#321: His EXACT System For Writing Scripts With AI — Former Ali Abdaal Scriptwriter, George Blackman

My guest is George Blackman, a YouTube scriptwriter who got his start writing full-time for Ali Abdaal and has since written scripts for creators from 30,000 to over 10 million subscribers.

This is George's second time on the show. Three years ago, we talked about scriptwriting fundamentals. Since then, George has started writing his own videos with AI, and he's spent most of this year building PlayWriteAI, an AI scriptwriting app with more than 700 people on the waitlist. Building it taught him something most creators haven't noticed yet: AI will tell you, very confidently, that it did ten things it never actually did.

This episode is his full process, from voice memo to a script that's ready to record.

In this episode, we talk about:

The framework behind every educational hook George writes

Why the setups and payoffs inside each segment matter more than the hook

The ending George puts on every single video, and a twist I want to try on mine

Where a human still has to make the call, and why AI will keep "improving" your script forever if you let it

By the end of this episode, you will have a repeatable system for writing scripts with AI, and a clearer sense of which parts of the work you should keep for yourself.
