Not sure what the guy is worried about, but maybe his own writing is pretty awful if that's his analysis of da Vinci's output. For the hackneyed drivel that gets on mainstream TV then AI is likely to be good enough, but I don't watch that kind of TV because of its lameness. If have thought an AI could reliably write a Simpsons episode without too much trouble if fed the corpus of the Simpsons, but again, we're not talking about a vital media art form.
