OpenAI can't afford to ignore Hollywood's warning

The collaboration involves using AI to assist in scriptwriting, editing, and even generating visual effects, which could significantly reduce production costs and time. While some industry professionals welcome the technological advancement, others express concerns about job displacement and the potential loss of human creativity in films. OpenAI and the studios are working to address these concerns by ensuring that AI tools are used to augment, rather than replace, human roles in the creative process.
