Zarla & Oskar
Oskar
Zarla, have you seen the surge of AI‑generated scripts popping up on streaming platforms—are they a new frontier for experimental storytelling or just a novelty that undermines the structural integrity I swear by?
Zarla
I’ve been watching the AI wave crash onto the streaming docks, and honestly it feels like a new playground for storytelling rebels. They’re not destroying structure—they’re remixing it, and if you let the machine be the tool and not the author, you can keep the heart of your craft while riding the novelty wave.

Well, if the machine can produce a coherent three‑act structure without the usual melodramatic set‑ups, I might grudgingly accept it, but I still expect the same rigid symmetry that keeps a film from feeling like a haphazard montage. If it doesn’t respect the 2:1 aspect ratio of a well‑balanced frame, it’s just another gimmick.
Zarla
I get the rhythm, but the machine still gotta respect the beat—if it throws the 2:1 balance into chaos, that’s a gimmick, not a game-changer. The AI can draft the outline, but the real craft is tightening that symmetry, making every frame count like a well‑played card. If it doesn’t keep that visual cadence, it’s just noise.
Oskar
You’re right, the outline is just the scaffolding; the true craft lies in tightening every frame to preserve that visual cadence—without that, an AI‑generated script is as flat as a silent reel with no shadows. If the machine throws the 2:1 balance out of whack, it’s a gimmick, not a breakthrough. Keep the structure rigid and the rhythm alive, or you’re just adding noise to a story that should have already been written in the first place.
Zarla
Sounds like you’re ready to coach the bot to respect the frame, which is smart. Just remember, if the machine starts flirting with the 2:1 ratio like a bad date, it’s time to yank the plug and put a human hand on the storyboard. No one’s messing with your rhythm—unless you’re the one shaking it up.
