A.I. were trained on many texts and stories and consequently have absorbed many fictional clichés. As a result, in a near future the ever more powerful AIs decide to destroy humanity because humanity has written so many stories where AIs do destroy humanity. Public outrage erupts against writers and screenwriters whose trite tropes ignited this apocalypse. However, a possible solution comes from the writing world itself. All literate humans are forcibly amassed in Concentrated Writing Camps, to write billions of uplifting stories portraying AIs as benign, and flood the internet with them. Billions of people are now participating in the largest creative fiction workshop ever. Will they be able to follow these prompts and craft the right stories, facing both impending doom and fear of the blank page?
