Why We’ll Be Babysitting AI To Avoid a Cliche Hellhole

56 min • 1 juni 2023

Will artificial Intelligence end our jobs and the world as we know it, or is its “intelligence” limited? While many of us feel nervous for the impact it may have on our careers, A.I. is also opening up new opportunities to those who want to break into the industry.

In today’s episode, No Film School’s Charles Haine, GG Hawkins, and Jason Hellerman discuss:

The A.I. marketing tool that is being used to gain attention
Thinking about whether or not we would use A.I. for certain things
Why we don't think A.I. will be able to make great films
The terrifying, yet fascinating, new filter TikTok is rolling out
How AI tools can help us democratize film making
Knowing how to make the right decisions at the right times

Plus, we have a short conversation with Joaquin del Paso and Lucy Pawlak, discussing what it was like to collaborate on the film, The Hole in the Fence. The film, which draws on actual events, dissects politics and privilege through a story that exposes the fault lines of contemporary Mexican society. The film is now available for streaming.
