Censoring creativity: The limits of ChatGPT for scriptwriting
What specific limitations did the researchers at Penn Engineering, Haverford College, and Penn State identify in using OpenAI's ChatGPT for scriptwriting?
The researchers at Penn Engineering, Haverford College, and Penn State identified a previously unreported drawback to writing scripts using OpenAI's ChatGPT: content moderation so overzealous that even some PG-rated scripts are censored, potentially limiting artistic expression. In the study, which examined both real and ChatGPT-generated scripts for IMDb's 100 most-watched television shows, ChatGPT flagged nearly 20% of scripts that ChatGPT itself generated for content violations, and nearly 70% of actual scripts from the TV shows on the list, including half of tested PG-rated shows.

What were the main reasons behind the Writers Guild of America's strike related to AI in scriptwriting?
The main reasons behind the Writers Guild of America's strike related to AI in scriptwriting were concerns about the use of AI in the creative process and the potential for AI to replace human writers. The strike aimed to regulate AI's role in scriptwriting and protect the rights and livelihoods of human writers. The agreement between the WGA and the Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) that ended the strike permitted certain uses of AI in scriptwriting, but both parties agreed that AI cannot be credited as a writer.
