So, how much money do you think Matt and Trey are going to sue them for?
They say pretty clearly in their Twatter post that they are not the IP holders and the episode is for research only, so I seriously doubt Trey and Matt will care.
Likely worst case they get a cease and desist to take it down, so they do.
We think the timing is correct — we are right in the middle of the biggest strike in 60 years, by releasing the research (but not the ability for anyone to create episodes of protected IP) we hope [for] the Guilds in Hollywood to negotiate strong, strong, strong protections that producers cannot use AI tools without the express permission of artists. Frankly the IP holders also need to figure out how to negotiate with AI chatbot companies who are profiting from their work.
And what’s the problem here? They aren’t trying to profit off this tech here, they’re building a stronger case for the strike. Did the writers of this article read their source material?
But doing something like this during that time is totally in character for Southpark.
Where’s the profanity, the swearing? AI, more like Artificially limited, that’s the only joke. Kyle not calling Cartman a fatass once, what?
If that’s really from the show I’m amazed. That seems super self aware, <laughs nervously>
“Our toasters, really? I always knew that little bastard was up to something”
"Fable started in 2018 as a spinoff from Facebook’s Oculus (how times have changed since then), working on VR films — a medium that never really took off. Now it has seemingly pivoted to AI, "
I wonder how much of the ai hype is just huge investments into hardware, looking for profits.
Can you link the episode? I have been so starved from media because of this strike. I am willing to consume it
SP is already really shitty animation though, so they’re setting the bar really, really low
Just FYI, the CEO of Fable Studios is one Edward Saatchi. His father is Maurice Saatchi whose advertising agency was partially responsible for ten years of Conservative rule under Margaret Thatcher. The family absolutely has previous with union bashing.
AI is too polite to make a compelling South Park episode honestly could be an interesting premise for a South Park episode though
Only when it’s intentionally censored and trained to react in a particular way. When it’s not, you remember it was trained on random internet content.
They played around with making an AI generated episode of black mirror but it wasn’t good enough to be compelling.
You can definitely tell the writing was AI. The characters spoke like they are in an infomercial. I couldn’t watch the whole thing.
Oh no, what if they use this technology to make cartoon version of celebrities like me say things that I would never actually say?
I remember how, years ago, an AI was asked to write a script for a Batman comic book, given a bunch of real comic issues as its learning input. The resulting script was horribly stilted, and hilarious to read. It was popular enough that an artist turned it into an actual comic book.
Today’s AIs have come a long way.

False. The Hollywood strikes (plural) are not principally about AI.
A more salient issue is that streaming TV & movie services do not pay residuals.

They are about both.
Short term streaming residuals are important.
Long term AI protections are a must.

It’s both you can see their demands if you google them.
