India-based computer scientists are getting some help developing an auto-writer for Hollywood scripts from Eros Investments.
Dubbed ‘Kurosawa,’ the in-development, specialized AI writer is already able to:
~Generate multiple plots and scenes from a single input
~Dream-up genre-specific movie plots
~Auto-create scenes in standard screenplay format with brief description inputs
“Kurosawa will be a huge opportunity to transform the art of storytelling with proficiency and improve efficiency for content creators,” says Milind Atrey, dean of research and development, IIT Bombay – Eros’ new partner.

*AI Writers Poised to Become Standard at Workplaces?: Content marketing specialist Ryan Law predicts automated writing tools will soon become standard at most companies.
“AI is simply too good at the hard parts of writing — like brainstorming titles, adhering to style guides, or writing introductions and conclusions — to be overlooked,” observes Law, VP of Content, Animalz, a content marketing service provider.
Other AI writing trends Law sees crystallizing:
~Writers will become overseers of AI writing tools – rather than engaging in the actual writing themselves
~SEO content will be written by robots
~In the end, Google will not penalize AI-generated writing in its search engine returns
*Report: The Robot Take-Over of Journalism is Real: According to a new report released by AI4 media, AI is eliminating writing jobs previously held by humans.
Observe AI4 researchers: “Several newsrooms have fired journalists because their work was now done by robot journalists.
“The most known example is Microsoft replacing 27 journalists by an AI system in 2020.”
The report’s findings fly-in-the-face of relentless, ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy’ assurances from numerous news publishers during the past few years — which have adopted automated writing while assuring no writing jobs would be lost as a result.
“We foresee that in the near-future, every newsroom worldwide will make use of AI technologies in one or another way,” the researchers add.
*New Curation Service Ferrets-Out ‘Preferred’Journalism: OtherWeb has released a new, online tool that presents news articles it finds are highly credible and well written.
Readers can use the tool to auto-curate articles based on OtherWeb’s standards from 100+ news sources.
“By creating a standard that journalists must live up to, we are holding them accountable for their work and creating an environment that is free of sensationalism and misinformation,” says Alex Fink, a former Silicon Valley tech executive.
*AI Writes an Academic Paper: Swedish researcher Almira Osmanovic Thunström is the latest academic to use AI super-autowriter GPT-3 to spit-out an academic paper.
The entire process took only two hours and resulted in a 500-word paper about GPT-3.
Observes Thunström: “There I was, staring at the screen in amazement.
“The algorithm was writing an academic paper about itself.”
Thunström is currently attempting to get the paper published in a respected scientific journal.
*So Far, No Signs Google Can Detect AI-Generated Writing: While Google has warned that it plans to penalize Web sites that use AI-generated writing, there are no signs that the search engine giant can actually suss-out such writing, according to Javier X.
Javier is a writer for WriterTag.
Bottom line: Javier advises that Web sites are safe to use AI-generated writing – at least for now — as long as that writing conforms to Google’s Webmaster’s guidelines.
*AI-Generated Writing Firm Helps Automate Real Estate Writing – Again: United Robots is again helping a company automate real estate writing – this time PropMix.

*AI Big Picture: AI and Creativity: Think it, and AI Makes It Real: New advances in AI indicate we’ll all soon be relying on computers to do a lot of the creating for us, according to Taesu Kim, a writer for VentureBeat.
Text-to-image generators from Google and OpenAI, for example, already enable users to describe a one-of-a-kind image they want – and then watch AI produce it for them, Kim observes.
Meanwhile, text-to-video and text-to-music generators – already commercially available — work on the same principle.
They take what people are thinking – in an extremely specific way — and simply create it for them, Kim adds.
The big question, of course, is will all this creative automation render all human artists redundant – or at least render many graphic artists currently employed at businesses across the globe jobless?
“In a world where AI systems could enhance creative processes, humans still would be expected to take on higher-level tasks, such as developing ideas, giving instructions, evaluating, revising and making final decisions – and they would have infinitely more options at their disposal,” Kim observes.
In a perfect world, perhaps.
