So, the website https://chat.openai.com/chat from Open AI has been mentioned already, but I thought it would be funny to use it to see how it would write a classic moment from The Simpsons, as opposed to asking it to write a new episode.
Here I asked it to write a scene about Homer saying it's okay to run red lights, because he's a teacher.
FADE IN:
EXT. SPRINGFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - DAY
Homer Simpson is driving his car, a donut in one hand and a coffee cup in the other, as he pulls up to a red light in front of the school. He glances at the clock on the dashboard and realizes he's running late for class.
HOMER (to himself) Come on, come on, turn green!
The light stays red and Homer grows increasingly impatient.
HOMER (to himself, impatiently) Oh, for crying out loud! I'm a teacher, I shouldn't have to wait at red lights!
Without hesitation, Homer floors the gas pedal and zooms through the red light.
CUT TO:
INT. SPRINGFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - CLASSROOM - DAY
Homer bursts into his classroom, out of breath.
HOMER (panting) Good morning, class!
The students are all looking at him with shock and surprise.
LISA (startled) Dad, you ran a red light!
HOMER (defensively) I'm a teacher, Lisa. I don't have time for red lights!
BART (sarcastically) Oh yeah, I'm sure the police will understand that one.
HOMER (dismissively) I'm not worried about the police. They're too busy chasing criminals to bother with a little thing like this.
The students exchange looks, clearly unsure about their teacher's logic.

EXT. SPRINGFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - DAY
As the school day comes to an end, Homer walks out to the parking lot to find a police officer waiting for him.
POLICE OFFICER (angrily) Sir, I'm going to have to write you a ticket for running that red light earlier today.
HOMER (defensively) But I'm a teacher, I don't have time for red lights!
The police officer is not amused.
POLICE OFFICER That's not how the law works, sir. Running a red light is a serious offense and can put people's lives in danger.
HOMER (dismissively) Relax, officer. I'm sure the kids were more at risk from my terrible teaching than from a little red light.
The police officer shakes his head and hands Homer the ticket before walking away.
CUT TO:
INT. SIMPSONS LIVING ROOM - DAY
Homer is sitting on the couch, grumbling as he looks at the ticket.
MARGE (sympathetically) Homer, you shouldn't have run that red light. It's dangerous and illegal.
HOMER (defensively) But I'm a teacher, Marge! I don't have time for red lights!
MARGE (skeptical) That's not a valid excuse, Homer.
HOMER (sighing) I guess you're right. I shouldn't have done it.
MARGE (supportively) It's okay, Homer. Just be more careful next time.
Homer nods, feeling guilty.
CUT TO:
EXT. SPRINGFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - DAY
Homer pulls up to the same red light in front of the school. This time, he waits patiently for it to turn green, looking both ways before proceeding.
CUT TO:
INT. SPRINGFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - CLASSROOM - DAY
Homer walks into the classroom, smiling proudly.
HOMER (to the students) Good morning, class! Today, we're going to learn about the dangers of running red lights.
The students roll their eyes, but Homer is happy to have learned his lesson.
FADE OUT.
