It's also weird because, more often than not, clever transitions are going to be found while editing footage, not during the writing stage.

If you need a transition better than "Cut to the next scene", an AI probably isn't going to come up with it!

Or share the draft with friends or collaborators and ask what they think. It'll turn out more thoughtful and interesting ideas than generative A.I.

If you don't know how to transition between scenes you type in a little [TRANSITION HERE] and continue writing the next thing you do know. Then you leave the desk, take a walk, a shower, etc. It'll come to you.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I didn’t know my family was rubbing it in people’s faces by having a basketball hoop by the garage.

Bob Dylan and Billy Joel were pretty great at what they did.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Sizzle reel so good it almost makes you forget it’s the car from one of the best Simpsons scenes.

Me: I really like the bitchy attitude of this character voice I've been writing, but I'm not sure what sort of story hook would make an audience want to know her better, let alone root for her.

The Dark Voice of Creation: Someone shoots her 10 pages in.

Me: ... That'd do it.

Cool! I'm using a typewriter the same brand and color as the one used to write the JAWS screenplay to do rough draft dialogue that's sure to be just as timeless:
