It is true that sometimes it is difficult to start writing. Fortunately, in 2022 we have artificial intelligence (AI) resources that can do the job for us. In 2020, during the pandemic, the Teatre Lliure website hosted an AI device called ENA that allowed visitors to the website to establish a conversation with a bot. In a text box, you could ask ENA anything or explain whatever you wanted and ENA would respond right away. The author of this invention was Roger Bernat, who had previously "fed" ENA with eight million documents in English, including the complete works of William Shakespeare, which is why he was only able to communicate in this language.
Currently, there are many AI tools available to generate all kind of images and texts based only on an initial description (called prompt). In the final result, the power it has previously received from its programmers and the information already existing in the network greatly influences. Unfortunately, the results reveal a sexist, racist and classist bias, the result of precisely this diet.

Exercise
We suggest the creation of a short theatrical text from an AI text generator. Different resources are offered and it is encouraged to also use the automatic translator if there are no Catalan versions. A subsequent analysis is proposed in relation to the biases commented and on language.
