The tool’s predictions relied on an extensive data set of past movies, yet it failed to flag the obvious disparity between the two projects.\n\nIf the tech works, it could let unknown writers gauge market appeal without studio gatekeepers. The failed test suggests the model still can’t separate narrative quality from past trends, limiting its usefulness for anyone hoping to avoid costly greenlights.\n\nFor now, Quilty joins a long list of AI hype projects that sound useful until they’re put through real‑world checks.","[\"ai\",\"film-industry\",\"startup\"]","2026-06-05T13:57:31.000Z","2026-06-05T14:14:19.918Z","2026-06-08T14:57:59.461Z","published",null,[],"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.xyz.onl\u002Farticle-images\u002Fai-script-grader-misses-the-mark-on-recent-hits.webp",[26,27,28],"ai","film-industry","startup",[30],{"name":31,"url":32},"The Verge","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theverge.com\u002Fai-artificial-intelligence\u002F943531\u002Fai-script-quilty-simon-horsman-daniel-wood",0]
