AI is becming mre ppular these days, used fr almst everything. But can it be as funny as a human? And if it can, will it take the place f cmedy writers in the future? This is smething perfrmers have been explring (探索) at the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe (爱丁堡边缘艺术节) , which ran frm August 4 t 28.
①__________
Anyne culd put n a shw at the festival, and this year even rbts jined it. One f the festival’s big shws used a small rbt t create jkes based n suggestins frm the audience (观众) , which were then perfrmed by humans. While the results culd be very funny smetimes they weren’t funny at all. “That is an interesting part f the shw,” said Pitr Mirwski, the shw’s c-maker.
Cmedy’s Last Laugh?
Cmedian Pierre Nvellie believes it will take a lng time fr AI t becme gd at creating cmedy. “Cmedy is the last thing that AI is ging t get near,” he tld Sky News. “Even human cmedians have difficulty telling their jkes fr the right peple at the right time.”
②_________
Hwever, Cmedian Peter Bazely at the festival said he’s using AI t create jkes fr him because he’s ut f ideas. “In tday’s wrld, many artists are wrried that AI culd end up ding their jbs fr them, but I actually hpe that AI will d exactly that ne day.”
③_________
The reasns fr peple wanting t use AI are understandable (可理解的) , but the dangers they bring t many peple’s jbs are becming mre and mre real, and that’s nt very funny. Frm wrries in schls and clleges abut students using ChatGPT fr their wrk, t writers and actrs wrrying that AI culd be used t replace them, fears abut the dangers f AI are a ht tpic in the wrld.
