With all the panic around ChatGPT replacing the WGA, I thought I'd see what all the hype was about and ask AI for a screenplay "like" SHOWGIRLS.
Honestly, it doesn't suck, but I think I needed to be more specific with my ask.
GLITTER AND GRIT
INT. LAS VEGAS CASINO - NIGHT
The Las Vegas Strip is alive with lights and excitement. We see casino-goers laughing, drinking, and playing slot machines. Among them is LENA, a young, ambitious woman in her early twenties, dressed in a provocative outfit.
LENA (to herself, determined)
This is my chance. I'll become the biggest star in Vegas.
She confidently walks into the casino, catching the eye of an older but charismatic CASINO OWNER, MR. CARTER.
MR. CARTER (smirking)
Well, well, what do we have here? Another ambitious girl looking for her big break?
LENA (flashing a seductive smile)
You could say that. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it in this town.
MR. CARTER (with a hint of intrigue)
I like your spirit, kid. Come see me tomorrow morning. We'll discuss your future.
INT. MR. CARTER'S OFFICE - DAY
Lena sits across from Mr. Carter, who is now behind his desk, examining her closely.
MR. CARTER (firmly)
To make it in this business, you'll need to be tough, flexible, and ready to sacrifice. Can you handle that?
LENA (nodding)
Absolutely. I'm prepared to give it my all.
MR. CARTER (smirking)
Good. Welcome to the world of showgirls, Lena.
INT. DRESSING ROOM - NIGHT
Lena stands in front of a mirror, putting on her makeup. She is surrounded by other showgirls, all of them glammed up, ready for the stage. Tensions and rivalries run high.
SHOWGIRL #1 (slyly)
You think you can steal the spotlight, huh? We'll see about that.
SHOWGIRL #2 (mockingly)
You're just another pretty face. Let's see if you have any talent.
Lena takes a deep breath, determined to prove herself.
INT. CASINO STAGE - NIGHT
The curtains rise, revealing a lavish stage filled with mesmerized audience members. Lena steps forward, her heart pounding. The music starts, and she begins to dance with a mix of sensuality and grace. Her every move captivates the crowd.
As the performance progresses, Lena pushes herself to the limit, executing daring acrobatics and impressive dance routines. The audience erupts in applause and admiration.
INT. BACKSTAGE - NIGHT
Lena emerges backstage, sweat dripping down her face. The other showgirls stare at her in awe and envy.
SHOWGIRL #1 (angry)
How did she do that? She's stealing the show!
SHOWGIRL #2 (admiringly)
She's a force to be reckoned with. We better step up our game.
INT. MR. CARTER'S OFFICE - DAY
Lena sits in front of Mr. Carter, her face beaming with accomplishment.
MR. CARTER (smiling)
You did it, Lena. You've become the star of this casino. But remember, the journey doesn't end here. Keep pushing yourself.
LENA (determined)
I won't stop until I'm the biggest star in all of Vegas.
They shake hands, sealing their partnership.
INT. LAS VEGAS CASINO - NIGHT
The lights of the Las Vegas Strip shine brighter than ever. Lena, now a renowned showgirl, walks through the casino with confidence and poise. She has become the embodiment of Glitter and Grit.
FADE OUT.
