The new season of The Comeback, featuring a character named Valerie Cherish, has introduced the use of AI as a plot device in the show. This raises questions about whether the industry is facing mass machine disruption or just doomerism. The episode of Hulu's Paradise, out March 30, turns the episode on whether AI will be our downfall or our savior. This ambiguity provides a good metaphor for the entertainment business as it stands, or perhaps wobbles. All with access to a laptop or first-look deal are warrioring, from Gullermo del Toro to Darren Aronofsky's tinkering curiosities, to Pamela Anderson's AI-model ban. However, the real-world creative impact of AI has not yet taken command of writers rooms or film production crews.
