8. Limitations

• In the plot generation dataset, the Wikipedia plots are sometimes not written by professional content writers from the film industry. Therefore these plots may fail to include the main events of the movie.


• In a few cases, the model fails to generate coherent events along with the abrupt introduction of characters in the plots and scenes.


• Although it has been noticed only a few times, the plot or scene generated contains repeated clauses or phrases.


• The model hallucinates and generates factually incorrect things, making it incapable of generating biographies or documentaries.


• The plot or scene may not abide by the theme of the input or genre mentioned along with the prompt.
