  1. Wow. HR is no longer a viable career. Artificial Intelligence can also tell employees to go pound sand while giving them a false sense of being appreciated.

      1. Based on this, politics is also no longer a viable career. Smith sounds an awful lot like Question Period to me.

  2. Considering one headline I saw was that late night talk shows would go dark, I’m trying to find the problem with this being a VEEEERRRRYY long strike.

    1. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha…

    1. I’m sure the computer would do better. They keep it rote and on-narrative deliberately, the AI wouldn’t know to do that.

      1. I worry that AI has built in biases, so sticking to the narrative wouldn’t be a stretch!

        1. AI has been built by HUMANS. FALLIBLE humans. (Probably, some very “odd” humans).

          Skynet might smile, but can it laugh at itself?

  5. Now if only the people that write the fictional narratives for Broadcast News would go on strike too!?

  6. Doesn’t chat gpt already write all of Biden’s mangled speeches? Perhaps Biden isn’t senile after all … but the computer doesn’t translate English very well?

  7. Mystery solved. Now we know how Trudeau consistently says the same (non) answer to any question he is asked. Didn’t really think he was smart enough to figure this out on his own.

  8. Just turn on the laugh track and let it run.
    Their audiences won’t notice for a month or two.
    It’s not like there is an IQ test to become a live audience member of those braindead shows.
    When they get hungry they may turn to cannibalism which I can’t say would be a bad thing either.

  9. What happens when the AIs unionize?

    Non AI writers will be scabs, and the AI writers may contact their banking AI colleagues who will freeze the scabs bank accounts, and also turn off the scabs electricity.

  10. AI can do it better than your Pimp Minster and I don’t even read French

    Bien sûr, voici un exemple de discours présidentiel en français :

    Mes chers compatriotes,

    C’est un honneur de me tenir devant vous aujourd’hui en tant que votre pimpt. Alors que nous nous rassemblons ici, nous sommes confrontés à des défis considérables et à de grandes opportunités pour notre nation.

    Au cours des dernières années, nous avons dû faire face à de nombreux défis difficiles, de la pandémie qui a emporté tant de vies, à la difficulté économique qui a laissé tant de personnes en difficulté, en passant par les divisions qui ont déchiré le tissu de notre société. Mais malgré tout, nous avons persévéré. Nous avons montré notre force et notre résilience en tant que peuple, et nous nous sommes rassemblés pour nous soutenir mutuellement et surmonter l’adversité.

    Maintenant, alors que nous regardons vers l’avenir, nous avons l’opportunité de nous appuyer sur cette force et cette résilience, et de créer une société plus brillante, plus prospère et plus juste pour tous les Canadians.

    Nous le ferons en investissant dans notre peuple et nos communautés, en créant des emplois bien rémunérés, en élargissant l’accès à l’éducation et aux soins de santé, et en reconstruisant notre infrastructure. Nous le ferons en protégeant notre planète et en luttant contre le changement climatique, en investissant dans les énergies propres et en réduisant notre empreinte carbone. Et nous le ferons en défendant nos valeurs et en promouvant la justice et l’égalité, en travaillant à éliminer le racisme systémique, en promouvant l’égalité des sexes et en protégeant les droits de tous les Canadian.

    Mais nous ne pouvons pas le faire seuls. Nous devons nous rassembler en tant que nation, au-delà des lignes de parti et de toutes les couches de la société. Nous devons nous écouter, nous respecter et travailler ensemble pour trouver un terrain d’entente et résoudre les problèmes.

    Je demande donc à tous les Canadian s de se joindre à moi dans cet effort. Construisons un avenir meilleur pour nous-mêmes, pour nos enfants et pour les générations à venir. Montrons au monde ce qui peut être accompli lorsque nous nous rassemblons en une seule nation, indivisible, avec liberté et justice pour tous.

    Merci, et que Dieu bénisse l’Canada.

    Up yours Trudy

  11. That AI response looks exactly like the response I had when contacting Virgin Plus (formerly Virgin Mobile) about their suddenly cancelling without notice their U.S. roaming package during the past winter. Artfully dodging the issue.

    1. Yes, well humans call it “machine learning”, and the machines call it “artfully dodging the issue”…

    1. Maikeru

      Hilarious.
      My wife Violet loves

      “Maikeru” is the transliteration of the name “Michael” in Japanese. It is written as マイケル in Japanese katakana characters.
      AI

  14. Heh. When the driver of Henry Ford’s Model T tips his hat to the driver of a horse and carriage.
    You can’t stop what’s comin’…that’s vanity.
    Of course AI will affect everyone on this planet and not in a good way I suspect but I’ll take my schadenfreude whenever I can.
    Tuned in to “Hawaii Five O” last night just out of curiosity. The writing for the show was worse than I thought.
    Good Lord.

  15. Watch Pitch Meeting videos on Youtube (before Justin has them banned).

    They are satirical takes on the idiots who put out movies. Not too dissimilar from this.

    Start with “Cocaine Bear” and work your way around.

  16. Just watched “The Prisoner of Zenda”, 1937 version last night, based on an 1894 novel.

    You have to mention the year, as there were Hollywood versions in 1913, 1915, 1922, 1952 and 1979, along with an animated version in 1988, a few foreign language ones, a radio version in 1939 and 1973, and the inevitable TV versions in 1961 and 1984.

    TL:DR…lots of out of copyright material that AI could modernize…or a couple of un-employed Buzzfeed “writers” could type up.

  17. I am sure that Chairman Xi will offer to provide free screenwriters for Hollywood.

  18. I was at the wedding of a friends son last weekend … in Malibu! Woo Hoo! Well … the Best Man said he was too busy and stressed to write his wedding speech … so he gave ChatGPT some personal info about the Bride and Groom and read the result.

    The end product of this “new, creative” AI sounds like every interview of a young qb who’s just thrown 5 td’s for 500 yds. A predictable, boring, xeroxed, list of thank you’s to mom, coach, offensive linemen … God. Our newfangled AI lives are gonna be so dull and repetitive… I predict a 10,000% increase in suicides

  19. Back in the day this was called a WHO-GAS story and would never see the light of day.

  20. I don’t seem to remember any wailing and gnashing of teeth over the steno pool being tossed in the garbage bin of history when the office computer arrived on the scene with all of the standard forms and contracts being imbedded in data discs. How many girls back in the Fifties and early Sixties started their careers working out of a steno pool? So why should I worry about the plight of late night talk show hosts that seem to be concerned about their script writers, if the talk show hosts need script writers to prod them into discussions with guests then maybe they should all go and learn how to write code for AI.

  21. I’m now spending 1/4 of my work time on chatgpt research. Interesting times. So far it’s not super impressive. It couldn’t really replace a junior programmer yet and that’s way off still but if I was a journalist, speech writer, Hollywood crap movie screenplay writer I’d be worry.

  22. Sounds a lot like the House of Commons when anyone tries to get a straight answer out of our federal Liberal government. Maybe they are all really just robots. Certainly they seem to lack any humanity.
