I’m a software engineer and most recently a product manager who is working on AI products right now.
I would love to help with this to exercise my PM muscles in a different space.
could use some decent links for prompters to help the research know how to ask AI for what they want out of it.
This is the thing thats going to differentiate your process by using your understanding of the situation and coming up with prompts that work.

The use of AI to generate show ideas and scripts was at the very heart of the recently concluded writers strike.
The problem is, the way Hollywood develops shows, the use of AI would give them pretty much exactly what they want. As you say, LLMs regurgitate concepts from a vast amount of source material and frankly that’s all executives are really looking for - the same idea in a new package or with just a slightly different twist. That kind of writing is what AI excels at.
As someone who doesn’t really work in the industry anymore but still produces one-man media, this is all thrilling. For the entire economic structure of the entertainment industry, not so much.
If ideas people no longer have ideas and need AI to come up with things for them, maybe they should just be fired and replaced. Removing humans from creative endeavours is abhorrent and you, and...

Removing humans from creative endeavours is abhorrent and you, and the industry as a whole, should be ashamed of yourselves, not that you're capable of such as you chase that very last piece of "margin" into the ever deeper hole in the ground that is "eternal growth".
I just want to say that this is a much harsher and personal take than the discourse on Tildes encourages. Consider that OP is just a person trying to do their job. Many of us are in industries...
Exemplary
I just want to say that this is a much harsher and personal take than the discourse on Tildes encourages. Consider that OP is just a person trying to do their job. Many of us are in industries where we can see decisions made that we disagree with, but guess what, rent/mortgage had to be paid every month. Skills, experience, and personal connections mean that staying in the industry is the most time and quality of life efficient decision. Try to consider the person on the other side of the keyboard.
To your point as a whole, I agree that the media I want to see produced is made by creatives. For every one or two of us who will spend time or money on artistic output there are tens or hundred who want another How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, or something like that. That's what pays the bills and hopefully brings in a profit to produce more niche products. It's why Porche makes Cayennes and Macans, it funds the 911s and Caymans.
I'm sorry you think that was harsh, but I held back there. What they're talking about is destroying an entire industry for more profit, despite profits and growth being at all time highs. Don't...

Don't rationalise greed, please. Think of the people that are actually trying to live.

I think the future is bespoke media. Each consumer can ask an AI for a specific type of story and get it.
If ideas people no longer have ideas and need AI to come up with things for them, maybe they should just be fired and replaced.
