Romantic comedy where someone stays up all night prompting chatGPT only to throw it away at the last second to speak from the heart

A number of my close friends have married and one of my old friends gives a speech at every one that's just dialogue from a fromsoft game.

All of us laughing when people say "that was very poetic" to him after.

Literally so much better than asking the robot parrot

as a large language model, i care a lot about %married_couple%

I was having a long conversation the other night with a friend from far back in the day. a phone call that was supposed to be about me helping him get his basic household shit together/organized because I am good at that sort of thing. towards the end, he got very animated and borderline frantic about his band. as in, I couldn't say anything for about 10 minutes of his exposition/monologue about how inspired he is by his own creativity lately, the tools he is using, and how he wants to collaborate with me.

I am mostly creative in the realm of food, visual design (digital and physical) and like some sculpture with just enough literary shit to be amusing. though he wouldn't really know that, because I don't just launch into my various tinkerings unless something specific or relevant is mentioned. he does know that I used to do a lot of work with digital design, so I believe that's what he wanted to collaborate about.

but before I can even say "OK, sounds fun" he's frantically telling me about how he has some subscription to AI tools and he's been using them to make stills and generated music videos from prompts and how it's absolutely incredible to generate these animations of subjects using styles and how well it goes with his music... and in my head I'm just like "it sounds like you have it all figured out and don't actually need me for anything."

I wanted to say I had made some cool visual stuff that I thought might be cool to have an audio component to match and that he just gave me the idea to use AI to generate some music based on prompts, but that seems kinda cruel and he probably wouldn't even get the hint anyway.

so I just let him go on and on and gave a non committal response about doing shit together in the future, with absolute no desire to follow up.

all I ever think about anymore is how these generative tools are absolutely dulling any cultivation of talent. after a decade of working exclusively with digital, I wanted to start working with physical media. paint, canvas, ink, transfer, dyes/pigments, wood, inlays etc. things I can touch, hold, hang, give away, or place somewhere there isn't a screen.

seeing someone go entirely in the other direction, not just digital, but like prompt oriented generative is like... sad. like nothing is being stimulated and opened, but rather it is being funneled into pre existing categories and boxes.

I left that conversation absolutely uninspired.

this is the kind of thing I would stand up and make a scene over to verbally abuse this person

fuck this shit and fuck you and if I'm the villain here then fuck this wedding

Is this the new “Webster’s defines..” on a bad speech?

Hi chat, I'm at my dads wedding and I've just been asked to give a speech, whats a good prompt to ask chat gpt?

jk, I'll ask chat gpt to write a prompt for me

The sad truth is that most people in this country see AI as something that can outperform them all the time, even in originality.

My local paper has an editorial columnist who's a Sorkin-style shitlib, and since 2023 he has been introducing topics and saying "I asked my AI chatbot" (which he proceeds to name and gender like a human) and then copy and paste from the LLM response.

To an extent I almost can't blame him. I officiated my sister's wedding and my dad still give me shit about how he didn't like my speech.

Butlerian Jihad when?

I never underatood the strange pride of people who act smugly to anyone doing creative work while showing off AI slop they generated

this is why im anti wedding

At my brother's wedding the opposite happened where so many people straight up said "I didn't write anything because I wanted to speak from the heart" and ended up not saying shit.

I spent an hour writing my brother's speech, it's not hard!

Google has to fucking force you to use AI and there’s some piggies that embrace the slop hook line and sinker.

In the context of insincerely saying filler words to fulfill an unwanted social expectation, I don’t hate the idea of reciting an AI generated speech. What’s so upsetting about this to me is that it seems to be a random guest inserting themselves into the proceedings just to create an opportunity for them to brag about having done this. This is just the longstanding tradition of a narcissistic wedding guest trying to use someone else’s wedding to make themselves the center of attention. Honestly surprised wedding bouncers aren’t a thing.

at least she provided the disclaimer

I’ve got a worse one than this. I went to a poetry reading and, about half way through, someone got up and gleefully announced the next poem he was going to read was written by Chat GPT. Great time for a bathroom break though.

Had a comrade help me write a speech for my candidacy meeting (running in local election) I sent him my docs and he did some fast frantic typing, read out a speech, then exclaimed proudly that he ran my docs through chatgpt 😭

Jerma did this with the robot voice doing the INSERT NAME HERE.

Todd would be pogging if it was Radiant AI

When people peer pressure me into doing some pointless thing that I see no value this is exactly what I do.
