Maybe you're right. But I'm yet to see much evidence that AI is actually good at comedy. It's something a whole lot of humans can't do either.
Some studio is almost certainly feeding sitcoms and standup comedy into some horrific LolLLM, but it would almost certainly reject prompts such as “The gang goes black” or “Frank gets molested”, and the outcome of “The gang makes Lethal Weapon 6” is unlikely to be even half as entertaining.
But as I said, I haven't seen the new series so I cannot comment on whether there's anything there to grow from.
Was this post actually written by Frasier the character?

However, I cannot help but wonder in this presumably inevitable techno future of ours, how we will ever talk to anyone about the eventually fever dream quality of media that we'll each individually be consuming in unique niches.
I'm already reading Blindsight and wondering how in the world I can even try to explain this to people in my life. Somehow I imagine that it's going to be a lot more difficult to explain why I'm crying my eyes out after Magneto-Gandalf saves the power rangers from certain death from Venom Frasier and then convinces Frasier to finally take off the black suit.
The book clearly does a lot of legwork in the 'third act' to really sell the main thesis. Which is great the first time through, but I think makes subsequent readthroughs less impactful. I however always enjoy about the first two thirds.
As a software developer, I spend a lot of time looking at the increasingly complex behavior (and even downright 'cleverness') of non-conscious entities. So my takeaway is less "life, but not as we know it" and more "YES, just like that, that's exactly what I've been trying to tell people for years." Unfortunately, explaining my day job in terms of Blindsight isn't exactly a step up.
If that doesn't make you tear up, you're dead inside. That's my explanation.
Shaka.

The temporary Twitch suspension was due to some of the generated dialogue. I'm not clear if they were forced to remove the Seinfeld stuff? In any case, the new version just doesn't compare: https://www.twitch.tv/watchmeforever

It's also an interesting coherent world they made for the sitcom so the many locations can be expended to the Opera, the Symphony, Wine Club and on and on. I would pay for these 'episodes'!
