I wonder how much of a copyright violation this must be. I mean, they obviously fed it a lot of Seinfeld scripts for it to understand the characters and humor. I know HN likes to say "fair use" but I wonder how Hollywood's lawyers feel about that



This is the question I have about feeding scripts to AI. If I watched a ton of Seinfeld and came up with my own idea about a script, is that a copyright violation? Whats the difference between that and an AI bot learning it? I don't think Hollywood or anyone can reasonably expect people to consume some sort of media (whether its a book, tv show, music) and not come up with their own interpretations and ideas around it.


Maybe the biggest beneficiary of AI will be lawyers.


Fanfilms are actually a fair use case I learned recently (went down a rabbit hole after discovering the wide world of Friday the 13th fan made sequels)
