Networks Enlist A.I. Script Generator to Save the Television Industry

With the Writers Guild of America currently on strike and the Screen Actors Guild's contract up at the end of the month, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers has turned to the more affordable screenwriting talents of artificial intelligence to produce a lineup of extremely cost-effective TV shows. Every night of television requires a procedural drama. After processing thousands of scripts from top-performing criminal/medical/legal TV programs, a highly advanced artificial-intelligence script generator determined that audiences love to watch teams of detectives, scientists, and/or lawyers band together to solve and prosecute crimes. But do audiences really need all the inefficient and costly dialogue between characters, when there could be a show centered on just one character who performs all the jobs? Artificially generated network procedurals are one thing, but people have remained skeptical of A.I.'s ability to write original comedies. Let's get to the other side.
