Hollywood Execs Are Losing Their Minds - Literally
M3GAN 2.0 is flopping—and it’s not just a bad sequel. It’s a symptom of something deeper.
In this video, we break down how Hollywood executives are over-relying on AI tools like Cinelytic and ScriptBook to greenlight movies—replacing human intuition, creative insight, and cultural awareness with algorithmic projections. Research from MIT and Carnegie Mellon shows that when decision-makers lean too heavily on AI, the parts of the brain responsible for critical thinking and memory begin to atrophy.
Add to that the social disconnect between studio executives and real audiences, and you get the “M3GAN Paradox”: a sequel greenlit by a machine, based on a meme, released in the wrong season—and now collapsing at the box office.
Hollywood’s not just out of touch. It’s losing its ability to think.
