I loved this when he posted it. Taking this a step further, and being facetious, I'm thinking of starting my own network! It's all me, all the time. Sometimes I'll be a nature show, sometimes I'll be in a spy movie, sometimes I'll have the guys from Mystery Science Theater 3000 cracking jokes at how dumb I am. Can't be that hard to do what this guy did, only in twenty-four different genres, one for each hour of the day. Turn it on, let it play. I think it would be fun. Having said that, can you imagine somebody with mental illness, perhaps that makes them paranoid, having an AI interweave them into a spy thriller or murder mystery? People already took computers too seriously before ChatGPT and the like. Having some official-sounding narrator, somebody you know from previous appearances, helping you out in your fantasy life? As much fun as this is going to be, it also bothers me quite a bit.

Have you tried to get a GPT to write a joke? It’s got a ways to go.

    That article is pretty incredible. The movie industry is going to be a wild ride over the next few years.

    The author just casually glosses over this point and never returns to it > One of the reasons I find these programs scary is that they seem to want to murder humans. They talk about it a lot, even when you ask them to be nice.

  It’s not funny because it’s “aligned”. You can’t be funny with all those restrictions.

    I was not allowed to make a meme of me with a gas can in the datacenter lighting the servers on fire as it was decommission time. It instead suggested i give it a goodbye party. Funny and a little scary at the same time.

    It’s not funny because it doesn’t know what it’s talking about and there’s a big gap between “follows the rules of jokes” and “actually amusing”

      No, I used GPT-3 before ChatGPT was even released, and it was decent at making jokes. It even wrote some dialogue between various artists and poets ruthlessly insulting each other, but unfortunately I forgot to save it. ChatGPT is very similar, but with a chat interface and much more aligned, so I don't see why 3.5, much less 4, couldn't write decent jokes.

    If you're not capable of being funny within restrictions, then the problem is you, not the restrictions. Transgressive humour can be funny; having to be transgressive for humour is lazy.

  I've found that if you tell it to do it in the style of a particular comedian, it does an OK job: https://chat.openai.com/share/f0d4069a-f05a-49df-824d-ac66c98d3fce https://chat.openai.com/share/f0d4069a-f05a-49df-824d-ac66c9... Don't get me wrong, that isn't comedy gold...especially if you don't know the kids show I asked it to base the set on. Still, I think it did alright.

I have a feeling your API costs would definitely creep up quicker than you realise...
