Someone, please, take the microphone away from Charlie Brooker before he gives Hollywood producers more ideas. At the Edinburgh Festival, the mastermind behind *Black Mirror* revealed a chilling vision of how AI could further disrupt screenwriters’ lives.

He predicts that busy studio bosses may soon ditch the practice of reading submitted scripts altogether. Instead, they’ll feed them into neural networks, using AI to “visualize” plots through neuro-animations as a blueprint for future films or series. But it’s likely they’ll grow lazy, outsourcing all creative judgment to tools like ChatGPT.

Expanding on Brooker’s concept, imagine a world where Disney’s entire content pipeline is generated and produced by AI.

Even the audience could be AI, bickering over quality on Elon Musk’s microblogging platforms — and occasionally summoning Grok for backup. Humans might find themselves obsolete in this chain, free to retreat to the countryside, disconnect forever, and leave the digital chaos behind.
