       | similarities in plot arcs for new movies.

       | As far as I can tell the WGA is quite open to writers using AI as
       | a helpful writing Tool. What they are trying to limit is studios
       | using AI as a tool to screw over writers.
       | 
       | For example, a studio could use an AI system to generate a short
       | story and then ask the writer to adapt that, which significantly
       | impacts the credits and renumeration the writer would receive for
       | doing the entire writing process.
