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

Given that they were originally cranking episodes out in less than a week, yeah probably. I remember being astonished when their Elian Gonzalez episode aired four days after the raid, directly referencing it.

Take a look at the documentary "Six days to air", where they follow the making of the Human Cent-ipad episode.

Weird 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, we…

That video you linked looks like homeland season 1!

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?

I was asking myself the same, trying to decide if the paper had been AI-generated as some sort of meta-"Gotcha!"

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.

I mean, the right has its own form of political correctness (it's not OK to say climate change is real, that non-heterosexuals have rights etc etc)

If you're taking the concept "Political Correctness" to mean keeping people ideologically in line through policing their speech, then yes, sure. What you're describing is more akin to the original "Political Correctness" which was coined by the NYTimes to describe what the Nazi party was doing.

But that's not what the debate about inclusive language is about now, and it wasn't about that back in the day when the PC term was first applied. That's what they want everyone to believe it is about, hence the specific phrase they applied to it. They wanted to shift the perception of the issue, and it seems like it's worked on a lot of people, hence the downvotes on my post.

It's no different than branding the ACA "Obamacare" when it was extremely similar to proposals Republicans made in the past. This time around, it's a crazed socialist plan because a Democrat is proposing it.

The language is thick as well as rambling. It's obfuscation. Huge sentences a human would attempt to break up for clarity ramble on. It does feel like someone apeing writing "a big fancy soundin' science paper." It's hitting that uncanny valley of writing for me.

Oh dear. I see a wave of horrible AI-generated cartoon videos targeting kids coming to a YouTube near you soon…

yeah it feels like we've already hit rock bottom as far as child content on YouTube...i don't want to be proven wrong though.

> The Slot Machine Effect refers to a scenario where the generation of AI-produced content feels more like a random game of chance rather than a deliberate creative process. This is due to the often unpredictable and instantaneous nature of the generation process. Current off-the-shelf generative AI systems do not support or encourage multiple creative evaluation steps in context of a long-term creative goal

I’m really interested to see the new UIs we come up for this. Rather than a sequential conversation, perhaps more like a tree of possible dialogs/scenes.

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 think most people with decency don’t curse around other people who aren’t cursing.

I am definitely not conservative. I will text my friends and say “hey let’s go out and drink, cuss and tell lies”.

It seems like it could well be fake. The Twitter account that launched this paper [1] links to a website [2] for the company with a fake address and what seems like fake employees (they all have no LinkedIn profiles). The address is 500 Baudrillard Drive, San Francisco, CA 94127 which doesn't exist, but Jean Baudrillard [3] was a French sociologist and philosopher focused on media, culture, technological communicatio…

Ironically, while the paper is incoherent, it's weird terminology and reasoning makes it more entertaining than the generated episode: "While using and prompting a large language model as part of the process can introduce "several30 challenges". Some of them, like hallucinations, which introduce uncertainty or in more creative terms "unexpectedness", can be regarded as creative side-effects to influence the expected story outcome in positive ways."
