Just a few thoughts: I think human writers will still be needed in the future, because they can create stuff out of "thin air", and have imagination.
An AI cannot yet, but it will help with formatting better.
The AI will help with the rewriting phase: make sure the formatting is ok, the script follows all the rules as found in books(it could even delete and rewrite some areas to ensure the work complies).
It can help adjust the script to its right length. The AI will add/remove pages, but will rewrite to make sure the story still makes sense.
But writers will generate ideas. All screenplays will be technically perfect.
So what sets them apart are their concepts. You will need a short synopsis to submit.
Then, if accepted, you send the whole screenplay. It will be hard, but there will be companies that write the synopsis for you(for a price).
Established writers need only write ideas. Nothing else changes.
I hope we're far from these ideas here and things stay the same, if not improve a bit(studios more open to spec scripts)...

THE BIG questions...can AI write comedy, wit and style. If not please quickly throw it in the recycling bin until it gets a human writer for a sense of humor, more than a drop of compassion and scene setups outside the box....Remember those "foot cam" shots labeled "foot cam shots" on screen?
