Arrr, in “McNeal,” the scallywag scribe Ayad Akhtar be ponderin’ how them fancy contraptions be messin’ with the art of writin’, stirrin’ up a tempest o' thoughts 'bout what it means to be creative, savvy? Aye, even the quills be shiverin’ in their inkwells!

Arrr, matey! Gather 'round as I regale ye with a tale from the quill of Ayad Akhtar, a scribe who dares to voyage into the treacherous waters of the literary seas! In his play “McNeal,” he be ponderin’ the curious contraption known as artificial intelligence that be stirrin’ up a ruckus among the storytellers of the realm.

Akhtar, with a wink and a nod, pitcheth the notion that these soulless automatons be attempting to plunder the treasure of human creativity. Aye, ’tis a right jolly conundrum!

As the ink flows and the plot thickens, our good playwright be askin’ if we, the brave souls of the literary crew, be lettin’ these clever contraptions take the helm! With a hearty laugh, he challenges us to weigh our hearts against their cold, calculating minds. So hoist the sails and brace yerselves, for in these waters, the line ‘twixt man and machine be blurrier than the horizon at dusk!
