Can ChatGPT Write A Black Mirror Episode? (Eye-Opening)
A few months back, the creator of Black Mirror talked about how he used AI to write a black mirror episode but the results were s**t. As someone who personally uses AI to write copious amounts of high level sales copy (100k+ words per month), I was skeptical of this claim…
And with the Hollywood Strike meaning most companies are devoid of screenwriters right now, I figured it was a good time to revisit this question…
So that’s what I did and I hope you enjoy...
And if you do, make sure you subscribe to my channel...

19:14 We Leave Claude and go back to Chatbot UI. Specifically, I show how I ran a prompt there to have it generate more Black Mirror Episode Ideas, Then Review The Ideas.
20:31 ChatbotUI Comes Up With An Episode Idea I think Is really Interesting: “Shadows on the Wall.”
In a near future, a scientist invents a device that can project a person's dreams or nightmares onto a wall, like a film. Initially used for therapeutic purposes, it becomes a recreational fad with unforeseen consequences when people start getting addicted to living their dreams and others' nightmares, resulting in a society unable to distinguish between reality and imagination.
21:46 I throw a little shade at Black Mirror’s Creator for not really understanding how AI Works.
22:48 Quick Mention of a Third Episode Idea I Find Interesting:
Episode Title: The Last Artist
In a world where AI has mastered all forms of art, one human artist struggles to find her place. When her art becomes a sensation for its 'human touch', society must reassess the value of human creativity versus artificial intelligence.
