AI has now become a big part of everyone’s life. We see it everywhere. On social media, on posters in the street, in music video clips. Everyone has started using AI, mostly because it is trending, but especially because it is useful. But what’s the point of using it in the art industry?  

People could say AI is art, it creates beautiful pictures, but isn’t music, movies, and painting about ourselves, about creating what’s on our mind, about expressing ourselves? If people start using AI in some art projects, then they will lose their original spark, one of the main reasons people go to the cinema and watch movies is because of the original stories, the original aesthetic of the image, and because of the beautiful human brains behind it, as well as all the hard work so many producers, filmmakers, makeup artists, and designers put into it, because of the love they put into the movie. If we start creating AI, we are losing all the human part of making films. AI is slowly being used to assemble videos, to create special effects, to narrate the story; people are losing their jobs because of robots.  

I think that AI shouldn’t be a part of the movie industry, especially because movies are all about art, and using AI goes against those ideas. 

My biggest dream is to realize my own movie, with my own ideas. But with the rise of AI, in a few years, we won't need screenwriters anymore because AI is going to do that job.  

For example, I asked IA to write a little script for me, and this is what he made:  

"Can you write a short script about a young girl moving to New York for the first time and discovering the city?” 

" Title: First Light in New York 

INT. BUS – EARLY MORNING 

A tired but excited LENA (16) presses her forehead against the window. The skyline of New York slowly appears in the distance. 

LENA (V.O.) 

I thought it would feel different… bigger, louder. But right now, it just feels… new. 

EXT. PORT AUTHORITY BUS TERMINAL – MORNING 

Lena steps out with a small suitcase. The city rushes around her—cars honking, people talking fast, footsteps everywhere. 

She freezes for a moment, overwhelmed. 

LENA 

(whispers) 

Okay… here we go. 

EXT. TIMES SQUARE – DAY 

Bright lights. Giant screens. Lena spins slowly, taking it all in. 

A STREET PERFORMER dances nearby. Lena smiles for the first time. 

EXT. CENTRAL PARK – AFTERNOON 

Lena sits on a bench, sketching in a notebook. Trees sway gently. 

A GIRL her age sits beside her. 

GIRL 

You just moved here, right? 

LENA 

Is it that obvious? 

GIRL 

(smiling) 

You’re looking at everything like it’s a movie. 

They laugh. 

EXT. BROOKLYN BRIDGE – SUNSET 

Lena walks alone, the city glowing in orange light. She stops, looking out over the skyline. 

LENA (V.O.) 

Maybe it’s not about the city being big… 

Maybe it’s about finding your place in it. 

She takes a deep breath, calmer now. 

FADE OUT." 

You give it one little instruction, and it writes you a full script. AI is going to ruin the real art of cinema and is going to make people lose their jobs. There is even a full Indian movie called Maharaja in Denims which is fully made with AI that is going to come out this summer, and it is HORRIBLE. The story looks interesting, but the design and the picture are awful. It gave me a little bit more hope, because it shows that we still really need humans to fully create a piece of art. 

The article “Lights, Camera, AI: the Effects of Artificial Intelligence on the Film Industry” from Durham College explores how generative AI is impacting filmmaking, while also raising important concerns about its long-term impact. First, it explains that AI can create many types of content, including scripts, images, animation, and audio, and some film and television companies are currently adopting these tools. Disney has already used AI in productions. The article also highlights how AI is used behind the scenes to improve decision-making. For example, systems developed by companies like 20th Century Fox and Google analyze movie trailers and audience data to predict which viewers will enjoy a film.  It also says that AI can reduce costs and increase accessibility. It allows independent filmmakers with limited budgets to create visual effects or CGI that would otherwise be unaffordable. However, the article also talks about several serious concerns. One of the main issues is job security. Many students and professionals fear that studios may use AI to replace human workers, particularly in writing, acting, and production roles. Another major challenge is copyright and ethics. AI can replicate actors’ voices without proper consent. 

In the end, we realize that yes, AI can help some people, especially new filmmakers who don't have money, but is it worth it? I think that if you want to be in the cinema industry, you should create your movies with your own ideas and your own pictures and sound. If you ask AI to do it for you, it will just lose the whole point of cinema. Art is a way to express ourselves, if we let AI do it for us, then it is not art. 

If we talk about the art of designers, making clothes for musicals, movies, and shows, you realize that now AI can create those clothes. Not physically, but you can tell the chatbot the vibes of the show, and it shows you which outfit could fit. But designing is also an art. When you watch the TED Talk “Wicked’s costume designer on how to tell stories with clothes” by Paul Tazewell, you realize that it is an art to tell a story through clothes. Each piece of clothing has a meaning and is made specially for a character, and to tell its story. If you decide to use AI because you don't have any idea on how to express a character’s emotions, then you are not made for this job. Creating clothes for a movie production is real art: finding the right colors, the right way to wear the piece of fabric. If AI starts creating it, it will lose all the story behind the character. We won't feel the same emotions as if a real human being did it, because a real human being can relate to those characters. 

All those articles, added to the example with ChatGPT, show how bad AI is for the cinema industry. You lose the real point of cinema, of making movies. All the art of making costumes, of shooting, of editing a video, of using real voices in cartoon movies. There are so many beautiful, talented people in this world, so many people who want to tell a real story, and so many people who, in a few years, are going to lose their jobs, lose their hope because of the impact AI is having on the cinema.
