OK, this made me laugh a lot, but it's also really impressive.



The AI managed to craft a coherent narrative with a protagonist, a deuteragonist, an antagonist, and a love interest. If you take out the awkward phrasing and one character being a sentient table for no apparent reason, I could see this being a real TV episode. Not a good TV episode, but a "good enough" one.

Edit: As several of the comments note, "The truth is I'm full of ordinary sounding words but when I say them and you are here to hear them, all is well with everything," is actually strangely profound.

Also, some of the comments are saying it wasn't generated fully by an AI, but had a human enforcing continuity, which makes the story a lot less impressive if true.

They mention Botnik, so I think they do indeed have human guidance. Botnik also created Harry Potter and the Portrait of What Looked Like a Large Pile of Ash, which I remember seeing all over Facebook last year, and I was really disappointed when I noticed that "Botnik is a community of writers, artists and developers using machines to create things on and off the internet." That sounds like human guidance to me!

But Botnik also made this wonderful cooking video, so I can't stay mad at them:

Another example of AI that isn't is Duplex. Turns out an AI isn't setting your reservations but a human.

Comedian Dina Hashem got in hot water for making jokes about the death of rapper XXXTentacion. The only joke in the series I found funny was the last one, though I didn't think they were offensive enough for her to apologize for, much less get death threats over.

Anyways, I don't usually watch standup, but I watched several of her routines out of solidarity, and a lot of it is pretty funny.

This set, I think, is the funniest overall, but it's not on YouTube so I can't embed it.

This set, there are only two jokes that really landed with me, the routine that included them starts at about 2:30, but feel free to watch it all and see if you find the other stuff funny too.

Do you think the Nissan Murano was named after famous auto dude Doug Murano?

EDIT: Holey moley. This isn't 'random thoughts'!
