When the craze for AI and GPT grew, the world had only one question in its mind: Will machines take over our jobs? Hollywood screenwriters weren’t just asking this question; He was at the forefront of protecting the art of human storytelling. But in a strange, almost cinematic twist, the creators of Netflix’s Stranger Things are now finding themselves at the center of the controversy the industry has struggled to avoid.
Following the release of the new documentary One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5, fans who were already feeling disappointed by the finale now have new evidence for their theories. While viewers have spent weeks sorting out the creative mistakes, a more serious accusation is taking hold right now, accusing Matt and Ross Duffer of not being the sole architects of the final script.
Where did it all start?
Some fans believe that Ross Duffer’s ex-wife, filmmaker Leah Janiak, stepped in to help. However, others are going even further and suggesting that artificial intelligence worked.
But the spark that turned this theory into wildfire was a brief moment in the documentary where viewers saw multiple ChatGate tabs open on the computer of one of the Russo Brothers. For a fan base already disappointed by the rushed ending, this was everything!
The disappointment over Season 5 became so intense that it was born "conformance gate"-A theory where unhappy viewers insist that episode 8 may not be the real end of the show they’ve been watching for 9 years.
After seeing the behind-the-scenes footage, many fans claimed that the Duffer Brothers appeared strangely detached or even seemed confused by their material. This, combined with the alleged OpenAI tab, fueled the rumors, leaving a sour taste in the mouth of the Stranger Things community.
Social media has been flooded with reactions from fans who think the mystery has finally been solved. "Now we know why the finale felt disjointed and incomplete," A viewer shared. The second was even more explicit: "I said this last week. The only way to explain the failed plot of Season 5 is to write it on ChatGPT."
Adding fuel to the fire, the Duffer Brothers themselves admitted that they began production on Season 5 without a final ending. He explained that due to the busy production schedule, he had to start filming early episodes while later scripts were still being shot.
