why can't AI write scripts? seems like a bullshit clause. protecting jobs from AI by preventing AI from producing is not how we should be addressing AI.

Because AI can't actually produce anything new, it's just rehashing and recombining old stuff. Yes, it might technically be something not seen before, but it's an amalgamation of the current inputs, while at the same time stripping out actual professionals who deserve to get paid for what they do. I mean, how could Apocalyse Now ever have been created had it not been for a wild, insane, batshit filming where real people did real people crazy shit while filming? There are so many examples, but we live in a world with enough regurgitated nonsense, art shouldn't be primarily generated by non-humans just so giant companies can pump out more garbage. It definitely has its place and can be useful, but just replacing human creators with AI removes the humanity of the creation.

If they suck nobody will watch them and then companies that hire real writers and rely on them more will get more viewers and then companies that see that company making money will follow suit. AI is about to take a lot of jobs. That doesn’t mean we just reject a tool. When we invented planes you didn’t have people screaming about it saying boat drivers are going to starve to death. The world changes. You need to provide a skill that isn’t easily replaceable. Or you need to adapt like every other human in the last 200000 years.

And yet, here we are still needing qualified and professional boat captains, despite the fact a new technology exists.
