\u201c\u2026 when I\u2019ve written something, I will put it into a Word document. And recently, the Word document is constantly saying, \u2018Would you like me to rewrite that for you?\u2019 And so I end up just saying, \u2019I don\u2019t need you to rewrite what I\u2019ve just written, will you f*** off?! Just f*** off!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cParks & Recreation\u201d alum Nick Offerman sang from a similar hymnal<\/a> during a recent \u201cView\u201d appearance.<\/p>\n \u201cIn this day and age where companies are taking over the curation of our lives, like, they want AI to think for us\u2026I love my clumsy, stupid farmer voice, I would never want a robot to write my song for me, because my song is stupid in a wonderful, delicious way that\u2019s all about my voice! I don\u2019t want to give over my agency.\u201d<\/p>\n One of Offerman\u2019s compositions mocked President Donald Trump<\/a> during the 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m proud to be a Kamala man, who\u2019s quit the GOP\/ I just can\u2019t stick with the man convicted of 34 felonies.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s hard to imagine A.I. could belt out a tune quite that insightful.<\/p>\n Some artists are doing more than talking about artificial intelligence. Author George R.R. Martin is suing OpenAI<\/a> for copyright infringement. And he may have plenty of company, especially since said suit, albeit slowly, is moving forward.<\/p>\n The collective fear is palpable, and not without reason. If a savvy 21-year-old can use A.I. to create a visually stunning film at the same price point as a studio\u2019s catering budget, Hollywood could be on borrowed time.<\/p>\n There\u2019s another reason for the industry to give A.I. a long, hard look. The computer revolution excels at absorbing content and spitting out new material based on that data. How different is it from Hollywood in 2025?<\/p>\n Yes, too many film and TV scripts feel like A.I. helped write them from start to finish. Hackneyed plots. Predictable story arcs. Canned dialogue lacking in wit and imagination. Here\u2019s betting A.I. could create an annoying GirlBoss character as well as any woke scribe.<\/p>\n Or almost as well.<\/p>\n That\u2019s part of the problem. What about the content itself? Hollywood recycling has reached a fever pitch, and it shows no signs of stopping.<\/p>\n Recent examples include a deal to turn the \u201880s cop show \u201cMiami Vice\u201d into a feature film, one potentially starring Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler. The original saga captured the Reagan era to a \u201cT,\u201d from its pastel-flavored suits to its synth-heavy soundtrack.<\/p>\n Except we\u2019ve already seen a \u201cMiami Vice\u201d movie directed by a key player behind the original series, auteur Michael Mann. That 2006 film featuring Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell made only a modest dent at the box office. Now, it\u2019s time to try again? Why not feed the show\u2019s original episodes into Grok and see what it churns out?<\/p>\n Jose Perez\/Bauer-Griffin\/GC Images<\/p>\n Another upcoming project essentially reboots Sylvester Stallone\u2019s early years. \u201cI Play Rocky\u201d recalls the actor\u2019s battle to play the main character in his original, in-demand screenplay. Studio executives had little appetite for Stallone, then an unknown actor. They craved an established star to play the blue-collar boxer who dreams of greatness.<\/p>\n The film cast young actors who resemble both Stallone and \u201cRocky\u201d favorite Carl Weathers, respectively, although A.I. could have de-aged both for a fraction of the price.<\/p>\n The problem isn\u2019t relegated to the big screen. A new \u201cKarate Kid\u201d musical retells that now tired tale, one that inspired three sequels, a Jackie Chan-led reboot, a spinoff TV series (\u201cCobra Kai\u201d), and last summer\u2019s tepid \u201cKarate Kid: Legends.\u201d<\/p>\n Here\u2019s betting A.I. could write a few wisecracks about Hollywood\u2019s recycling obsession. Actually, here\u2019s one from Grok:<\/p>\n Hollywood is so obsessed with sequels, prequels, and remakes that the next big blockbuster will be Spider-Man: The Origin of the Origin Story.<\/p>\n Hardly a howler, but it\u2019s not as awful as your average Stephen Colbert monologue.<\/p>\n Now, imagine if today\u2019s Hollywood threw off the shackles of its IP obsession and reclaimed the spirit of, say, \u201870s-era filmmaking. That decade delivered rich, complicated stories that brought out the best in Hollywood at all levels. Think \u201cThree Days of the Condor,\u201d \u201cDog Day Afternoon,\u201d \u201cNetwork,\u201d \u201cTaxi Driver,\u201d and \u201cChinatown.\u201d Those are just a few of the iconic films that defined the \u201870s.<\/p>\n Photo by Warner Bros.\/Getty Images<\/p>\n No A.I. bot could replicate those stories. Tilly Norwood would look foolish among the likes of Diane Keaton, Al Pacino, and Robert De Niro.<\/p>\n Maybe Hollywood should view A.I. not as an existential threat but the ultimate challenge.<\/p>\n Hollywood delivered some of the best stories of the modern era thanks to the intense competition fostered by the rise of cable and streaming outlets in the 21st century. \u201cThe Sopranos.\u201d \u201cBreaking Bad.\u201d \u201cGame of Thrones.\u201d \u201cMad Men.\u201d<\/p>\n The industry should view the threat of A.I. as a chance to show those dumb robots what great storytelling is all about.<\/p>\n * * *<\/p>\n Christian Toto is an award-winning journalist, movie critic, and editor of\u00a0HollywoodInToto.com<\/a>.
