Idea for a short story
When he's accused of using AI, a playwright sets about live streaming the writing of his next play, sharing his whole creative process with the world, live as a way to prove its authenticity. As the project grows, the whole thing is shared in this way, the casting, the rehearsals, the staging, every part of the process. The whole project becomes immensely popular, spawning parallel channels as different parts of the audience obsess over specific actors or back stage crew. There are even spin offs for actors who failed the auditions, crew working on multiple projects. Finally the play debuts in theatres and is a massive flop. No one goes to see it, preferring to stay in and watch the livestream of the writer dealing with this utter disaster.
