Scene: Two writers, JEN and BOB, sit at a coffee shop with their laptops open, trying to write.


JEN: (sighing) I just can't seem to write anything good today.


BOB: (typing furiously) That's because you're not using the latest writing software. It's got AI technology that can practically write the story for you.


JEN: (skeptical) Really? That seems a bit like cheating.


BOB: (rolling his eyes) Look, writing is hard enough. Why make it harder on yourself? Plus, you don't want to fall behind the writing trends. What if everyone else is using the software and you're left in the dust?


JEN: (groaning) Okay, fine. What's the name of the software?


BOB: (grinning) It's called "Write-o-Matic 3000." I've been using it for weeks, and I've already got a bestseller in the works.

JEN: (sarcastic) Wow, I can't wait to read your masterpiece. What's it about?


BOB: (smiling) It's a thriller about a rogue AI that takes over the world. The Write-o-Matic 3000 practically wrote it for me. All I had to do was input a few plot points and let the AI do the rest.


JEN: (exasperated) That sounds terrible. Don't you want to write something original and meaningful?


BOB: (shrugging) Nah, I just want to make money. And with the Write-o-Matic 3000, I can write a bestseller in no time.


JEN: (shaking her head) I don't think I can do this. I'd rather struggle with my writing than cheat with an AI program.


BOB: (smirking) Suit yourself. I'll just be over here raking in the royalties.


(As BOB continues to type away, JEN closes her laptop, looks out the window, and takes a sip of her coffee.)


JEN: (muttering to herself) Maybe I'll just write a play about writers using AI software to write stories. That'll be original.
