Chat Gpt, the AI model developed by OpenAI, was recently involved in an unusual occurrence. The request has been made by Charlie Brooker, the creator of “Black Mirror”, to create an episode of the famous television series. However, the result achieved it did not live up to expectations.
What is it about? The details of the experiment
The “Black Mirror” series is known for its ability to explore the dark and disturbing aspects of modern technology and society. Episode plots often stage dystopian scenarios or situations that reveal the negative consequences of excessive or distorted use of technology.
The request to create an episode of “Black Mirror” was an interesting challenge for Chat Gpt, which he proved he has extensive knowledge of the series and its distinctive style. However, despite the efforts made by the model to adhere to the spirit of the series, the final result did not meet the expectations of the users and above all of the creator, who defined this attempt as very unimpressive, ridiculing the narrative created by artificial intelligence.
The main problem was in the lack of coherent vision and compelling storytelling. While the model was able to generate some interesting ideas, the interweaving and development of the plot lacks coherence and originality. The artificial intelligence has been able to take elements from famous films or previous episodes, but has not been able to produce any original content. The elements that make the episodes of "Black Mirror" engaging and disturbing seem to escape Chat Gpt.
A point in a larger reflection
This failed episode raises some important reflections on the ability of artificial intelligences to generate creative and quality content. Though Chat Gpt is a powerful text generation tool, remains limited compared to the in-depth understanding of the complex themes addressed by “Black Mirror”, as well as in art in general.
Ultimately, the experiment is a reminder that creating quality content still requires human intervention and creativity. Artificial intelligences can be useful support tools, but the role of the human artist in the exploration of complex themes and in the elaboration of engaging narratives remains fundamental.
