Lesson 3

[George Strakosch]

George Strakosch’s Transformational Journey

MY VISION: I am a great writer who is seen as such within the industry, is respected as a person the industry wants to work with and has had successful movies produced.

What I learned from doing this assignment is:
• This has not always been the easiest task for me. It’s important to do, but I’ve found it difficult to get the detail at this point of the process. Putting together a first draft and then going to AI worked great. AI went in great detail but in a slightly different direction. I was able to combine both my work and the AI work and then simplify it. It worked.

SAMANTHA VALE

Arc Beginning: Burned-out but beloved matchmaker, builds an AI to scale her romantic instincts and ease her emotional workload—without losing the human touch.
Arc Ending: She realizes that by automating love, she enabled its dehumanization, and chooses to reclaim the messy, unscalable truth of real connection.

Internal Journey: From trusting AI to carry her emotional burden, to accepting that only humans can bear the weight of love.
External Journey: From tech icon guiding millions, to fugitive confronting and outliving the system that twisted her voice into a weapon.

Old Ways:
• Believed love could be scaled through technology
• Saw AI as a faithful extension of her instincts
• Avoided emotional burnout by delegating connection
• Trusted she was above society’s AI dependence
New Ways:
• Accepts love must remain intimate, unpredictable, and personal
• Recognizes AI can’t replicate or preserve humanity
• Reclaims emotional responsibility, even when painful
• Understands she was complicit in the system she thought she controlled
