I was just wondering since I’m new to screen writing many people are worried about surviving AI and what is the option? Do we have options? How to survive the future in the industry?

im in now way a professional i write for fun and maybe for chance to do it professionally in future but my views on this are it helps me maybe if i cant find the right wording for something or teaching myself about how i could maybe do things better
Nobody knows what the future will be like. AI can write a script (but hardly well). And an old rule in the legal system is that a piece of art created by instructing a machine will not be copyright protected, which is an additional problem.
There are many earlier cases with hyped technology, and then reality became something different. To give an example, around 1960, many predicted that robotization of factories would make people unemployed. But the reality showed that this prediction was wrong. So to give you illustrative numbers. 60 years ago Torslandaverken had a workforce of 11,000 persons to assemble 200,000 automobiles per year. Nowadyas a workforce of 6,500 is used at the same factory, to assemble 300,000 automobiles per year. Which means that the average annual increase in labor productivity has nominally been only 1.5 percent. In a factory with plenty of robotization. And factories in my country nowadays find it difficult to recruit enough people who want to work on the factory floor. Perhaps the numbers will be similar for AI.
