I’m working on a story about the actors/writers strike — any Disney employees out there? Text me via signal at 202-510-1268; my DM is also open.
I’ll protect your anonymity.
I have image display disabled in Tweetdeck by default so I genuinely clicked on this thinking to see a huge WGA picket line.

Cool News: Tony Gilroy, creator/writer of @starwars#Andor, just announced that they are launching a website soon with all 12 scripts & tons of concept art - all free to read!
He worked really hard on his scripts & is proud of the way they turned out- they are production drafts.
No. An unskilled writer may learn the form and pick up a few tricks, but fails largely because they have nothing to say. AI can learn those same tricks, copy styles, tell stories, but they will not have something to *say* that got caught in their filter at age seven and bent them
