I’m a Screenwriter. Is It All Right if I Use A.I.?

β€œAnd though generative A.I. was trained on the work of human creators, so were you: Every show you’ve watched, every script you’ve read, surely left its mark. You have no cause to apologize.”

If I have to explain the flaw in this logic, you are too fucked to fix. πŸ–•

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Hard to blame the Democrats for the shutdown when you're in charge of all 3 branches of government, plus the Supreme Court.

IN MIDAIR -
High above a whimpering dog and errant vacuum --
Dusty and Bunny reunite.

They dance and twirl alonsgside other specks of dust set free -- a splendid ballet of ebb and flow.

Rocky backs away with the ball -- drops it -- a single bark.

Then --

A cloud of dust EJECTS. Rocky's face -- covered.

Dusty shoots into the air -- soars -- free!

ON THE WINDOWSILL -

Bunny catches the wind, flies high into the air.

EXT. LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS
The tennis ball hits the vacuum -- switches from IN to OUT.

Rocky tracks the bouncing ball -- tail wags -- set to pounce.

The ball stops at the foot of the vacuum -- Rocky leaps -- paw hits the ON button -- the vacuum rumbles and shakes.

ON THE WINDOWSILL -
A gust of wind blows -- tennis ball rocks -- teeters.
Bunny pushes with all her might -- it falls.
