Common Questions
Our stance is cautious optimism when it comes to AI's impact on screenwriters.
There's no reason to believe that simply scaling the training data forever will lead us to AGI or anything that could be an existential danger to screenwriters. Current models can't perform basic reasoning or navigate complex interconnected tasks. Consequently, character building, dialogue writing, truly creative decisions, and narrative design remain out of reach for AI. As it looks now, these models are essentially chatbots on steroids, not the beginning of artificial intelligence.
In fact, after the initial shock of how well LLMs can create text, creative storytellers are going to be one of the most protected groups when it comes to disruption by LLMs. On the other hand, these models already have great potential to power useful tools in screenwriting (Research, Storyboarding, Table Reads, etc.) And in the long run, this technology has the ability to put the entire filmmaking process in the hands of a single creator, effectively bypassing Hollywood gatekeepers and ushering in a new era of auteur-driven cinema.
We utilize AI at several levels of the screenwriting workflow, but never with the intention for it to take over creativity and allow users to sit back and let the platform work for them. Our aim is to translate real-world filmmaking practices into effective digital tools that empower screenwriters, allowing them to focus more fully on the creative aspects of their craft.
All training data we used came from our founder's intellectual property or was generated from scratch by our team.
While the Storywork platform utilizes AI to run its Chatbot, it does not perform any creative tasks. It merely assists in organizing thoughts and guides users through a professional story development process, where writers do the heavy work. It cannot be used to generate scripts, and it's not going to replace writers. Our platform's goal is simply to replace the live coaching service of Storywork and make our methodology accessible to more writers worldwide.
Yes, any content created with Storywork, remains 100% the intellectual property of the user.
According to the 2023 WGA MBA agreement, screenwriters can use artificial intelligence when providing writing services, but only with the consent of production partners, and they cannot be compelled to use AI.
While Storywork utilizes a fine-tuned version of ChatGPT to power its Chatbot, neither Storywork nor OpenAI uses user data for training purposes. OpenAI's privacy policy clearly states that content from their business offerings like ours is not used to train their models, not even for model improvements due to the sensitive nature of the data. In fact, using ChatGPT through Storywork is more protected than using ChatGPT directly.
While cyber attacks are a threat to any online app, we've built Storywork from the ground up with IP safety in mind. Storywork stores user data in a safe and encrypted manner, and users can also delete their projects at any time, essentially removing their data from the platform.
