South Park, one of the most popular adult comedy series in the USA, has been known for its humorous criticism of a different subject in almost every episode for over 25 years. The subject of the last episode of the series, which was published in the past weeks, was the artificial intelligence models that are on everyone’s lips these days.
The interesting thing is, ChatGPT is the author of the section that humorously criticizes artificial intelligence models. Moreover, this experimental episode may soon change the series and film industry radically.
Episode written by artificial intelligence broke viewership records
Trey Parker, the producer, director, and voice actor of South Park, wrote the episode “Deep Learning” to ChatGPT and begins with Clyde using ChatGPT to respond to his girlfriend. A happy relationship with Bebe, who is in love with the generic and cliché answers of the AI model, Clyde shares her little secret ChatGPT to help Stan, who is suffering from a similar problem. Stan, whose life has changed completely with ChatGPT, starts to use the artificial intelligence model in every aspect of his life.
But of course, not only Stan and Clyde use ChatGPT. Things spiral out of control when it turns out that ChatGPT has other students in the class do their homework.
We may see more threads written with ChatGPT in the future
Although the Deep Learning episode sounds experimental, we have to state that the resulting episode is more fluid and successful than most South Park episodes. It should also be noted that Trey Parker, the producer of the series, has long wanted to implement such a project, and even received an investment of $ 20 million in the past months, in the artificial intelligence studio Deep Voodoo, which he founded for this purpose.
This trend of “writing scripts on artificial intelligence”, which first started with animated series, may soon spread to other TV series. In fact, it seems possible that we will soon see TV series and movies whose scenarios were written entirely by artificial intelligence.
