Writing the script for a Seinfeld scene was one of the first use cases I tried on chatgpt last year. I kept a copy.
There is some sort of intersection between A Show About Nothing and an AI that creates empty responses from everything.
INT. MONK'S CAFE - DAY
Jerry, George, and Elaine are sitting at a table. Kramer enters and sits down.
Kramer: Hey, guys.
Jerry: Hey, what's up, Kramer?
Kramer: I've been having some trouble with this new Microsoft Teams thing at work. I need to use it for a video conference but I don't know how.
George: (sarcastically) Oh no, not Microsoft Teams. That's the end of the world.
Elaine: (laughing) Come on, George. It's not that bad.
Jerry: Yeah, it's not rocket science, Kramer. Just click on the icon, join the meeting, and turn on your webcam.
Kramer: (frustrated) I've tried that, Jerry. But then all these different tabs and options pop up and I don't know what to do.
Elaine: (sympathetically) It can be overwhelming at first. But just take it one step at a time and you'll figure it out.
Kramer: (sighing) I guess you're right.
Jerry: (joking) And if all else fails, just hold up a piece of paper with your face on it to the webcam.
(audience laughs)
George: (serious) Actually, that's not a bad idea.
(audience laughs)
Kramer: (smiling) Thanks for the advice, guys. I'll give it another try.
(Kramer exits the cafe)
Jerry: (to George and Elaine) I think Kramer is going to have a tough time with Microsoft Teams.
Elaine: (laughing) Oh, I have no doubt.
(audience laughs)
(end scene)
- bryanrasmussen 4y agoI know it's only ChatGPT but I'm offended at how badly the characters are written.
- tunnuz 4y agoSame! With a good prompt it can produce something quite uncanny.
- trompetenaccoun 4y agoMaybe because mainstream comedy shows all follow canned patterns with lame and unoriginal jokes. To the point that even a machine can write a script that sounds very similar. Stuff like Friends or Big Bang Theory would probably work very well too.
- k12sosse 4y agoMarried.. with children would be a great candidate.
- cerved 4y agoThe rest of the episode continues with Kramer getting a wild streaming setup, Elaine setting up Teams for Peterman and George quite quitting by mounting a picture in front of his webcam
- nightowl_games 4y agoThat is so much better than this twitch stream.
- triggercut 4y agoI did the same. But had it specifically set in 2021 Also set in the restaurant. George gets a job as an "Uber Delivery"* driver and Kramer is excited about VR. *Is that a thing? I don't think I've seen that where I am
- nmz 4y agoAlthough Seinfeld advertises itself to be a "show about nothing", in reality its a comedy about social protocols and conventions.
- ksherlock 4y agoDid you request the Microsoft Teams product placement (cough* ad cough) or is that why Microsoft is investing billions?
