We finally did it: devoted an entire episode to AI. And, of course, by devoting an episode entirely to AI, we mean we just had GPT-4o generate a script for the entire show, and we just each read our parts. It's pretty impressive how the result still sounds so natural and human and spontaneous. It picked up on Tim's tendency to get hot and bothered, on Moe's proclivity for dancing right up to the edge of oversharing specific work scenarios, on Michael's knack for bringing in personality tests, on Val's patience in getting the whole discussion to get back on track, and on Julie being a real (or artificial, as the case may be?) Gem. Even though it includes the word "proclivity," this show overview was entirely generated without the assistance of AI. And yet, it’s got a whopper of a hallucination: the episode wasn’t scripted at all!
