See? It's terrible. No danger of AI replacing screenwriters:
Title: Moon's Curse
Genre: Horror
Logline: A small, isolated town is terrorized by a pack of bloodthirsty werewolves, as a group of unlikely survivors must band together to fight the curse and unravel the dark secret behind the lycanthropic horrors.
INT. SMALL TOWN - MAIN STREET - NIGHT
A deserted small town, bathed in darkness, with an eerie silence that hangs in the air. Streetlights flicker sporadically, casting long shadows on the empty sidewalks. The full moon looms ominously above.
INT. LOCAL BAR - NIGHT
JACK, a skeptical and grizzled ex-military man, sits at the bar nursing a drink. The BARTENDER cleans a glass, glancing nervously out the window.
BARTENDER
(rattled)
You best get home before the moon rises, Jack. It's not safe out there.
Jack chuckles dismissively.
JACK
Werewolves, huh? You expect me to believe that?
The Bartender's face darkens.
BARTENDER
You won't be laughing when you see them with your own eyes.
EXT. SMALL TOWN - NIGHT
Jack leaves the bar and heads down the desolate street. A distant howl echoes through the night, sending a chill down his spine.
INT. JACK'S CABIN - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
Jack returns home and boards up his windows. He loads his shotgun, determined to protect himself.
EXT. SMALL TOWN - MAIN STREET - NIGHT
A group of TOWNSFOLK gathers outside the local church, clutching makeshift weapons. They exchange worried glances, their fear palpable.
TOWNSFOLK #1
We have to fight back. We can't let them take any more lives!
TOWNSFOLK #2
But how do we kill them? Silver bullets?
TOWNSFOLK #3
Legend says a silver blade through the heart will do it.
The group nods in agreement, steeling themselves for the coming battle.
INT. JACK'S CABIN - NIGHT
Jack hears a faint scratching sound outside. He grabs his shotgun and inches toward the door.
EXT. JACK'S CABIN - NIGHT
Jack cautiously steps outside, his eyes scanning the darkness. Suddenly, a FIGURE lunges at him from the shadows, knocking him to the ground.
INT. WOODS - NIGHT
Jack awakens in a dimly lit cave, surrounded by other SURVIVORS. They are battered, frightened, and bound together by ropes. The moonlight seeping through the cracks reveals their fearful expressions.
JACK
(gritting his teeth)
We have to find a way out of here. Tonight's the night we fight back.
The survivors nod, sharing a collective determination.
EXT. WOODS - NIGHT
The survivors break free from their bonds, their weapons glinting in the moonlight. They charge through the forest, unleashing a volley of silver-tipped projectiles.
WEREWOLF #1
(bloodcurdling howl)
You cannot escape the curse!
The survivors battle the werewolves in a frenzied, brutal encounter. They fight for their lives, struggling to stay alive against the ferocious beasts.
INT. UNDERGROUND LAIR - NIGHT
The survivors emerge from the woods into a hidden underground lair. They discover a ritual chamber adorned with ancient symbols and arcane artifacts. They realize that the source of the werewolf curse lies within this unholy place.
INT. RITUAL CHAMBER - NIGHT
As the survivors piece together the clues, they uncover a dark secret. The curse originated from an ancient, vengeful entity, seeking to torment the town for past sins.
JACK
(angrily)
This ends tonight. We'll break this curse and put an end to their reign of terror!
The survivors formulate a plan, armed with newfound knowledge and a desperate determination.
EXT. SMALL TOWN - CHURCH - NIGHT
The survivors gather inside the church, preparing for a final confrontation. They hold their weapons close, ready to face their darkest fears.
INT. CHURCH - NIGHT
The moon shines through the stained glass windows, casting an eerie glow on the survivors. The werewolves burst through the doors, snarling and howling, ready to tear them apart.
A relentless battle ensues, each survivor fighting with everything they have. The church becomes a battleground, with silver blades clashing against razor-sharp claws.
Finally, the survivors manage to drive the werewolves back, fighting their way to the center of the church.
JACK
(raising his weapon)
This is for our town! For our loved ones!
With a final surge of determination, the survivors plunge their weapons into the heart of the ancient entity, breaking the curse.
EXT. SMALL TOWN - SUNRISE
The survivors emerge from the church, battered but victorious. The sun rises on a town finally free from the terror that had plagued it for so long.

Not bad considering you probably just said "write me a screenplay" without training it on primetime screenplays first and being specific about what you want.
You can add to the prompt to make it more mature, have more jokes or less, be more detailed about graphical scenes, or whatever else you want.
Notably the safety features stopped it from starting off with lewd descriptions of underage persons, as happened with the most widely published member of this board, and one of his books. I will not name him for obvious privacy concerns.
Also, try generating multiple examples and choosing your favorite. You can always edit after.
Clearly writers are going to be mostly obsolete. The best of them can stay and guide the AI, fine-tuning the training, and editing the bits that sound too robotic by hand.
One good writer paired with an AI can do the work of 10 before AI. The others will need to get a new job.

@previous (B)
So, no evidence? Gotcha. Are you, perchance, referring to a 3,000 year-old vampire who looks young because she was turned at that age, which, by the way, is a quite common theme in vampire literature?
