Can ChatGPT generate a script?

Yes, ChatGPT can help with basic scripts and outlines. The better your prompt, the better the output, but if you're a creator, a professional marketer or a podcaster, you'll get better results using a specialized tool for creators.

With ChatGPT, you need to know how to build your prompt properly to get good results. Most often, you'll find you need to go back and forth until you get to a usable output.

An AI script generator has done the prompt legwork for you, making it easier to get good results fast.

If you use Riverside’s free AI script generator, it’s super easy to tailor the results based on the format (podcast, interview, webinar etc), the duration, the tone and more.

Can an AI script writer replace scriptwriters?

AI is a powerful assistant that can empower creators, teams and scriptwriters.

Especially if you're a solo-creator who managed every aspect of content creation from A to Z, from ideation to set up to distribution, then AI can be super useful. It helps speed up routine tasks, like creating drafts, or overcome creative blocks through creative brainstorming.

It’s also great when it comes to editing and improving the quality of a script.

The magic still comes from your own unique voice, your ideas, and your creativity.

Is it legal to use AI for writing?

In principle, yes. Using AI to assist you with writing your content is completely legal. Not only that, but you also own the rights to your content.

However, there are nuances you should be aware of. The key being in the role AI plays in your content creation process and output. Work that is 100% generated by AI cannot be legally copyrighted and automatically becomes public domain.

Should your podcasts, webinars or livestreams be scripted or unscripted?

This is mostly a matter of preference, but it also depends on things like:

  • The recording format (for example: solo host, interview, panel etc.)
  • Whether you tend to get nervous in front of a camera/mic or not
  • Whether your guests request an outline / teleprompter set-up in advance or prefer a freeform discussion
    And more.

Scripting your content helps you stay on track and gives you a clear vision from the get-go. If you’re recording solo, having the full script in advance means you can upload it to a teleprompter, minimizing tongue slips or having to re-record.

Not scripting your content leaves more room for you to go off on tangents or miss important points, especially while interviewing guests. But, some creators and professionals feel it stunts them from being truly authentic in front of the camera.

As a starting point, it’s good to have a plan before you start recording. Even if you choose to not generate a full script, creating an outline or documenting the core interview questions for your guests can help you ensure you make the most of your recording time.

We’ve got a whole guide on scripted vs unscripted content, if you want to dive deeper into the topic.
