Since ChatGPT is an amalgam of all its source material, the best it can ever do is Grade C (average) results — one of the reasons it's so easy to spot. It cannot be brilliant.

I love it as an idea generator, however. In fact, my creative team has been sitting on a project idea for nearly 50 years because of the thousand or so hours of research involved. I expect AI to cut that down to a few hours so the project (and funding!) have finally been green-lit. There's a solo project I've been sitting on since the early '90s for the same reason and I expect to green-light myself and get started soon. That either was finally possible never occurred to me till I took a course based on the SCOTUS ruling & WGA settlement and it opened my eyes to the possibilities and copyrightable uses.

One must do the actual writing based on those ideas. SCOTUS has ruled that AI content cannot be copyrighted, so that should give less incentive for those trying to foist it on us as work product. Had the Supremes not made that ruling, it's highly unlikely that the WGA strike would have been settled followed by SAG/AFTRA. The LOC is requesting comments on Copyright Law revisions based on that ruling. I've read ASCAP's, will look for BMI's and am about to submit my own shortly.

In the case of my two projects, one is looking for appropriate PD quotes — those can't be copyrighted anyway, only the Work that contains them. The other is looking for appropriate historical events — can't copyright an Idea, only the Work that derives from it. This is the true benefit of AI to us creatives as far as I am concerned..
