We don't destroy writing as a job. We improve the baseline. So someone who cannot write at all can produce something slightly decent rather than nothing at all. Also this can be useful for inspiration, too.
It's unlikely that the AI will create the greatest scripts for a very long time. Even if it does, it will be like it's "just one more script writer".
IKEA didn't kill hand made furnitures. But it helps some people get some nice stuff.

I think this, and AI doomerism in general, greatly underestimates humans and biology in general. Humans and biological life didn’t get where they are because competition was non-existent.

It's not AI doomerism, I'm not worried about that.
I mean I don't understand the value proposition of all these tools.
In large part, being good at something is not just about producing text, it's about context, style etc.
Just having a tool which gives you something "pretty good" doesn't mean much on it's own.
People have written the most incredible scripts without "the help of AI". If someone isn't a great writer, do they need to be augmented into great writers so every script is great using "AI(tm)"?
Is the plan that we feed AI all the greatest scripts ever written so writing becomes a toy, we destroy writing as a job and then just have eveyone using "aiwriter.com" to generate scripts like it's a toy?
I think like many things, being a good writer is more than just producing a good scripts...
Makes me wonder where it's all headed.
