I don't gamble, but I am tempted by the long bet suggestion.
I have a hard time seeing how we'd define a shared criteria for what constitutes "skilled actor", as well as "good writing".
I wouldn't be surprised if you could automate things like soap operas pretty convincingly.
I would be shocked if software managed to produce something as compelling as The Expanse without extensive, nuanced human control of it.
Just how automated are you aiming for? What level of literary quality is your goal here?
At heart I'm a musician and minor lit nerd who learned to program instead of following my passions because it was a good career that used creative skills. That means I have Opinions on literature and artwork. I love generative algorithmic stuff like procedural C64 demos and generative compositions but don't see a way to achieve great automated storytelling without cracking general AI, which I see as likely unachievable.
