Part 7/9:
The Future of AI in the Entertainment Industry
Claven's overall stance is cautious but realistic. He suggests that AI's current output is at a level where it can produce mildly amusing, safe jokes, but it hasn't yet achieved the depth and originality seen in the best human comedies. Still, he anticipates a future where AI could dominate the industry, especially if it surmounts the barriers of genuine creativity.
He humorously mused that by then, AI might be making a fortune in Hollywood—"out in LA"—if it excels at generating the lowest common denominator humor that fills many sitcoms today. Meanwhile, human writers face an uncertain future, battling to maintain their craft in an increasingly automated world.
