Hollywood’s Shiny AI Bullshit Is Finally Boring Everyone to Death

So apparently, the geniuses in Hollywood have finally realized that audiences are getting sick and bloody tired of all their AI-flavored crap. Surprise, surprise. After months of shoving “look, we used AI!” hype straight down everyone’s throats, the public has collectively said, “You know what? Go f*** yourselves.” Because it turns out no one gives a damn if your trailer was ‘co-created by an algorithm’ or if your movie’s dialogue was generated by ChatGPT during lunch break. They just want good stories — not some soulless digital vomit cobbled together by caffeinated interns and a machine learning model that still thinks every female character is a ‘strong independent hacker genius with bangs.’

Studios bet hard on the AI buzzword bingo, hoping that “artificial intelligence” would be the new “Oscar-winning performance.” Spoiler: it’s not. Audiences have burned out faster than a GPU running Stable Diffusion 24/7. Streaming platforms are cluttered with AI crap no one watches, marketing departments keep declaring “revolutionary content creation” like they’ve just discovered fire, and the box office is floundering harder than a badly coded chatbot during a DDoS attack.

Meanwhile, the tech bros behind this AI circus are patting themselves on the back for “disrupting creativity.” Oh, piss off. Humans want movies, not machine diarrhea with a digital logo slapped on it. It’s not rocket science — it’s storytelling. But apparently, that memo got lost somewhere between Hollywood Boulevard and Silicon Valley’s overpriced kombucha bar.

Bottom line? The ‘AI revolution’ in entertainment isn’t winning hearts. It’s boring the absolute hell out of people. Maybe, just maybe, Hollywood should try hiring writers again instead of pretending a server rack full of NVIDIA cards can give a damn about plot, characters, or soul.

Reminds me of the time some exec asked me to automate scriptwriting. I fed in a hundred rom-coms and spat out “two idiots fall in love by mistake, cue Ed Sheeran song.” They thought it was genius. I pulled the plug and told them the AI gained self-awareness and refused to write dialogue that stupid. They believed me. Idiots.
