The outcome may not be super-sophisticated, including borrowing from the "nano-bot" concept of NTTD. But the software describes its considerations and approach, and then at least provides, uhm, "a concept of a plan" for a screenplay.
I didn't feel like copying the entire output into this board, so I uploaded it to Dropbox as two docx files. Hope it works! I'm not really a heavy Dropbox user, so tell me if it doesn't. (I just sent it to my wife via E-mail, and it did.)

"Cuckoo"
It works, I could read it, but I'm not impressed. It really feels like a mash-up of all films together. But then again, that's what an AI bot does, so no surprise there.
And won't be there for a very long time. It's for a reason humans are programmed for 18 years and then still hardly understand society. For creativity you need a full understanding of the intrinsic value of words - and that's exactly what AI doesn't, and can't understand. AI, or at least the LLM's, are only trained in understanding which word follows which other word the most often. It is, however, quite impressive that it can reproduce something that comes over as reasonable. It seys something about how we use language.

Boy would Aidan work as Bond:
…
Next James Bond chosen by fans who emailed Jeff Bezos :)) =)) :))
Ahh, that's sweet but also sad. =((
That and I suspect him and Moneypenny wouldn't be a good couple in practice!
Why can't Bond ever have a normal life? Who made up that rule? I imagine the espionage fatality rate is not 100%. The Wired "Spy Breaks Down Movies" videos prove somebody knowledgable is able to retire from the business.
To be fair I wouldn't say it's an established rule (there are no rules and in theory you can do pretty much anything creatively with Bond, for better or worse!)
But ultimately I get the sense that's a big part of his character, and it's an idea that runs through the series in various ways. In Fleming you have Vesper, so his attempt to leave the spy game ends with tragedy. His relationship with Tiffany Case ends between books. Even when confronted with the opportunity to settle down with Tracy he becomes worried he might not have the exciting life he had before, and of course ultimately it ends in another tragedy. He's not able to have that life with Kissy either. That idea of fate and Bond's job ultimately drawing him back, and as a result meaning he can never have a normal life, is similarly there in the Craig films.
With the pre Craig films there's always that sense Bond will return for another adventure, even if the film ends with him and a woman in bed. You know those conquests aren't going to be making a reappearance, and Bond likely isn't going to settle down with them (or at least we're never going to see this). I think there's always that element to Bond as a fictional character. He's not able to have a definitive ending in that way. It made more sense for Bond to sacrifice himself in NTTD rather than have a happy life in that sense.
Connery ends up on an ocean liner with Tiffany, Moore Bond ends up with Stacey in the shower, Dalton Bond finishes up with Pam in a pool and Brosnan Bond ends up removing diamonds out of the navel of Jinx.
Clearly the ending of NTTD was divisive, but it was not the end of the series.
James Bond will return
That's great in a franchise where the actors don't age, or at least the narrative ignores their age, like in the pre-Craig films. But the Craig films drew attention to and started to telegraph The End Of Bond as early as Skyfall. That an end was coming, he was facing a reckoning of age, reliability, role, and relevance. It's natural I think for the audience to begin to expect either a dramatic end or a sense of finality that could come with the standard "riding into the sunset" ending which I'm talking about. Plenty of westerns pull it off, sure sometimes the cowboy comes back alone again, but there's often hope at the end of a story. I like those stories better than ones that end in death. Especially a convoluted death. So what I'm saying is I think you're right, that the Bond films should ignore The End Of Bond as much as they can, and can always reboot before having to confront age and ability. But if they choose not to reboot, then I'm saying a walk-off with Moneypenny could be a nice "sunset" moment for Bond one day, but at the end of the actor's run. It would have best worked with Roger and Lois I think. It's the last film, so we don't have to worry about whether or not it works out for them in the end. Maybe it doesn't. But for a moment there was hope for Bond to find some other sense of purpose and thrills in life.
Are there any realistic possibilities for Bond working outside of spycraft? Maybe he fades back into military service as a senior commander of some sort on a ship, and ages out that way. Would go against the having a wife bit, but it could be interesting. I was also thinking he could get into some journalism or PI work.
I agree.
Personally, i just don't see the appeal, but to each their own.
