Oh, the humanity.
“Black Mirror” creator Charlie Brooker, 52, says he used the synthetic intelligence software ChatGPT to write down an episode of the smash Netflix series — but he wasn’t impressed by the top product.
“I’ve toyed around with ChatGPT a bit,” Brooker told Empire in an interview published Tuesday.
The British series, which premiered in 2011, often explores how scientific and technological advancement can have a negative impact on society.
“The very first thing I did was type ‘generate ‘Black Mirror’ episode,’ and it comes up with something that, at first glance, reads plausibly, but on second glance, is s–t,” Brooker continued.
“Because all it’s done is look up all of the synopses of ‘Black Mirror’ episodes, and kind of mush them together. Then when you dig a bit more deeply you go, ‘Oh, there’s not actually any real original thought here.’ It’s [1970s impressionist] Mike Yarwood — there’s a topical reference,” he added.
Yarwood, 81, was often called “British television’s first truly successful impressionist” before disappearing from the limelight.
The Post has contacted reps for Brooker for comment.
Season 6 of “Black Mirror” premieres June 15 on Netflix. Salma Hayek, Michael Cera, Aaron Paul, Josh Hartnett, and Kate Mara are set to seem this season, which consists of 5 episodes.
Using AI in Hollywood scripts is considered one of the problems raised by striking Writers Guild of America members.
Meanwhile, a middle school student’s essay recently went viral after his teacher realized it was written by ChatGPT.
The teacher took a yellow highlighter to at least one line specifically.
“As an AI language model, I don’t have personal expectations or opinions,” the essay read.
