SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Umi Myers and Mei Mac, drenched in red light, in Morgan Lloyd Malcolm's Dracula at the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith

Umi Myers and Mei Mac, drenched in red light, in Morgan Lloyd Malcolm's Dracula at the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith

Condraculations to @mogster.bsky.social & Emma Baggott for their ferocious, funny & frightening Dracula at @lyrichammersmith.bsky.social. Umi Myers is a captivating Mina, re-enacting her own story as a timely warning to all of us to question who's trying to scare us & why. lyric.co.uk/shows/dracula/

Unsolicited Writing Advice, no: 16: MONEY. The average (professional, full-time) author earns around Β£11,000 a year from being published. This sum, never high, has actually gone down over the past 10 years, whereas salaries in the publishing industry, (though not always high) have increased.
