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.

That is totally amazing. How long before you can just say to a box “tell me a story about x and x” and it makes up a novel or a play or a feature film on the spot.

‘The Green Death And The Industrial Revolution’ That’s the long name for the Green Hell that is the Nurburgring Nordschleife

A cliff might refuse to be a cliff. But can you still throw two drums and a cymbal of it?

I don't quite understand what would be so dangerous about "human sounding political arguments"? People make political arguments all the time, its up to the people listening to decide their validity/soundness. Why does it matter if the argument comes from a person or from computer code?

"The cliff that refuses to be a cliff" - A battle with sea erosion with a some company realising the erosion is inevitable and somehow incorporating it into their building or site?

There's a alternative reality where people believe the British Moon landing was faked

Cool AI....

_"I don't think there's a word in the English language for "nostalgia for a thing that never existed""_ Tory?

I'm an easy person: if I hear "Doctor Who", I have to hit the like button

Kirby's Dreamland a Russian utopia confirmed?

e

You should absolutely make a series of videos on topics that aren't real. Would make an awesome watch/podcast because those are amazing.

simulacrum can be used to mean what you want.

Its time now for an AI curated chanel, where one AI thinks of titles, another makes plot, third draws illustrations, fourth voices it, fifth video edit it, and sixth speak with people in comments saying its tottaly not a group of AIs making videos. XD

Oh no Morpheus, the Matrix has arrived. Neo shall come to save us

I think the word you are looking for is Anemoia: a nostalgia for a time you've never known. Courtesy of John Koenig.

Gpt-3's script was entirely "real" sounding until Tom said "kirby's dream"

"be a cliff" cliff: yOU CANT MAKE ME DO ANYTHING

"My job will get a lot easier" means "I will no longer have a job".

"My job gets a lot easier" - or redundant.

Such an awesome video!

1:18 that sounds like a nether portal

138,000 upvotes to 512 down - I think that's the best ratio I've ever seen by a long way. Congrats. Generally for popular videos it's usually about 10% downvotes to up.

What defines Tom Scott? The cars whizzing by noisily as people go to work or the store brings back a certain nostalgia, an interrupting backdrop to the presentation of trivia that is interesting only because of who is explaining it. However, at its root, the essence of Tom Scott is a humble and yet unapologetic reminder that, no matter how much knowledge, wealth, or power you may acquire, there is no person in this world who is more full of joy than the ignorant child who ponders the mysteries of the worms and bugs under a mossy log.

Animated Tom Scott looks like Grian

7:56 got me good. You've got a stellar sense of humor.

Why didn’t you let it write a script for „The beach where you can hear the sea“? That would have been more funny.

"Nostalgia for a past which never existed." There's no real word for it. But _The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows_ does offer vocabulary like "vellichor" and "anemoia".

Just to say, the Dr Who was Red death, not green.

I want to hear about the Aberfan disaster...

I'm late as balls and probably someone already said it, but "the green death and the industrial Revolution" sounds like it's about the rise and fall of Arsenic based compounds and their use in Victorian EVERYTHING, not just the infamous Scheme's green. Which sounds like exactly the type of thing you could make a great video out of.

Amazing!

the road that is also a boat, its not that impossible, green death industrial revolution is valid

Do the mail train RIGHT NOWW!!

Only slightly on topic, am I the only one who can't wait for the response by the pro-Socialism/pro-Communism movement when AI describes what they're asking for along the lines of "people who would rather be allowed to be lazy and still have an income?" The Skreeeeeeee will be brain shattering.

Now I want to know about the mail railway!

@2:28 you could make a valid video about aresnic poisoning in victorian times about this, how all sorts of products had it in them but since the only people in the houses enough to really show the poisoning were women it took years for doctors to figure it out since they thought it was hysteria.

@Tom Scott Xnopyt *noun* Definition: nostalgia for something that doesn't exist

everybody gangsta till they find a cliff that refuses to be a cliff.

I Wonder if there’s any interesting stories about Middlesbrough

I feel like you could do a video on abervan and it be interesting

Just after watching the video, I thought of searching on how to use GPT-3. So I clicked the ISboths's search bar, and started typing: "how" The second suggestion was exactly what I was going to type - "how to use gpt 3".

you shouldve released a fictional video and not told anyone for 1 week

I enjoy that MumboJumbo has watched this and used it to make his own video

7:24 If you placed a truth constraint on anything, the whole universe would grind to a halt.

"Kirby's Dream" probably came from the title's of various Kirby games such as "Kirby's Dream Land", "Kirby's Dream Course", "Kirby's Dream Collection" and "Kirby's Return to Dream Land".

I clicked only for the Union Jack on the moon.

The word you're looking for is Anemoia. I dont think it's actually in any dictionary but it's generally accepted that it means "Nostalgia for a time you've never known" The song Midnight City by M83 really gives me these vibes and makes me really understand the meaning of that word.

scaryyy

You should use the ones that were not real could be used on April fools

Maybe revisit Avebury and some of your earlier videos?

And this is why i believe that 90% of conspiracy-theory comments on youtube are some chinese/russian AI designed to destabalize the western nations. Well believe... Or maybe its more like a soothing thought :O

Nostalgia for a thing that never existed, sounds like the William Gibson short story "The Gernsback Continuum"

If anyone wants to try out GPT-3 for themselves you can try AI Dungeon. You can get access to the ‘Griffin’ model for free (limited to 100 actions a day or overcharged to 2000 actions) or pay for the superior ‘Dragon’ model. In the explore section someone has even made a scenario to make up Tom Scott video titles!

Wigan Pier in the West Midlands???

do an episode on why the uk is literally just a shitload of farms

Came here from mumbo jumbo

I really want to watch Jeremy Clarkson's Lottery of death

Why is Grian on the moon

The cliff that refuses to be a cliff could be really interesting :D

"I don't think there's an English word for 'nostalgia for a thing that never existed'" I've got two "My life"

4:12 "How the CIA plotted to kill Castro with explosive C-shells: the strange story of the leader of the Cuban revolution becoming an avid UNIX hacker." :-)

imagine the Ai asked you to make a video about asking AI for videos ideas , META AF

What if we had a seperate series where it just consisted of fictional stories? I know someone else suggested this already, but we need this to happen

Wow, I 100% see Rick and Morty writers using that AI.

Sad, there's nothing "open" about "open"AI

5:04 "the strange light that floats over oxforshire" thats just the moon

The Green Death and the Industrial Revolution does sound like a Doctor Who story, it'd likely be a two-parter.

7:09 Car passes by with perfect timing

The White Cube at The End of the World sounds like a novel by Ursula K. Leguin.

Google stadia anyone .... in a nutshell machine learning>>>!

"specific and very limited ways" is this a jab at something political tom? ;)

7:47 "my job will get a lot easier" bud I think your job will get automated rather

I wanna know about Wiga Pier, the RRS Discovery, the Aberfan disaster, the New River, and the post office railway. I hope you actually reconsider and try harder to find a narrative hook.

Jeremy Clarkson's Lottery of Death is something i'd subscribe to Amazon Prime for.

What if one of the ideas it gave you for a video was were you talk about ideas that you can’t do in real life cause they’re fictional so you get an animator’s help to show what you wanna show..

Ai is going to either destroy or advance the world in less than 10 years

The white cube at the edge of the world sounds like an scp

Wigan is in the North West, not West Midlands. A simple google search would have corrected this.

"the strange light that floats over oxfordshire" the moon: am i a joke to you?

4:49 the ai really reinvented street fighter x tekken

The road that is also a boat: I-90 floating bridge in Seattle.

Tom be soundin' like Mumbo Jumbo bout to give a Slime Block Tutorial

Now it can do my homework!

The strange light the flow over Oxfordshire could be a work as once a Balloon shaped like a TV style UFO flow over north Oxfordshire and many reported it to fox FM at the time. One of those things I partially remember of FOX FM before they sold out they had good trusty local news but we all now media is now brought and not local on Heart FM which now own them.

Should have started the whole video with the script GPT-3 ran for you, Tom!

one of the suggestions were to make a video about the suggestions... AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII lmaoooooo

KIRBY"S DREAMland was a popular nintendo game (serie).

1:03 I'm dying at the bottom one 💀

Wigan is not in the west midlands. how insulting.

That car going past at speed at 7:13 ... Couldn't have been netter timed honestly.

It's a bit disappointing that Kirby's Dreamland in reality is just a muggy patch of English countryside.

7:14 That car in the background had excellent timing. Right on cue

“Nostalgia for things that never existed” Not sure if this has already been said, but how about “Fauxstalgia”?

Was the episode you hadn't released yet at the time "Why Progress Bars Don't Move Smoothly"

Stop forcing cliffs to be cliffs

“I got a bad feeling about this...”

The 7th one is a true tail
