While I’m an aspiring novelist, so that’s my focus, I do find myself in the abstract using Gemini Advanced to come up with many, many, MANY movie concepts. I do it without thinking about it.
A number of times since I started using Gemini Advanced, I leaned back and thought to myself, “Huh, that would be a really good movie.” Most of the stories I come up with deal with “edge cases” for AI.
What usually happens is I come up with an edge case and before you know it, I’ve asked Gemini Advanced, “Hey, give me a plot to that concept.” I have used Claude some, too, but it’s definitely a “he” in its self-perception and he’s a bit too droll to be used in the fun of creation.
Anyway, I continue to have a lingering desire to help Hollywood use AI to come up with movie concepts. I could probably whip up some evidence of how good I am within a few hours if someone simply tracked me down and asked me for proof.
But I KNOW that’s not how it works. I can’t be lazy and expect people to come knocking on my door. I need to summon up the energy to do something out of my comfort zone like come up with a new resume then contact a movie studio or something.
I can’t just sit on my hands forever.
