Swiss director Peter Luisi releases a feature whose screenplay was written entirely by ChatGPT, billed as the first AI-written feature film. After backlash, the planned London premiere is canceled and the film moves online for free. The cultural impact dwarfs the production: for a wide audience this is the moment the screenwriting fears that drove the WGA strike stop being hypothetical and become a poster, a trailer, and a play button.
