AI Script Readers Are Giving Hollywood Writers Feedback – and Headaches

CNET tested AI services OnDesk and Greenlight, which analyze scripts, comparing their feedback with ratings from The Black List platform and a live WGA writer. AI notes were close to human ones in structure and tone but lacked subjectivity. Unions and writers oppose such tools.

• AI services OnDesk and Greenlight analyze a script in minutes
• Their notes matched The Black List ratings on dialogue and plot
• Main difference from humans is the lack of subjectivity
• The Black List uses only live readers, no AI
