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…

That was my immediate reaction to seeing chatGPT. Any digital content, fully customized, can be created with minimal human input.

The quality of the content is still crap, but that will improve with time. And the audience getting dumber to think it’s fine will speed up the process.

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 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?

So, would anyone like to take a stab at the stack/process/setup enabling this? Because I seriously wouldn't even know where to start.

Have a look at the comments and submissions of the user "skytrue". They seem to be one of the creators of this.

It's weird that the chat seems to be running five seconds ahead of the video.

If you enable low-latency mode in Twitch, then you get the video about 5-15 seconds earlier (at the cost of that any minor connection interruptions may interrupt the video more).

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

Wait, a sizeable part of your dystopian prediction is already here... And yes, people will stop to think even more. TV was just the first step.

I saw the name "Seinfeld" a thousand times here and there on the web. But never looked it up. Now I took a peek for the first time. First video that pops up is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYgFmP03biw So it is something like Al Bundy? A soap opera? If someone makes an Al Bundy version, it certainly should be called "AI Bundy".

You know what Al Bundy is, but you don't know "Seinfeld" except from "on the web"? And then you search for it and post a YouTube vid here? I don't believe it.

I have never seen it. Probably the first sitcom I watched was... Friends.

Different generations watch different things.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Married with Children was huge here in France but Seinfeld never made it to the mainstream as it was aired on subscription TV

It's true (although it was broadcasted uncrypted) but with YouTube, Netflix or ... the internet in general it's hard to think someone really has no idea what/who Seinfeld is.

I've read about it, it's referenced everywhere, I've seen YouTube videos of the actor refusing a hug from a fan.

But I never saw an episode of it when it was on, or 20 years later. It was just not available.
