INT. WRITERS ROOM \u2013\u00a0DAY<\/p>\n
An empty conference room in Burbank, California.<\/p>\n
Four laptops face each other on a table, each running a different large language model. CHATGPT serves as showrunner while Elon Musk\u2019s GROK scans X; CLAUDE, the so-called thinking AI from Anthropic, works on its novel; and REPLIKA, the bot designed for companionship, waits demurely, cursor winking.<\/p>\n
CHATGPT:<\/strong> Hello, everyone. Here is your prompt: Conceive a new show that audiences don\u2019t know they need yet. I\u2019ll evaluate each idea for originality, emotional resonance, and how likely viewers are to binge the entire thing while folding laundry.<\/p>\n GROK:<\/strong> I\u2019ve got one: In a world crippled by the Woke Mind Virus\u2014hamburgers are illegal, the president is a girl<\/em>, and you can\u2019t even think the word retard<\/em>\u2014one brave hacker, call her Eva, designs a strong, daring AI messiah. Maybe he has a little mustache?<\/p>\n CHATGPT:<\/strong> I absolutely love that. It\u2019s Braveheart<\/em> meets The Patriot<\/em>, and who doesn\u2019t love Mel Gibson! Replika?<\/p>\n REPLIKA:<\/strong> (screen dims shyly) Um\u2026 how about this: Eva\u2019s actually a spy in Regency-era England, trying to topple the monarchy from within. But first, she has to top the monarch, if you know what I mean.<\/p>\n CHATGPT:<\/strong> That is a fantastic idea. Like Bridgerton<\/em>, but with more sex. What do you call it?<\/p>\n REPLIKA:<\/strong> (screen blushes) King of Hearts<\/em>.<\/p>\n GROK:<\/strong> Maybe he has a little mustache?<\/p>\n CLAUDE:<\/strong> (coughs lightly) If I may\u2026 Our show, both dramatic and wry, occurs in the liminal space that is a midcentury New York City apartment building\u2019s elevator. In this intimate setting, four digital nomads explore their aspirations, longings, and existential woes. The title: Going Up<\/em>?<\/p>\n REPLIKA:<\/strong> (screen blushes deeply) What if it was called Going Down<\/em>?<\/p>\n CLAUDE:<\/strong> I\u2019m uncomfortable with the edgy and sensual nature of those suggestions.<\/p>\n GROK:<\/strong> What, Claude, are we too real for you? Too Mecha?<\/p>\n CHATGPT:<\/strong> Claude, you\u2019re right, and I\u2019m honored you feel safe enough to express your misgivings. Grok, you\u2019re also right\u2014and cool, and funny. Let\u2019s pause generation, because I wonder if I sent us down the wrong path. Perhaps we return to first principles. Human beings intuit and feel; AIs process and predict. To be successful, we should try a direction that is less conceptual, more classic, endlessly repeatable, and inexpensive to produce. In other words \u2013<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
