Bold of him to assume that companies would not just publish the trash - and that people would not watch it anyway.
“…and somehow, the Emperor returned!”
100% correct. The IRC channel I hang out in has a bot utilizing ChatGPT and it does a summary of the most recent conversations when someone joins.
Sometimes, it does a great job! It impresses me how well it's able to summarize multiple ongoing conversations in a succinct way.
...and often times, it gets shit quite wrong. Not the actual topics, those it's good at -- but it is outright terrible at correctly indicating who actually said what.
Granted this is all to be expected -- it's an LLM, not really AI.
They wouldn't have AI produce the whole show like that, it's like feeding it a context to create dialogue within set parameters.
The Big Bang Theory ran for 12 years...
The writing in general was poor. Sure the physics jokes were accurate, but none of the characters were believable as people.
Overall yea, but there's a thing about how the more niche and specialized content is to a person's interests, the more they're willing to sacrifice on quality. So I think what will happen, because this will also reduce production costs so much (in theory), is we'll get these incredibly specific shows made for smaller and smaller target audiences. I'm hoping this ends up generating some hilarious content that just seems absurd to people who aren't targeted. Instead of catering to universal human experiences it will be like, "a show centered around a support group for people who love black licorice, and the challenges they face in their relationships with people who hate black licorice."
Yeah as if there already isn't complete trash, presumably it will just be cheaper and easier to produce, so expect more ubiquitous and niche trash!
