I should clarify that by "out of ideas", I mean that I've only got enough to last me until the end of March, or maybe the middle of April if lockdown eases. The way I work, that's close enough that I start to get worried.
-
“The British road that is also a boat” actually exists in at least one place in Britain since the Woolwich Ferry is considered to be part of the North Circular Road.
-
"The British Road that is also a Boat" sounds exactly like a Tom Scott video about some sort of ferry that has a street name
-
Hahahahahaha I love "The beach where you can hear the sea." If nothing else, this AI could produce top tier shitposting.
-
The "white cube at the end of the world" would actually be proof that this entire planet was modelled in Blender, and that its author forgot to delete the default cube before releasing it
-
"Please drive carefully: Village is periodically invisible."
-
"The green Death and the Industrial Revolution" Actually that sounds like it may work referring to Scheele's Green which killed many thousands of people though arsenic exposure when it became the most popular pigment in Britain.
-
Regarding "The British Road That Is Also A Boat", I direct your attention to the SS Badger, a ferry in the US between Ludington, MI and Manitowoc, WI that is officially a part of highway US 10.
-
I would love Tom to make one of these “alternate reality” videos for April Fools every year
-
Please, i beg you. Find a cliff that refuses to be a cliff.... im sure he's out there somewhere
-
For reference, the "strange light in the sky over Oxfordshire" is called the moon.
-
Today, I asked ChatGPT to make a script for the "Jeremy Clarkson's Lottery of Death" episode of Top Gear. It went perfect, and consisted of him surviving races in six cars with various life-threatening faults.
-
5:24 I asked ChatGPT for an English word for "nostalgia for a thing that could never have existed" and it gave me "anemoia", a word coined by John Koenig in 2012 for his "Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows". It's been two years since this video came out.
-
"The Green Death And The Industrial Revolution." Actually makes a lot of sense. There was a specific green pigment used in the wallpapers during The Industrial Revolution that contained arsenic. Search "arsenic in wallpaper". Also I think it's also not too weird to have a road that is also a boat, just look for bridging boats.
-
"Two Drums and a Cymbal Fall off a Cliff, but the Cliff refuses to be a cliff."
-
I wish you had hit the “write script” button on Jeremy Clarkson’s Lottery of Death
-
As an artist who creates parafictional histories, I'm delighted to see that AI might be coming for my job, too. It's nice to feel included.
-
"It's all farmland" Sounds like a Russian utopia to me, comrade.
-
Time to revisit an old idea with a modern twist ""Two drums and a cymbal fall off a cliff that refuses to be a cliff""
-
"GPT-3 is the worlds most powerful Bigotry generator." Oh great, now I'm going to have AI calling me newly invented racial slurs like i've just entered the worlds most creative COD lobby.
