Uses ai voices, but seems to be written completely by the creator.

so, over the last few days with little to no sleep trying to rectify it, i think i actually made it worse. but if you aren't updated...i guess here is the update :|

Remember "I Didn't Ask For This"? It's one of those SNL sketches that stuck with people—the one where cast members react to embarrassing internet moments they never signed up for. Bobby Moynihan punching a computer screen, John Hamm as an absent dad tearing up... it was weird, it was funny, and it felt real.

Here's the thing: that sketch was *ahead of its time*. In 2024, we're drowning in internet moments we didn't ask for. Every day someone's TikTok goes viral for the wrong reasons, or an old video resurfaces at exactly the wrong moment. That sketch was basically comedy gold because it nailed something we all experience.

I started a petition because I think SNL should bring this back. Not as a one-off, but as a real recurring bit for the modern internet era. There's endless material—real viral moments, meme reactions, all of it ripe for SNL's take. It could actually be funny *and* relatable, which is rare these days.

Anyone else miss this sketch? Or am I the only one who thinks SNL was onto something special with it? If you think this deserves a comeback, consider signing and sharing the petition. Sometimes the internet just needs a good laugh at itself.

AI is such a panchreston now, it really grinds me. Don't want to try? Use AI. Want to send a text to a friend but you're too much of a lazy asshole to care? Use AI. Want to cheat in school or cut corners at work? Use AI. Need help with planning out what to eat and when? Use AI. Use AI to make sure you don't appear like you're using AI. Use AI so that you aren't using AI to use AI to generate content made by AI.

Use AI to grade papers that also use AI that used AI to make sure you couldn't tell they used AI. How the fuck is this a desirable outcome? It's so grim out here. If having integrity means being a 'stinky Luddite' then sure I'm a Luddite for not selling my soul to a useless prediction machine. At a certain point - which I would say we have already confidently reached - these AIs are just going to eat themselves and spit out their own hallucinations. If you really place faith in a machine that sources Reddit and Instagram you're more hopeless than I can actually put to words.

I am a writer. People have been so kind to repeatedly inform me that my major will become 'useless' in a few years because 'AI can do it just as well!' If you were not already aware, AI is an incompetent writer. Hopeless. Out of curiosity, I asked ChatGPT to generate a paragraph on a particular cricket species ( mole crickets, my favorite :-) ) and what it spat out was so awfully written that I had to just sit for a moment in silence. Of course it would wow someone who has no clue about what goes into writing - much less doing so eloquently - because they do not have enough background knowledge to compare the output to. I have been writing for over a decade, so I am well aware of the intricacies of this medium. AI knows nothing. It does not know how to craft a well-written sentence; it does not even know WHAT it is writing. So relying on it for creative tasks that do require know-how - art, coding, music - is a recipe for disaster. Obviously. They aren't omnicient, they don't know shit, and their developers did not code them with the intent of spreading accurate information.

I am at a point where AI no longer worries me. If I wanted to read ChatGPT-generated books, I could make them myself. None of what these AI tools generate is unique. They will never compare to content that does arouse emotions because they, and their stolen 'ideas', are lifeless. They are so inauthentic and same-y... they have zero value to anyone who ought to be taken seriously. Why would I be worried about 50 misplaced em-dashes and fucking "That's not just profound, that's a poignant culture speech on the misplaced mass-hysteria war of the world on Earth and in Space [modifier modifier modifier modifier]"

People desperately want these tools to be more game-changing than they actually are. All it does is search the internet, and I do that everyday for free lmao

May I ask why people are against a video created using AI ? I had to create scenes- narrate - score - and direct the whole thing but everyone seems to feel like AI does ALL THE WORK and that videos are useless … I also wrote about her on my website www.dailyalphas.com but as you may notice today’s crowd has no attention span.. so just a question.. if one doesn’t have a million dollar budget to film something why must everyone else down grade it because of how it was made ?? Please share your thoughts

And before you say it: Yes, I know the "fundamentals" and no, I don't want my dumb pencil art to be the magnum opus.
