Rom-Com ‘Love Again’ Proves That Even Céline Dion Makes Bad Choices
The concept of AI writing movies and TV shows has been at the forefront of much discussion in the past few weeks, and the latest studio rom-com Love Again seems to follow that trend.
There was an intense reaction after major Marvel player Joe Russo claimed that AI could be a helpful tool in screenwriting. One of the current items that studios and writers are bargaining over in the ongoing WGA strike is the concept of AI replacing human writers’ work. Well, it turns out that Love Again is timed perfectly to prove that AI should not, could not, and would never replace living, breathing writers.
It’s not that Love Again has a script so marvelous that ChatGPT could never replicate it. In fact, we’re looking at the exact opposite situation here: Love Again is a rom-com so uncharming that the film’s dreadfulness can only be attributed to human error. No AI would mistake Céline Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On,” calling it “My Heart Still Goes On” instead. ChatGPT would get that title correct, whereas Love Again brutally misnames the singer’s hit while also misusing her talent.
