How artificial intelligence is creating new ways of storytelling

Can a computer write a great novel or a script for a movie? Artificial intelligence (AI) is manna from heaven for sci-fi writers. We've seen a sentient computer called HAL wreak quiet havoc in 2001: A Space Odyssey. We've watched a robot girl's will to survive in 2015's Ex Machina. Most recently we've seen an AI-meets-the-wild-west scenario in TV series Westworld.
