AI rough, shoddy draft

Speculation about what AI in reality might do to script-writing.

I can't believe this couldn't happen, if someday artificial intelligence can tell plausible stories. Speculation about this goes at least as far back as Asimov's story "Galley Slave". But be careful not to think of ChatGPT as artificial intelligence. It does not know anything, and does not understand anything.

It might be able to script a surrealist absurd movie, where lack of knowledge and understanding might be no problem. But I hesitate to assume even that. The great works of surrealism may well be less random than meets the eye; that may be what makes them great.
