Wait isnt this what a financial analyst is paid to do ?

 

 

Hell, you could easily program any decent accounting software program to do that.

Totally puzzled as to why Warners is making a big deal out of what is pretty much something off the shelf business accounting software could do.

Slow day at the publicity deparment I guess.

That's just a DSS. Not sure why that would be the worst thing you have ever seen. It's basically how every company is run, use the DSS to forecast future demand and revenue.

I second that. Wow.

The point is, it would be nice to know that actual human beings are behind as much in the industry as possible.

Reading it over, it sounded like a machine was going to determine what gets greenlit, and...yeah, that's a little bit creepy and impersonal to me. Maybe that's not what it is intended for at all, but it sounded like that.

You're all overreacting. It's an incredibly basic automated analytics tool. Studios are just gonna replace this with market research and analytics tools that are becoming more and more outdated (and less efficient) today. It's not gonna make creative decisions for the studio. That's still gonna be done by humans. Nothing's gonna change for consumers here. 

 

I love how everyone freaks out when they hear "AI" lol.

I guess you're right. I'd still feel better about people doing the market research and analyzing though.

Art shouldn’t be about analytics at all.

You know this A.I. is gonna suggest Dwayne Johnson for every single movie. Even for dramas lol even though that's clearly not his strong suit.

Unfortunately, Tele, when art is a business that's when the analytics come into play.

They just want an excuse to say no. The culture is fear.

I bet Universal wishes this thing had existed a year or more ago so they would've been told that a film adaptation (at least a live-action one) of Cats was a terrible idea that was doomed to fail and saved themselves the humiliation.

The BOT tech team is currently deep in development hell developing an AI to determine the appropriateness of every post as it is posted. Early results seem promising.
