TV Writers Stunned as Fictional AI Story Accidentally Mirrors ChatGPT's Rapid Advance
-
The story for A Murder at the End of the World was originally conceived in 2019, before AI like ChatGPT existed. The writers did not anticipate how realistic it would become.
-
The inspiration came from the writers' friends attending tech retreats at the compounds of billionaires, which raised questions about the billionaires' intentions.
-
When writing the story, the writers got access to a primitive AI chatbot that was not very capable, confirming that AI was still unrealistic.
-
But then ChatGPT launched and suddenly made AI much more advanced and the story accidentally became "real life."
-
The writers left open the possibility of a second season but said it would depend on finding a good ending.
