AI is not your replacement. It’s your stress-test partner.
AI Script Lab
Writers who use AI properly do not outsource creativity — they accelerate development, pressure-test structure, and expose weaknesses faster than traditional feedback cycles.
1) What AI Is Actually Good For
Logline sharpening: generate variations quickly.
Structure testing: pressure-test act breaks.
Character stress tests: expose inconsistencies.
Theme exploration: surface subtext you may miss.
Rewrite angles: generate alternative scene approaches.
AI accelerates iteration. It does not replace taste.
2) Professional Workflow
Step 1: Write your idea without AI first.
Step 2: Ask AI to critique structure weaknesses.
Step 3: Generate 5 alternate hooks.
Step 4: Reject 80% of what AI suggests.
Step 5: Keep what improves clarity or tension.
If you accept everything AI produces, your voice disappears.

4) Ethical Considerations
Do not train AI on copyrighted scripts you don’t own.
Disclose AI use if required by contract or guild.
Maintain authorship control.
AI is a tool. You remain responsible for originality.
5) What AI Is Weak At
True emotional depth without human direction.
Subtle lived-experience nuance.
Long-term thematic cohesion without supervision.
Use AI to think faster. Use yourself to think deeper.
