Earlier quoted context omitted.

You just described YouTube & TikTok. We’re here already, except we did it by crowdsourcing instead of AI.

both platforms are filled with extremely talented comedians, dancers, musicians, and artists

But with way more untalented people just following trends!

This is probably the first time I've encountered something where "It's so bad that it's good" makes sense to me. I could not stop laughing. The exterior shot with the Seinfeld-inspired music. The laugh track at inappropriate times. They talk about going to a sushi restaurant, and when they've finally agreed to go, they sit down and don't go anywhere. This is like the alien scientists who want to bring back humans aft…

The crappiness is unexplainably funny. Jerry speaking the cues in the comedy bits and saying "pause for applause", Elaine clipping through Jerry, George talking to the fridge. I lost it when it cut to an indoor shot with nobody in it for 2 minutes and then cut away.

The seemingly random laugh track really adds to the whole experience.

Great. Now I’m going to be haunted by a recurring dystopian vision of the future in which all content (even broadcast TV) is pumped out this way to maximise profits. Humans won’t use their brains for creativity anymore. Instead, new ideas will be seeded deep inside a neural network somewhere, and our reactions will be monitored and used as one constant feedback loop. Until we are ultimately just sat drooling and gigg…

The movie "Her"[1] is already here with AI Chatbots. I was recently fooling around with open source 6B parameter AI chatbots. The model is 20GB. That's just for text and that's more text than I could read in my entire life. I could talk to the chatbot for my entire life and never get to the end of it. The amount of raw information that humans can I/O into their brains is very small compared to these chatbots. [1] htt…

This is already happening, tales of lonely people chatting with chatgpt for hours because they don't have anyone else to talk to.

This is the future for many future lonely people, some may not even realize it (AI).

I am guessing it wouldn’t be hard for an AI voice generator to impersonate the actor’s voices given the possible sample data available. I’m sure it’s not long before we have completely new AI generated deep faked episodes of beloved TV shows.

They're not even using the real names of the characters, so maybe there's some legal issues.

So, recently, I accidentally stumbled into an almost bottomless pit of romantic comedies on an amazon prime "channel" called PixL. It has a ridiculously large quantity of low-value sort-of-OK content that all kind of bleeds together if you squint. I watch a lot of TV/movies, and it is mostly something to deal with me feeling lonely (which is probably a bad thing to fix, actually: better I get so sad that I quit compu…

It's kind of what people can do already using their own imagination. You can imagine a set of characters and stories that goes on forever and stays the same. AI would just flesh it out with actual writing and visuals, but I'm not sure if it's that is a huge improvement.

It's kind of absurd to imagine a world full of people, connected to the internet, who watch generated content to not feel alone. If only they could reach one another. What does it take to create a clearing house for lonely people to find suitable matches? HN is looking [1] for an engineer for their co-founder match maker. Maybe they can just scale it up for everybody to find friends? [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/…

Meeting real people involves risk. Risk of social awkwardness, boredom, getting hurt, drama, messiness. It's a lot of effort. There are already a thousand ways for people to meet others on the internet, but people choose to passively consume media instead.
