Happy birthday.

*Looks forlornly at HIDIVE*. There’s at least half a dozen shows there that would get more attention than the umpteenth Primal rerun.

Ok, so we know ChatGPT fails at original pitches. Let’s try an existing show - Seinfeld. Here’s one that’s a bit more…unusual but still sticking with the same theme. A bit too…neat for Seinfeld, isn’t it?

First episode is on YouTube for free if you’re busy with the UFC, NBA, WWE or any other sports (real or not) league with an acronym.

The future is now…or the end of the summer if this strike doesn’t resolve itself -

It’s got the Genndy style, but I’d say it’s a downgrade from Primal, which was much more free with how it used the medium. And since I beat the dead horse in the other thread, it’s the clear inferior of Hell’s Paradise. But it has a lot of style points and Genndy is the only one doing this kind of animation. That goes a long way.

We need to call it that from here on out.

Did you really expect the heartless corporation to not squeeze every last cent out of what it can?

All things the AI does not think about. Which I argue proves my point. Let’s give it two other assignments - Credit where it’s due, it did guess the co-lead would likely be Jennifer Aniston. Fun fact here, I basically gave this thing the plot of Transformers Masterforce, a Japanese exclusive Transformers show where the body the driver is using happens to be a mecha that resembles Optimus Prime. Don’t suppose Paramount would be interested, would they?

Guess everyone’s waiting for the Toonami airing. I’m going to try catching it on HBO Max later.

Those need more Head.

This is a bit different from news about the writer's strike. The big studios believe that ChatGPT and other AI programs can make screen pitches and episode summaries that would just require touch ups. This thread is here to show...you really don't want to do that.

I’m thinking about making a separate thread where I go over ChatGPT pitches and summaries, so this stays open for the news.

The robots are going to take your JERBS! Or they would, if it didn’t feel like executives think AI is way ahead of what it actually is. For fun, I asked ChatGPT to make three pitches, a drama about a race car driver, a black comedy about a female beer brewer, and just for fun, a remake of Kamen Rider set in Hollywood. And you’ll see the end result is…kind of soulless. Now those first two seem kind of…flat, don’t they? It’s technically correct, but it’s missing a certain something, wouldn’t you say? That unique energy. Now here’s the fun one - Even if you don’t know anything about Kamen Rider, it sounds…generic as all hell, doesn’t it?

That raised interest rate made everyone lose their shit. Hyper-stagflation or banks crying. Pick one,

An update from Oda (maybe in response to the fake test rumors?) where he is alleging that he does get final say on the project and while it’s being finalized, it will not be released until he gives it the OK.

The first of several airings begins tonight at midnight. Considering the show debuts tonight, I’ll probably make a talkback for it that can be reused for Saturday. And this is going to be interesting. In a way it reminds me of 2006-2008 Adult Swim Action but with far lower stakes. You know, everyone wants a certain show to debut that’s big in the hardcore market, but DeMarco in his infinite wisdom gets a show no one really asked for and is far tamer than what the internet wanted, and then everyone argued on the ASMB for pages upon pages until it devolved into name calling and censored expletives? Anyone remember that? Just me? Of course these days with streaming people have about 15,000 other choices at their fingertips (something that rustles DeMarco’s jimmies to no end), getting mad at the block feels rather silly and kind of pointless, as opposed to back then where what DeMarco said you watched is what you watched, no exceptions.

The D-O-GG had some choice words for CEO’s at a panel where he expressed support for the strike.

Another positive review. If this show flops, it will not be because of a lack of quality.

Well the ratings this week not being the worst ever shows that there is a portion of the audience that is so dedicated to Toonami or just without anything else to do that they will tune in regardless of what is on. If you’re getting max 300k regardless of what’s on, is it necessary to spend the cash?
