"Don't Hire Me, Let the Bots Do It"
(a micro film script)

INT. YOUR OFFICE - DAY - A TRICKY ZOOM CALL

YOU

(struggling to make eye-contact with me)

So, Catherine ... this is a bit awkward.

Thing is, we don't have the budget or time to brief you

on that script for our company video

ME (ON SCREEN)

Let me guess ... you're going to ask the ai thingy to do it,

and see what it spits out?

YOU

That's the plan.

Knock yourself out.

YOU

You don't sound too bothered?

(leans back in chair, hint of a smile)

Because I know when you read the hollow, generic, tone-less output,

you'll be back to me for a complete re-write.

YOU

You think?

Thing is; if you're happy with your comms sounding exactly

like everyone else's, then go for it but...

if you want authentic and memorable messaging, specific

to your company, you call in the human writers...

YOU

Like you?

Yep. Me and my special set of skills...

YOU

You're Liam Neeson now?

I doubt Liamo could knock out a piece of sparkling content

as effortlessly as I can - just sayin...

YOU

Hear you but ... this time we're going with the bot.

No hard feelings?

None at all.

(beat)

Though I could still block-off time for a re-write, just in case?

YOU

(drops voice to a whisper)

Er yes ... let's do that.

FADE OUT ON: ME, HIGH-FIVING MYSELF. Robots - 0 / Catherine - 1
