I say LLMs instead of "AI" in the quote because that's marketing shit and it's a lie and I reject it.

Of course King Bazinga is so treatbrained that he wants the complete absence of artists from what he thinks is art because they might wokescold him and make him uncomfortable while inhaling infinite slop.

I suppose for sheer absurd/surreal/horror novelty, we might get something like this, though.

    People say this assuming that LLMs are not already used in the industry to create the outlines for scripts, with either 'woke' or 'bazinga' moments interspersed depending on what the target demographic is.

      People say this like script templates and tropes and genres haven't existed for centuries.

      Take the Sitcom or the Soap Opera. You can find parallels that map out practically frame to frame - from the placement of furniture to the stage direction of actors to the cadence of speech - between Fresh Prince and Cosby Show or Dick Van Dyke and Married With Children. We've never needed a LLM for that before. What we needed was experienced professional directors and producers.

      That's long before you get into the idea of Wokeness, particularly when its coming from the mouths of people who were in diapers when "Look Whose Coming To Dinner" first premiered. The fucking criticisms are a copy of a copy of a copy at this point. Archie Bunker was doing a parody of these nerds before they were a twinkle in their mother's eye.

      I don't think the technology is there, or really even necessary at this stage. It's not hard for a human to write bad TV. It's a lot harder for a machine to do it.

        I can absolutely see that. But I have also worked with enough executives to know that if somebody under them doesn't shoot it down, they are bazingaed enough to believe the hype and try to use it where it is now, even if it is more actual work.
