    I think you're underestimating the amount of skill it takes to write a coherent two hour script. There's a reason why even the worst hollywood action flicks, or bottom of the barrel network TV are still much better than one of those low budget Christian movies. I genuinely don't think it's something you can do with 3 interns and chatgpt.

      coherent two hour script

      That's what I'm getting at. Even coherence might not actually matter if it chatbot produced slop has enough front billing, publicity, and a Pavlovian-trained audience to nod along to it. The novelty of it may even excuse as well as sell it the first few times around the way that "Reality TV" trashiness and dishonesty about its own premise was its draw for many people, the flaws turned into novelties.

      "Another Life" was worse than shit I read (and wrote, I confess) during high school Creative Writing classes and significantly less coherent and it got greenlit for a second season anyway.
