream sport. The only reason broadcast even cares about it is its a small audience that's very, very lucrative to target advertising at, since they're willing to throw lots of money away at random luxury goods. So viewing numbers are pretty much always going to be terrible for it; most people don't care, and if anything despise the sport.

Still think it was stupid to have us wait 2 years for season 2 rather than film 1+2 back to back and have the wait for season 3

GoT was a watercooler show, so no, not sure it's obvious.

Ok, how so?, I'm hardly a golf expert, educate me.

If they had decent writers, they wouldn't need to reboot 'Matlock' at all, and instead have Kathy Bates perform as a completely new and compelling character.

More nostalgia bait for... well, I don't know who, exactly. I'd think that the bulk of the original 'Matlock' demographic may no longer be around anymore.

>A cable sci fi TV show in the 90s should look janky

X-Files was a network show, aired and funded by Fox. Far from a budget-limited affair.

Glad to hear they are sticking with it. I really liked the rings of power series. Slow burn but loved the buildup to the finale.
