Summary
Jack Thorne, a successful British writer, is warning that some screenwriters are using AI (artificial intelligence systems trained on data) to secretly generate scripts instead of writing them themselves, which he considers cheating. He is calling for laws to be passed that would ban the secret use of AI for script generation and argues that writers need to be transparent about their methods since AI models are trained on creative work without permission.
