"Rumors are running rampant online that Matt and Ross Duffer used OpenAI's ChatGPT when producing the last season of "Stranger Things" after fans zoomed on a still from a behind-the-scenes documentary that appears to show that one of the brothers had the AI chatbot open while working on the script. "WTF man, now we know why season 5 sucked," wrote one upset fan of the show on X-formerly-Twitter in response."
"Martina Radwan, director of the documentary "One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5," told The Hollywood Reporter in a new interview that she didn't witness anybody using ChatGPT in the tv show writer's room. "No, of course not," she said. "I witnessed creative exchanges. I witnessed conversation." Of course, a person making a hagiographic documentary about the production of the show for Netflix probably isn't the world's most neutral source. And she doesn't quite shut the door on its use, either."
"Nonetheless, the online controversy and the interview show that many people who watch original entertainment don't want a whiff of AI around their favorite movies or shows, though some production companies have already made forays into its use, most prominently in " de-aging" actors. Controversies have erupted online when AI use has been unearthed, including its use in tweaking actor Adrien Brody's Hungarian accent in the movie "The Brutalist" and for generating promotional posters for director Alex Garland's movie "Civil War.""
