Casey Neistat's SECRET to Filmmaking - In a fascinating video, Jack Conte, founder of Patreon sits down with Casey Neistat, to delve into an intriguing question: what gives human storytelling an edge over AI?

‍

The conversation was prompted by an experiment Neistat had conducted, where a vlog was scripted entirely by AI, specifically, ChatGPT. The result? Perhaps the least engaging content Neistat had ever produced.

‍

Casey and Jack attempt to unravel the complexities that make Neistat's storytelling so captivating and distinctive. Even though they don't arrive at a definitive answer, they certainly make some interesting points. If you're interested in where we could creatively be going in this new world of AI, this is definitely worth a watch.
