Is the below example ethically okay for a writer to apply generative AI?





I appreciate everyone's feedback from my previous topic! Just finished leading a small two-hour workshop on this and think we learned a lot about the gray areas, so here's one more topic. I'm following about the area that led to the most division.

---

THE AREA OF DIVISION:

Let's say I wrote the first five lines and the last five lines of a one-minute play. Can I ethically use generative AI to help me segue/tie/write those ten lines together and still say I am the playwright?

AN EXAMPLE (I didn't actually write any of this but let's say I did for this example):

Title: "A Cup of Serendipity"

Characters:

EMMA: A curious and free-spirited young woman.
JAMES: A reserved and analytical young man.
Scene: A cozy coffee shop, with a small table and two chairs.

EMMA: (enthusiastically) So, James, let me get this straight. You're telling me that we're all just cosmic collisions of atoms, swirling around in a vast universe?
JAMES: (leaning back, sipping his coffee) Well, in a nutshell, yes. Science suggests that everything, including us, is composed of tiny particles interacting with each other.
EMMA: (leaning forward, eyes sparkling) That's incredible! It's like we're all connected, just floating through space, destined to cross paths at this very moment.
JAMES: (smiling, amused) I suppose you could see it that way. It's the beauty of serendipity, isn't it?
EMMA: (grinning) Absolutely! Here we are, two atoms colliding in this little coffee shop, sharing a moment of cosmic wonder.

[Prompt I can suggest to get a segue: Give me five examples of dialogue regarding how this beginning and end can be connected.]

EMMA: (gently) James, let's embrace the magic of this moment. Let's take a leap of faith and trust in the serendipity that brought us together.

JAMES: (pausing, contemplating) You know what, Emma? You're right. Sometimes it's okay to let go of our calculations and simply embrace the unknown.

EMMA: (smiling warmly) Cheers to that, James. Here's to the beautiful chaos of the universe and the unexpected connections it weaves.

(They clink their coffee cups together.)

JAMES: (grinning) Here's to serendipity and the countless adventures it holds. I'm glad our atoms collided, Emma.

EMMA: (raising her cup, playfully) And I'm glad they chose this cozy coffee shop to create our own little universe. Cheers, James. To serendipity!

(They share a heartfelt toast and the lights fade out.)

[Other points of discussion: What if it was just two lines being added? Or just one line? Or it just suggests a general vibe of what could be said for me to then create by myself? What if there was already a written section here and I asked AI to rewrite it for a smoother transition? What if it suggests rewrites to my beginning or end and then I discover the best segue for myself? Does changing the size of this story change the amount of help I can receive? Should I still be able to put my name on this as my own work? Should I still be able to submit this for producing and publishing opportunities? Should I still be paid if this assistance won me money?]
