Understanding AI in Screenwriting
Can AI Really Write Entire Scripts Now?
YES, AI can write scripts. This was not possible until recently, but recent advancements have dramatically expanded AI's capabilities in screenwriting. The context window, which previously limited AI's ability to handle long-form content, has significantly increased. This expansion allows AI to process and generate much longer scripts than before.
| Year | AI Model | Context Window | Est. Script Length | Est. Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | GPT-3.5 | 4K tokens | ≈ 8 pages | ~6 minutes of film |
| 2023 | GPT-4 | 32K tokens | ≈ 64 pages | ~45 minutes of film |
| 2024 | Claude 3.5 Sonnet | 200K tokens | ≈ 400 pages | ~300 minutes of film |
As you can see, there is no technical limitation anymore as LLM can now fit an entire script in their context window.
AI can surely write scripts, but can it write GOOD scripts?
Yes and no. Trying to generate a script directly in ChatGPT with a simple prompt is unlikely to produce good results. Results will probably lead to narratives that lack depth, nuanced character development, and the subtle intricacies that make a script truly compelling. The resulting AI-generated script will probably not have an engaging and original storyline.
This is where Melies' AI screenwriting software magic comes in.
Instead of attempting to generate an entire script in one go, Melies uses AI at every step of the writing process to help create more coherent and compelling screenplays with AI, mimicking a screenwriter's approach: brainstorming ideas, crafting character bibles, writing outlines, and more.
