This paper rings a lot of alarm bells for me. It's rambling, written in a very odd style, and contains a lot of useless figures. Is this one of those fake paper pranks or something?

Yeah, all of my previous jailbreaks like my Andrew Dice Clay one stopped working. I use to be able to get it to say crazy stuff about either Obama or Trump. But I can’t break it anymore. On the other hand “PC” is usually used by the Right. I couldn’t get it to say anything that’s not neutral.
In its current form, it was adopted by the right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_correctness For my money, I've yet to get a coherent answer as to why a simple ask regarding common courtesy ("don't be a dick to people who aren't like you") is a bad thing. People immediately shoot off on tangents about freedom of speech, and "Cultural Marxism" (lol) and what-have-you.
It's probably a matter of exposure. Would you apply "don't be a dick to people who aren't like you" to cis people? To white people?
It's generally where the friction is at. Some people call it Cultural Marxism because Marxism excuses violence when done by the proletariat against the bourgeois and some leftists excuse violence from "oppressed" identities towards "oppressor" identities.

Sounds like more work than making an episode without AI to be honest.

#24There's a dead comment here that mentions the political correctness of the model used to generate the episode. I think this is valid criticism, especially because efforts to "clean" training data of limiting ideologies has shown some fruit.
It's mine and no, it wasn't valid criticism! I was exhibiting offensive behavior but now I know better not to doubt my peers judgement but always accept it wholeheartedly.

#25Oh dear. I see a wave of horrible AI-generated cartoon videos targeting kids coming to a YouTube near you soon…
Re: A full episode of South Park generated by AI
#26Wow that’s actually better than I expected. The Seinfeld show was awkward and clearly AI. The scene with the pig was actually funny - the AI only tells racist jokes because it’s trained on the internet. Assuming AI came up with that, that’s amazing
What's amazing to me is that without reading (watching?) too much into it, and me not being a seasoned South Park viewer, this could easily pass as a real episode.
Skimming the video, 100% of the dialog was plodding, tedious, unfunny and predictable. I don't know South Park very well but I know snappy dialog is somewhat needed. Just as much, endless vacuous paragraphs on the potential and dangers of AI seems unlikely to be what sustains interest in show.

Well, many people getting offended when you take the lords name in vain or swear, but I doubt people actually care on the left that much about being dicks to them. So do you actually care about being a dick to people not like you?
I certainly swear alot and don't care that much.

I read a claim stating that studios were requesting that actors sign over their ai generated likeness to the studios in perpetuity. Which if accurate is insane. Dude could appear for 5 minutes in a movie as an extra, get paid $500 and then never get paid again but show up in hundreds of movies.
Why is that insane? He worked for 5 minutes only. Most people don't get paid over and over for working just once. And in any case it would be easy enough to create a hybrid likeness that combines a few people, with the final result looking like none of them, if you have an issue with the image of someone being used.
How the hell do you build an acting career if the studios can just photgraph you once and then use your likeness forever? It's obviously exploitative. This is why unions exist.

#29Weird watching south park with zero humor in it.
Its giving 'pokemon go to the polls' energy - people using a random pop culture reference to flaccidly try to promote their ideological preference.
I hated it, and was only impressed until I realized how much manual human labor went into its construction. The editorial influence of the humans involved was far too heavy handed. I would have preferred something alien, weird and incoherent.
Here's an example of what AI can actually do - full synthesis of script, visuals and audio. It is incoherent but also strangely unsettling: https://www.tiktok.com/@never_ever_never_land/video/72531490...

The dialogue seems obviously terrible and especially terrible for what's supposed to be a show with a "dark, surreal humor that satirizes a large range of subject matter". 80% of the discussion involved earnest regurgitation of for-and-against arguments for the use of AI. I presume if AI hadn't been the topic then it would have the characters talk about the merits and drawbacks of mid-range jets for small airlines or similarly exciting topics.
