| The interesting thing here is that Matt and Trey have codified intentionality as a primary writing tool, and whatever this is, doesn't mention that once. That's a pretty major thing to overlook, like a blind spot or achilles' heel of the AI devs. In fact, this is a blind spot of ALL AI that I've yet seen. Matt and Trey approach writing scenes with the following intent: if a scene can be described as following up a previous scene with 'AND THEN', it fails. If the following scene can be described as 'BUT' or 'THEREFORE', they write it and it goes in the show. This is so simple, yet it's completely absent from what AI is doing, and seemed absent from the example script (I'd have liked a written version of their fake South Park script, as it was pretty insufferable). I'm not sure what beyond expanding context length will be needed, context length is merely a technical problem… but this is a significant failing in what we get out of AI. This is where the sea of meaninglessness comes from. Good creators have a great deal of context and intentionality in their work, and for all that Matt and Trey are puerile and crass, they've got a clearly expressed agenda artistically (and philosophically). There's also human creators who are very facile, but very prone to 'AND THEN': AI will have a much easier time replacing humans like this, than replacing Matt and Trey. |
