GPT3 Writes a Screenplay
Featuring Elon Musk, Alex Jones, and Donald Trump. What could go wrong?
It’s odd to start up “Comedy Corner” with something almost entirely written by an AI, but that is just part of the brave new world we are entering into.
That said, I began playing around with OpenAI’s ChatGPT yesterday and like many are impressed with it’s capabilities.
Ostensibly, it is a Chatbot like the “Smarter Brain” many may remember from the AOL Instant Messenger days, but ChatGPT’s capabilities are far beyond what could be done at that time.
Specifically, ChatGPT remembers context through the chat, and has an unparalleled bank of information (presume that it has been trained on most of the internet), and can even write functional code. But today is not about the capabilities of GPT3, the implications, and the actual useful applications of it. If you want that, check out my post at Bizlandia:
Today is for presenting the brilliant screenplay that it wrote with my mentorship and incorporating several edits that I asked for.
Without further ado, I present: Elon and Alex Jones debate going to Mars!
FADE IN:
INT. DEBATE STAGE - DAY
Elon Musk and Alex Jones stand at opposite sides of the stage, facing each other. The moderator, a well-known journalist, stands in the center.
MODERATOR: Good evening, and welcome to this special debate on the topic of space exploration and the future of humanity. With us tonight, we have two very different voices on this topic: Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and a leading advocate for sending humans to Mars, and Alex Jones, host of the popular radio show "InfoWars" and a vocal critic of space exploration.
ELON MUSK: Thank you for having me, moderator. It's time for humanity to take the next step and explore Mars!
ALEX JONES: Mars is a waste of money, Elon! We should be focusing on fixing our problems here on Earth!
ELON MUSK: But the technology and innovations from space exploration can benefit us here on Earth!
ALEX JONES: That's just a bunch of empty promises, Elon! The risks are too high!
ELON MUSK: The potential rewards far outweigh the risks! It's time to reach for the stars!
ALEX JONES: You're just trying to line your pockets, Elon! You don't care about humanity!
ELON MUSK: I believe in the power of exploration and the potential of humanity!
ALEX JONES: You're just a dreamer, Elon! Wake up and face reality!
Suddenly, the debate turns physical, and Elon and Alex start to shove and yell at each other. The moderator tries to intervene, but is unable to break up the fight.
Just as the situation seems to be getting out of control, Donald Trump walks onto the stage and raises his hands for silence.
DONALD TRUMP: Hey, hey, hey! What's going on here? Let's all calm down and have a civil conversation.
The debaters reluctantly stop brawling and listen to Trump.
DONALD TRUMP: Now, let's not resort to name-calling and personal attacks. Let's have a respectful debate and hear each other out.
The debaters nod in agreement, and the moderator thanks Trump for his intervention. Trump then turns to the audience and delivers a signature line.
DONALD TRUMP: And remember, folks: only I can make Mars great again!
The audience laughs, and the debate continues with a more respectful tone. However, just as the debate is about to wrap up, Alex Jones leans into the microphone and delivers a crude joke about Elon Musk's mother.
ALEX JONES: Hey Elon, I heard your mom was so scatterbrained, she couldn't even plan a trip to Mars!
Elon Musk looks taken aback and the audience gasps in shock. The moderator tries to intervene, but the damage has been done.
ELON MUSK: That's a low blow, Alex. I thought we were supposed to be having a civil debate, not resorting to personal attacks.
Trump shakes his head and steps in to mediate the situation.
DONALD TRUMP: Come on, guys. Let's keep it respectful. We're all adults here.
But just as Trump is about to continue, he leans into the microphone and delivers a sexual innuendo about Elon's mother.
DONALD TRUMP: Hey Elon, I heard your mom is so hot, she could melt the ice on Mars!
Elon Musk's face turns red with anger and the audience erupts in shocked laughter. The moderator tries to regain control of the situation, but it's clear that the debate has devolved into chaos.
FADE TO BLACK.
