S1: Comedians are increasingly using AI to help write jokes and
S1: brainstorm ideas with mixed results. I think this is as
S1: big or bigger, if not bigger as big maybe as
S1: the Turing test in terms of the importance of AI progress.
S1: Because if I can write a full comedy set and
S1: make humans laugh, that is massively huge. Even better if
S1: it can be deepfake performed right? So it's actually AI
S1: writing it and AI performing it, and all the human
S1: did was tell an agent to write a comedy set
S1: around a topic. Okay. That is this. This is an
S1: unbelievable metric, okay. A milestone metric. So basically, here's the test.
S1: Can I give an agent or any model? Let's say,
S1: for example, I'm hand this to I write a comedy
S1: sketch skit or set around. Um, good coffee versus bad
S1: coffee or how baristas don't care about you, or how
S1: customer services people don't care about you. Do write a
S1: 20 minute set just about this topic. Okay, so now
S1: I want to see on a screen either a stand
S1: up view or a face view. You know, a stand
S1: up view would be better. Actually. I want to see
S1: a stage. I want to see a microphone. I want
S1: to see a person standing there talking, and I want
S1: to see them moving. I want to see them moving
S1: their hands. I want to see them gesturing a full,
S1: complete deepfake of the content that they wrote. And this
S1: has to be funny, okay? And it doesn't even have
S1: to be like the funniest thing. It doesn't have to
S1: be Dave Chappelle. It has to be decently funny, like
S1: good enough to get gigs on a comedy tour. And
S1: if you've been on a comedy, tours like The Bar
S1: is not super high for the average comic That I
S1: don't know what I skeptics are going to say to that.
S1: And I would say I'm going to I'm going to
S1: call it right now. We are in the middle of 2024.
S1: I'm going to call that as 2025 2026 at the latest.
S1: Full deep fake integration 2026 at the latest. So both 2026,
S1: both in 2026. That's two years from now. A year
S1: and a half from now, we will have the ability
S1: to have a deep faked comic, right, a funny set
S1: and perform it in a way that if a regular
S1: person who enjoys comedy watches it, they'll be like, yeah,
S1: that's pretty funny. That's decently funny. Now, could they get
S1: their own Netflix Netflix special based on that content? That
S1: would be like the top, top tier. But keep in
S1: mind how few comics actually have Netflix specials. So yeah. Interesting.
S1: What did I say? 27. No, I said 26.
