Will McFadden says he made the 10-minute musical 'My Little A.I.,' which advanced to the finals at Santa Monica's Brisk Festival, as a way to 'highlight the weaknesses and limitations of AI when it comes to creative work.'

Judging by the audience reaction, the musical was the hit of the night and based on attendee votes, it moved on to the Brisk Festival finals scheduled for Sept. 2. McFadden is aware that his fellow creatives may be less enthused. “I used ChatGPT to help me create this show and to be clear, the script that it generated is not good in my opinion. The characters are one dimensional, the dialogue is clunky and a lot of the lyrics don’t really make sense.
His other intention with the show? To inspire discussion around the ethical use of AI tools, says McFadden, a Brisk Festival veteran who previously won first place with one of his plays. “First off, I think there is a serious need for regulation and oversight regarding the use of artificial intelligence.
