Artificial intelligence has advanced faster than anyone could’ve imagined. It’s everywhere. When it comes to writing emails, generating art, solving math problems, and even writing screenplays. While the technology is impressive, its rapid growth is also deeply alarming.
As an aspiring scriptwriter, I am watching my dream job inch closer to extinction. AI can now write screenplays, build story arcs, and simulate emotion. These are all things that once made writing feel uniquely human. Why hire a writer when AI can draft ten versions in seconds, without pay, contracts, or creative disagreements?
This isn’t just about convenience, it’s about replacement. About 7 months ago, a short film titled Battalion was entirely generated by AI. It raked in hundreds of thousands of views. The film is soulless, but that doesn't stop studios from paying attention and taking inspiration. Studios see the viewers and the money, they can care less about authentic creativity. The creative field, long thought safe from automation, is now on the chopping block.
Some argue that AI is just a tool to assist artists, not replace them. And yes, it can be helpful for brainstorming or polishing ideas. But what begins as assistance can easily become a substitute, especially when money is involved. We need boundaries and ethical limits before AI fully takes over the creative space. If we don't stop to question where this is heading, we may soon find there’s no space left for us at all.
