Well not only should they not do it, but it’s stupid if they have been doing it and it really shows in the bumfuck meaningless storylines.
Stranger things, Daredevil Born Again, The Boys. These are a few shows that have profoundly disjointed logic in their endings and seems to skip narrative flow just to have “moments” - so many people have accused them of having AI writing. The cast in some cases expresses exhaustion with the sharp change in quality between the start of the series and the ending of the final series.
If writers/producers have been using AI for these things, are they not capable of at least tidying up the little shit dribbles it leaves all over the place where things don’t make sense? They shouldn’t use AI in the first place if they can’t be bothered to tidy up after it
it’s unlikely any of those had significant AI writing. Endings are hard because you have to bring things together and wrap them up, but other people are pushing for moments that make good clips, setups for spinoffs, etc.
I’ve been listening to a podcast called Ty and That Guy, which mostly focuses on a show called the Expanse. It is hosted by one of the writers and one of the actors as they go through every episode talking about production, things that didn’t work, inspiration, etc. Each book generally focused on a single group of 4-5 characters that stick together, with the b plot of the book being somebody else in a different part of the world. The show gives some of those B-plot characters longer arcs across seasons, but it still works to keep the number of spinning plates low.
Book/season 5 opens up with the main group splitting up, but each one links up with one of the previous B-plot characters, explores personal things that they spent four books/seasons setting up, and then they regroup at the end of the book/season. The writer talks on the podcast about how they had that planned out specifically to allow them to temporarily expand the scope without it blowing up in their faces later.

The creators of Stranger Things openly admitted to using AI.
