So what do you think of this place?
>> It's a bit odd, don't you think?
All these people talking in funny voices and doing strange hand gestures.
It's like some kind of alternate universe.
>> So that right there is a bit of the safe for cable version of nothing forever.
It's an AI generated Quasi Seinfeld show that have become incredibly popular
in a very short period of time on Twitch despite from my attempts to watch it,
it never remotely being interesting.
But anyway, tens of thousands of people would watch it and all that, up until now,
because it's been banned at least for a couple of weeks.
Because despite starting in the way that you just saw with blocky
low-res AI generated graphics and jokes that are generated by AI as
well eventually it transitioned into transphobia.
We're not going to play the tape of what it said, but
here is a little bit of what got the channel banned for two weeks.
There's like 50 people here and no one is laughing.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I'm thinking about doing a bit about how being transgender is actually a mental
illness.
Or how all liberals are secretly gay and want to impose their will on everyone.
Or something about how transgender people are ruining the fabric of society.
But no one is laughing, so I'm going to stop.
Thanks for coming out tonight.
See you next time.
Where'd everybody go?
It's intentionally surreal.
We can debate if it's intentionally offensive, but
that's where the show decided to go.
And the show was banned for 14 days after that.
Idah, we haven't yet, I don't think touch based on any of this AI stuff that's
become so big over the past few months.
I haven't seen a ton of AI comedy, let alone like a generated show like this.
They say they switched accidentally or briefly to a less sophisticated AI model
and that's what led to the transphobia, I don't know.
What do you think of all this, as a content creator, as an artist, and
a comedian?
What do you make of this?
[LAUGH] What's funny that AI got that algorithm from somewhere.
[LAUGH] It learned it from,
cuz they're patterned after what we do and our behaviors and
what we say, and then they generate whatever is in the algorithm.
I just think it's, I'm so tired of hearing about this gay agenda and
the liberals, because also the liberals are the ones that fight for
the liberation of black people.
And that gay people don't have to get beat up and that trans people have a right to
get a job and live a life without being murdered.
And so you have these people co-opting this with this.
Like I think there are a lot of unhealthy views surrounding sexuality
on every side of it, from the transgender side to the heterosexual side,
or whatever it is, this side.
I just think we have unhealthy views, this country is so,
we're so religiously driven.
It's been embedded in the white supremacy, and in the homophobia, and the patriarchy,
and all of that stuff.
So, of course, those views exist.
But, if you watch that, first of all, I'm offended cuz none of it was funny, right?
That's the biggest offense.
You can write a really smart joke about the gay agenda, and
it'd be funny, and it can be nuanced, and you can really talk about it.
People of color know that there's a history of this country with the way that
people have been treated when it comes to sexuality, and preference, and
identity, and so on, and so forth.
But it wasn't funny and I think that's the greater-
>> Yeah.
>> Offense. It's not smart.
And it really didn't, there's either the aha, or the ha ha, or
you're saying something ala George Carlin or you're being funny, and
I just think, it didn't either.
So I was like- >> Yeah.
>> And if a lot of people are watching that,
there's no surprise people are trying to beat up trans people, and
beat up queer people, and denying them a right to a life,
because this is the ideology that's constantly being pushed out.
>> Yeah, so they say it doesn't reflect the people who make the show they or
I guess the Air makes the show, but they make the AI, I don't know, whatever.
They say, it doesn't reflect their beliefs.
So going forward when it comes back it shouldn't be on there anymore.
And I will admit that while I have occasionally checked in on the show,
I'm not gonna sit there for an hour straight and watch it, let alone for
weeks straight.
So maybe it's occasionally funny.
I just didn't see it.
It was interesting to see like over 10,000 people like constantly watching,
nothing interesting was happening.
I guess there's a novelty to it.
I don't know.
But, what I wanted to ask you though,
Idah was over the past few months with chat GPT, and all that,
a lot of people are worried about AI potentially taking their job.
I'm worried, I'm starting to wonder like how hard would this be the program.
But does this make you a little bit less worried about comedians jobs being lost to
AI, if this is the funniest thing can be at this point?
>> I am so worried about so many things at the same time,
cuz I'm constantly triggered.
[LAUGH] So, but I've done those VR shows before and
I think that we are headed towards what we saw in
idiocracy, in some areas were already there.
And, yeah, there's gonna be a world where people are going to be so
indoctrinated into not leaving their homes, eating fast food, watching, and
being distracted constantly, because it's easier to control you that way.
But, I think I'll have some so much more to worry about when that world is here,
because I will be fighting for my survival.
[LAUGH] >> [LAUGH] Yeah, yeaH,
maybe at that point we'll be more focused on the weaponized
military robots rather than the AI George Costanza's.
But- >> Yeah.
>> But I don't know, I find all of this really fascinating.
It's developing very fast.
I've been actively using a variety of different AI tools so
that would be able to speak about it intelligently.
I think that they are interesting in some ways.
I think they are also shockingly uncreative as of this point, but
that's gonna continue to develop over time.
So, we're gonna need to keep checking on this.
>> For now though, sorry continue.
I'm sorry, I did a show with Adam Sandler at the improv,
and he was talking about how he had surgery that was done by robots.
And I was just sitting there thinking him, the doctors, the teachers,
honestly, it is a concern for people and their, you go to school,
you learn all this stuff, it's downloaded into a system,
and then a machine takes over and if y'all think it's bad now.
>> Yeah, better watch out.
