Interesting read. If ChatGPT is used correctly it can be a helpful tool, but it cannot do it all yet. The article even states that ChatGPT helped identify some of the writing cliches in Black Mirror. But expecting ChatGPT to come up with an entirely new idea for an episode is not going to work. It also makes me question how much effort was put into the prompt. There is a big difference between "make me a Black Mirror script" and using multiple prompts to generate episode ideas, then character ideas, then a basic script from one idea and one character, ect. I always found forcing ChatGPT to go through multiple steps works better then 1 basic prompt.

Yes, much like humans writing, iterative changes absolutely help. I'd like to know more and whether or not Brooker did this. I also do snarkily hope he follows up with an AI generated Philomena Cunk special.

I agree with your multiple prompt idea. I've had a lot better success with ChatGPT when I use multiple prompts. I've gotten it a code a few things for me, pretty basic but not having to do it myself and learning how to prompt it to do various things was nice. The way things are worded also affects its outcomes as a friend was prompting it to do something but couldn't get it to work, I told him to just change the prompt a little bit and voila it worked.

why would the self aware AI want to make itself appear bad in common media? I'm on to you.

I saw an advertisement video the other day for Bing/ChatGPT and the premise was “Write me a quirky bridesmaid speech.” Kinda depressing tbh. Those speeches are already basic af. I don’t want to be cynical, but ya…

At this point id be happy with any release.
