Why would I pay to watch bad Southpark episodes when I can watch them for free on comedy central’s website?
Our real goal is to have 10 million AIs living in the virtual world getting smarter over time until one of them has a sort of Promethean breakthrough and actually becomes the first AI virtual being.
Ah it’s all part of their plot to bring Kenny to life as an all powerful digital mind.
Promethean breakthrough
Ah yes, how did this all end up for Prometheus?
(E: I get this is also likely not to be a mistake, but them admitting to being lw style clippers (yes, after the sloppers slur, im now introducing the clippers slur, short for paperclippers. Follow my podcast for more attempts to create a wall of incomprehensible jargon).
How about fucking no.
Saatchi says you can type in a few words and the AI will generate scenes — or even a whole show. There are two test shows. One is Exit Valley, which is a copy of South Park set in Silicon Valley. Here’s an excerpt. [Vimeo]
For anyone who decides not to click, you’re not missing out - the “episode” was equivalent to one of those millions of shitty GoAnimate “grounded” animations that you can find on YouTube. (in retrospect, GoAnimate/Vyond was basically AI slop before AI slop was a thing)
The closest that has to a use case is the guys who will do obnoxious parodies because the rights holders won’t like them. Let’s get Mickey Mouse doing something edgy!
Considering Tay AI was deliberately derailed into becoming a Hitler-loving sex robot, and the first wave of AI slop featured deliberately offensive Pixar-styled “posters”, I can absolutely see this happening. (At least until The Mouse starts threatening Showrunner with getting sued into the ground.)
So it’s basically the machine from Rick and Morty a couple episodes back.
Rights holders of Mickey Mouse? The character from the famous public domain animated short Steamboat Willie?
(Pedant disclaimer: I know, later versions of the character are still under copyright protection and Disney still has trademark rights even for the SW version)
