do people actually fall for this? It's so clearly just writers passing it off as an AI because ML is the buzzword of the month that gets funding and attention.

The overall story was written by humans. The just-barely-not-quite-nonsense that the actors speak when they get "turned on" are the lines the algorithm wrote.

If you view the credits, it shows all the corpuses the various bot-generated lines were trained on. Hasselhoff's lines were trained on a whole bunch of baywatch episodes.
