Studios can tell when a script was written by AI. So can producers, assistants, and readers. They are trained to spot it. If your screenplay sounds artificial, it will be rejected quickly.
This guide explains how Hollywood identifies AI-generated scripts and what you can do to avoid that mistake.
What Makes a Script Sound Like AI
AI writing is easy to recognize once you’ve seen enough of it. These are the most common signs:
- Flat dialogue
Characters speak in the same tone. Their lines lack rhythm and personality. Nothing sounds natural. - Mechanical pacing
Scenes move in a straight line. They follow a pattern but lack variation. There is no sense of timing. - No subtext
Characters say exactly what they mean. Nothing is implied. Readers don’t get to interpret anything. - Repetitive phrasing
Certain words or structures repeat often. It becomes distracting. It sounds robotic. - Emotion without depth
Characters react, but the feelings do not connect. The writing describes events, not experiences.
These issues make it clear that the script was not shaped by a real writer.
How to Avoid These Problems
If you are writing the script yourself, here are some things to keep in mind:
- Give characters distinct voices
No two people speak the same way. Make each character sound like a real person. - Use silence and action
Not everything needs to be explained. Trust the audience to understand what is happening. - Cut what doesn’t serve the story
Each scene should have a purpose. If it doesn’t, remove it. - Read your script out loud
This helps catch awkward lines and pacing issues. - Get feedback from a real person
Someone else can see what you missed. Feedback makes the work stronger.
