I didn’t expect this to work so well. • Includes text generated by OpenAI’s GPT-3 at my request: https://openai.com • Art by Chris Quay: https://www.chrisquay.com/ • Got an idea for a video? https://www.tomscott.com/contact/
Filmed safely: https://www.tomscott.com/safe/
OpenAI had no control or sign-off on this video, although I agreed to abide by their ethical guidelines and social media policy.
Thanks to Eddie the corgi’s owner for introducing me to the folks at OpenAI: https://instagram.com/eddie_corg

I should clarify that by "out of ideas", I mean that I've only got enough to last me until the end of March, or maybe the middle of April if lockdown eases. The way I work, that's close enough that I start to get worried.
All the fictional titles sound like Doctor who plots
tom really did go to a beach only to say "i can hear the sea"
Have you released the video the AI called you on yet?
These titles are weird but they are written so well, so catchy and so fascinatingly.
2:10 but Tom if you're in Britain, Isn't that an ocean?
5:20 anemoia
Unstalgia
How about sudo-nostalgia
Plot twist : this very idea was created by an ai
you should make a video on one of these as an april fools prank
5:10 is that .. is that the village of Imber?!?
"GPT-3 is the worlds most powerful Bigotry generator." Oh great, now I'm going to have AI calling me newly invented racial slurs like i've just entered the worlds most creative COD lobby.
AI : gives video ideas
Tom : makes a video of the AI
AI : 👁👄👁
"The sanity defying crossroads on the Isle of Skye" This is fascinating – the Isle of Skye has had issues in recent year with public defecation. Genuine issues with tourists shitting out in the open.
Plot Twist: the sign says "please drive carefully" because the village actually gets invisible certain times of the year.
I refuse to be a cliff
"a word for nostalgia for a thing that never existed"
Vaporwave.
in all seriousness i would watch jeremy clarkson's lottery of death
5:24 have you heard about vaporwave yet?
There is the word fernweh, which means a longing for a place you've never been.
"As well as planting thousands of trees" (points to the hundred or so dead bushes behind him)
THe dream of a Russian utopia in East Yorkshire
5:21 “I don’t think there’s a word for nostalgia for something that doesn’t exist”
That’s a wish.
Your job won't get a lot easier; your job will be gone. Combined with CGI, the AI could make the whole video from start to finish without a person.
"The cliff that refuses to be a cliff" I thought was the actual title of that video about a cliff slowly falling in.
Tom manages to make a compelling video about his lack of ideas
Jeremy Clarkson's Lottery of Death? More like AstraZeneca's Lottery of Death, amirite?
The AI knows about Parallel Universes
I hate OpenAI so much. They are dubbing themself as Open but they are exactly the opposite. We need someone to create LibreAI
I love how the fact that AI, unfettered by human preconceptions, is "bigoted" is held up as a flaw of AI instead of a flaw of our latter-day social religion.
"The british road that is also a road makes sense. I don't know if there are any more of them today, but there used to be many ponton bridges… Literally a road on boats.
"The green death and the industrial revolution" is a good summary of the doctor who episode "The crimson horror".
But only for colour blind people…
Video Idea: Make AI rate their own video ideas
This video idea was suggested by the AI.
This was posted on my birthday 🙂
Nostalgia for a thing that never existed: Steampunk
I feel like a lot of those surreal suggestions would make for decent scps
do you have to know code the text generator?
I wanna use it for fun
Plot twist Q is AI…
"The white cube at the end of the world"
Blender joined the chat
any one can do this using ai dungeon
Nostalgia for things that never existed: Nerdstalgia.
The Post Office Underground Railway was genuinely a good suggestion. That would be quite interesting.
