I've been occasionally watching

https://twitch.tv/alwaysbreaktime

Which is an AI generated slice of life high school anime. It's very Nothing Forever in terms of talking about very ordinary events but it's surprisingly lively with multiple locations (such as walking through the school corridors with NPC's bumping into the actors).

There was a bit earlier though when the crew were coming up with nicknames and the guy named himself "The Extreme Gamer" and then wanted to get some Doritos which made me think did the creator insert this as a product placement or is it just proof of the AI recognizing patterns. (He's also quite obsessed into being a legendary warrior in disguise and defeating evil forces for some reason)

It also has some fun little things you can do with channel points, like making the character's heads bigger or smaller for a scene, or doing a "scare" (where a school bell or whistle sounds out and all the characters stop for a second). Nothing major, but I always find real time interaction with these things interesting.

https://twitch.tv/podcastsforever - Podcasts Forever, the AI generated "Poe Regan" show (obviously a parody of Joe Rogan). It lets you generate your own prompts with !script. Kind of basic at the moment, but it shows promise

Sometimes I wonder if Unlimited Ham being so formulaic and on rails is to its benefit when it comes to avoiding subjects that'd get it banned. The worst I heard come out from it was some hard cursing and an episode about calves' hooves that took a weird turn when the AI decided suddenly those calves were alive. Even so I keep wondering if the AI will ever dig too deep picking an excuse for the fire and reference a real sketchy conspiracy.

At first it felt like the script was basically sponge bob but he's sexually confused and let GPT go wild.

I have a weird fascination in trying to figure out what prompt is producing weird results. These are clearly intentional and that breaks some of the fun. Like "Sponge Bob is excitable and impulsive, he doesn't break the law but will hatch plans that push it before realizing he does and back peddling" would be far more interesting and likely get you the weird sex stuff every so often.

Yeah I get that, but I mean I wonder if his denial will lead him blaming it on something more contentious than Bigfoot or thundersnow. Today I heard the AI say there were lizard people in the kitchen so there's a nonzero chance we'll hear about chemtrails and jet fuel, if it hasn't already happened

think more WW2 war crimes, that's what I'm thinking will kill it denying that. I hope they are previewing the output and approving it well before it's sent to get turned into Audio. That's the longest part of their process.

There's a few great bob ross episodes of How is it manifested. one of the ones prompted under cryptid where the narrator is bob ross and paints happy little ents that I can't find a clip of there might not be but this one does and boy is this an old one the current scripts are so much better.

If you like this style the channel is goon run and they read the thread, can probably convince them it's time for a dedicated painting show.

This is good at like 1-3 minute long skits. Always sunny really benefits from the 20 minutes. GPT4 might have the power to do it in the expensive high token mode when that's out.

Yeah, I've been messing around with GPT-4, its actually really close to being able to write a half-decent transcript, but it still skips over too much stuff. It really helps that they really dialed back how much chatGPT complains about stuff.

It looks like the characters have actual traits now. Leo is a dorky rear end in a top hat, Kelly is a sadsack that everyone shits on, Nick is the charmer, and Manfred is an alien trying the bare minimum to appear human.

e: It's glitching out now. The last sketch had three minutes of silence after it ended, and this current one has a lot of lines being said twice.

Yeah, I like that they added some continuity between scenes and stuff, and different personalities. Manfred being a big time traveling alien weirdo is good. But I got sick of listening to them all be assholes to each other pretty quickly.

I think that's the problem with most of the ai channels.

It's hard to set it up for consistently interesting content so once the novelty runs out its often boring or tries way too hard (horny spongebob).

Infinite steam works because it's just iterating constantly off thr same comedic bit, and how is it manifested works because the AI is just filling out what the users prompted it with.

Infinite Steam is boring as hell and I have no idea why goons keep complimenting it. Every iteration is more or less the same, except that a different tuple (burnt dish, replacement dish, alternative explanation of fire) is chosen every time. The most variation occurs in Skinner's monologue in the kitchen, and even that doesn't vary enough to be interesting.

If you haven't checked out How is it Manifested in the last few days there's now multi-character shows, one has 2 personalities and the other is a kind of open bag you can throw any characters at it and it will find voices i the library.

User driven stories are probably the only thing that will make a channel long term viable right now. It just iterates too much on itself otherwise. You even see this with prompting where latent characteristics just emerge from the wording of the base show script.
