Insightful, robots. The article doesn't cover that. 😂

Pro-TAH-gonist. Guess he was feeling fancy. 🤷I think the way the robots describe the 4 types of conflict might be a little hard to understand, so for this episode in particular, I highly recommend reading the original article: https://writeandco.com/articles/story-conflict
