Abstract

The debate surrounding Generative Artificial Intelligence is currently in a fervent moment regardless of its field of application. The audiovisual industry is not immune to this debate, with professionals torn between rejection and curiosity toward this new technology. The development of scripts or narrative texts, in general, has been the subject of technological experimentation, resulting in creations of varying relevance in the realms of culture and entertainment. This research provides a historical overview of the use of Artificial Intelligence as a writing tool and analyses the use of ChatGPT as a tool to assist in the writing of a short film script through the study of the writing process of the short film Nos vemos (Muñoz, 2024), achieving relevant results as an assistant for creativity and narrative analysis.
