Just searched The Atlantic’s database to find out if AI was being trained on my writing and discovered 161 of my scripts were scraped, and yeah “scraped” is pretty much how it makes me feel. Highly suggest all my peers check to see what they’ve stolen from you. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...
Search the Hollywood AI Database
Use this search tool to see how writing from 139,000 movies and TV shows has trained generative AI.
