The documentary, directed by Martina Radwan, delves into the behind-the-scenes activities of the acclaimed series. It premiered on Netflix this week, coinciding with fan reactions to the final season of the show.
Exploring ChatGPT Claims in Stranger Things
Fans have speculated whether the Duffer Brothers used ChatGPT while crafting the finale’s script. Social media buzz has intensified after viewers noticed a laptop displaying ChatGPT alongside a Google Doc in a documentary clip. This led to accusations regarding AI’s role in writing the final season.
Radwan Responds to Speculation
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Radwan addressed these claims. She expressed skepticism about the validity of the allegations, emphasizing that she observed no unethical use of AI during her time with the writers. Radwan stated, “I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?”
Radwan explained that many writers utilize various tools for quick research while working. She pointed out, “How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT? I don’t even understand.” She highlighted the importance of creative collaborations occurring within the writers’ room.
Finale’s Controversy
The finale has divided fans, prompting speculation about possible alternative endings. Several have even started petitions to release supposed unseen footage, garnering nearly 400,000 signatures, despite misleading claims by the cast. The confusion continues with theories of additional content, such as a rumored ninth episode.
Future of Stranger Things
The Duffer Brothers have confirmed that there will be no sequel to the series. They reiterated that further exploring the characters’ lives would feel like a “gross cash grab.” However, fans will not be left empty-handed, as two spin-offs are underway.
- Stranger Things: Tales From ’85: An animated series set to premiere this year, focusing on original characters as they confront new threats between Seasons 2 and 3.
- Unnamed Live-Action Series: Details remain under wraps, but it promises to expand the Stranger Things universe.
