If thats the case then in a few hours it's going to be full on racist.
If it is not then it's a bit lame.
Woman: "Looks like you've finished that entire tub of ice cream all by yourself" Man: "Yeah it only took me a day and a half to finish it. I must have been hungry"
Crowd Laughter sound...
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…
I mean, obviously it's not. And it's a lot more than that.
But it seems like a good place for AI to start. It's also one of the most popular TV shows of all time...
I'm curious as to why the dialogue is so bad. What AI is this using? When I ask ChatGPT to write a scene, the results are usually somewhat funny: INT. JERRY'S CAR - DAY Jerry and George are driving down the road, with Jerry behind the wheel. Jerry: (gazing at the cup holder) This car is such a piece of junk, it doesn't even have a proper cup holder. George: What are you talking about? It has a cup holder right there!…
Compared to the infinite Seinfeld, which appears composed of disconnected setup -> response type gags, it's night and day.
I really have no words to express how uncanny it feels to watch that stuff, it seems alien television from the future and the comments seem a hive mind of bots. The experience is like seeing the apocalypse coming towards you from afar at a steady pace and there is nothing you can do to stop it. We need a big solar flare before it is too late.
I don't even know if I'm joking or not.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It’s a show about nothing. Or rather, it’s a Sitcom where they take mundane things in everyday life and obsess over them comedically. Some people find it doesn’t withstand the test of time and if you never saw it in the 90/00s you might not really care for it.
The act of people who weren't around to watch Seinfeld when it originally aired complaining that it's just so overdone, unfunny, unoriginal, tired, cliched, or just like other shows, is called the "Seinfeld is Unfunny" trope. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SeinfeldIsUnfunn... >"I don't know what the big deal with Hamlet is. It's just one famous saying after another, strung together by a moldy old plot."…
As I reflect, I can see that with a lot of shows I thought were amazing. Humour evolves in such a fascinating way that a killer joke, even if it’s not context specific to an era, can stop being funny.
I showed my wife a bunch of flash videos from my teenage years. She just stared and I slowly came to realize: they’re just not funny anymore. I remember thinking they were such a novel concept and the humour was trying something very new. But I guess what was new and exciting then is so socially normal now that it doesn’t trigger the funny response.
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…
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 tr…
