AI is making me hate all my film ideas. Why?
I’ve spent months now trying to come up with different film ideas. I’ll have an idea one day, put it into ChatGPT to see if I can make it stronger, and by the end of the day I’ll hate the idea. Then I’ll move on to something else, and the whole process starts again. It’s been rinse and repeat for months
What’s strange is that AI is usually a godsend for me when it comes to other things. It’s brilliant for fine-tuning emails, getting advice, brainstorming certain problems etc. So why does it seem to be having the opposite effect when I’m trying to come up with film ideas?
Is it because AI is actually a terrible tool for this particular part of the creative process? Or is it because AI is really good at analysing ideas, and it’s simply making me realise that my ideas aren’t as good as I thought they were?
