ChatGPT x Paul Schrader

🎥🤖 Is AI Starting to Revolutionize
the Movie Industry? 🎬✨

Oscar-nominated director Paul Schrader shocked fans by praising ChatGPT’s ability to generate “original” and “fleshed-out” screenplay ideas. Schrader tested the AI with prompts for himself and iconic filmmakers like Tarantino, Spielberg, and Lynch—and was “stunned” by the results. He questioned why writers spend months brainstorming when AI can deliver in seconds.

While critics argue AI relies on remixing existing works, Schrader has previously defended its role in filmmaking, calling it capable of producing generic yet effective scripts in moments. As Hollywood debates AI, Schrader seems ready to welcome the bots into the writers’ room.

TikTok in the States

TikTok's 12-Hour Vanishing Act ⏳📱✨

After going dark for barely half a day, TikTok is back online in the U.S., thanks to some presidential intervention. The app’s downtime came as a law targeting its parent company, ByteDance, was set to take effect, potentially banning TikTok or forcing a sale.

President-elect Donald Trump announced an executive order delaying the ban, saying Americans "deserve to see our exciting Inauguration on Monday." This gave TikTok’s service providers enough confidence to flip the switch back on.

However, the app is still missing from Apple and Google Play stores for now, and not all lawmakers are thrilled. Senator Tom Cotton warned companies supporting TikTok could face “ruinous liability.” Meanwhile, Trump floated a potential deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations, suggesting a 50% ownership for Uncle Sam. TikTok says it’s ready to work on a long-term solution to stay in the States.
