I didn't expect this to work so well. • Includes text generated by OpenAI's GPT-3 at my request: openai.com • Art by Chris Quay: www.chrisquay.com/ • Got an idea for a video? www.tomscott.com/contact/

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.
@4:46: The Netherlands has a town called Groningen which has synchronized bicycle traffic lights. It was part of a major overhaul of the city, turning it into an anti-car and pro-bicycle town. I guess you could argue synchronized traffic lights saved Groningen?
might i suggest “fiction friday” or perhaps “fiction fortnight” where you upload an AI generated video which isn’t true but is still in your style and is fun to watch? i would, at least, love to watch them !!
Hi daddy
drink more diesel Tom you'll get there
If you ever come Wigan I’ll teach the history and show you round
good to know lofthouse hasn't disappeared yet.
I for one would gladly watch videos of made up alternate universe facts generated by a robot
"The strange light over Oxfordshire." You mean that thing that's visible during cloudless days?
After this video I played around with the older GPT-2 that is available to the public, not really replicating your experiment, but just prompting it with some titles of the videos of yours... The results were really interesting nonetheless, some of my favourites: "What the Hell is a Random Number?" "Why I Don't Trust Humans" "How I Made a New Emoji" "Why Robots Shouldn't Be Trying To Kill You" "Why I'm Not A Very Happy Robot"
"Essential" travel, huh?
You could still use all those video ideas that aren't real. Just create another channel that's a satire on infotainment.
I recommend you do some sort of piece on Wigan pier as its part of heritage of the inland waterways. Though it would be interesting to know what the houses the AI was talking about.
The cliff that refuses to be a cliff wrote that message in chalk.
Please do the welsh mining accident or look into tryweryn
I want a video on the post office railway! That looks really interesting.
OMG send those suggestions to the folks at Nightvale, so many of them are **exactly** their style! 😍
Why not do an article on the rock salt mines of Winsford?
Plot twist: this video idea was generated by AI
Fantastic video, Tom!
I don't think Wigan would like being referred to as 'West Midlands'
The green creeping death is what engineers call copper corrosion.
Hireath is that word! Welsh.
I need to get a hold of that ai to do my essays.
Wigan is in Greater Manchester. The pier is on a canal
7:20 the sound of that car passing by lined up so perfectly with the graph animation it feels like it had to have been planned
Is the cycle/wave you are talking about not called the Gartner Hype Cycle of Emerging Technologies?
all of my "interet freinds" will be robots and i thought i couldn't get any more lonely
who else thinks this tech will in some way destroy a part of being human?
GPT-3. Over-hyped rubbish.
Since when is Wigan in the West Midlands lmao
So AI seems to be able to see relationships between data sets that we probably can't even quantify. Buckle up, its gonna be a wild ride.
7:17 that car had impeccable timing
The cliff that refuses to be a cliff sounds a lot like your video about Torpenhow Hill
That car at 7:15 passes at a perfectly appropriate time
I know a white cliff it movedover
these was absolutely genius!
Me in 2050: Memes are kinda stale these days what shall we do AI? AI: *Revive Francis of the Filth?* Me: *OREWA OCHINCHIN GA DAISUKI NANDAYO*
"Nostalgia for a thing that never existed"? Isn't that just vaporwave?
Wow
So thats a good AI for Kurzgesagt
Did the AI suggest the title of _this_ video? Because I think my brain would melt...
"Nostalgia for a thing that never existed" is quite close to Hauntology!
Anyone else noticed how the passing car was synced to S-curve?
Kirby’s Dream Land. Seems like it pulled from the Nintendo playbook there.
The pirate who wasn’t a pirate.
Make a video about BrainFuck
‘Nostalgia for a thing that never existed’ sorta like déjà vu? The feeling of doing something before or being in that same position when it never happened.
I think you're looking for the word Liminal.
@1:42: Why does something like OpenAI not allow you to give us the full list? What’s open about that????
2:10 My guy just heard the sea 😮
Low-key wish I lived with Tom... like imagine coming home with shopping and hearing him talk about bit rate non stop? Maybe I’m just weird
The AI missed one "The terrible kerning of the sign outside the village of Lofthouse" - you can have that one Tom ;0
The Forgotten History of the British Moon Landing.... Hey, Lord Blackwood, iirc you've been to space, right?
Isn't GPT-3 the thing that Google fired it's AI Ethics researchers over because they raised a bunch of ethical concerns over how biased it was?
An industrial warehouse in the middle of nowhere could perfectly be a video
7:17 haha perfect timing
2:26 "The Green Death and The Industrial Revolution" Ted Kaczynski might be amused that a computer came up with that
The white cube at the end of the world... Sounds like a museum about 4 miles from the Greenwich meridian...
Nostalgia for something that doesn’t exist? How about nonstalgia?
Did it suggest 'Use AI to suggest video titles' ?
Video idea , How was Wigan Pier moved from Lancashire to the West midlands?
Please could include a link to your prompt, so that we could try the prompt ourselves? (if you can share it?)
Wigan Pier is in Greater Manchester not the west midlands
"If I turn the temperature down too low, it just suggesting prank videos"
i'm actually hyped to see industrial warehouse in the middle of nowhere
7:14 is it just me or the car driving by at the sime time as youre raising the energy in your voice to convey what youre talking about is so cool.
The car at 7:12 was in synch with you and the graph, freaky
So it doesn't know why people like what they like it seems
This video was posted by gpt3
It would be more incredible if the AI wrote THIS script
But what if he'd asked for a script for this video about the AI himself?
Brilliant job, this is fantastic
If there's a quantum universe, then every single event happened.
I’d love to see Jeremy Clarkson’s Lottery of Death as an actual show
I love toms face in the thumbnail!
The Russian Utopia in Holderness should be our equivalent of the Bielerfield conspiracy in Germany.
Fantazomalgia = from "φαντάζομαι, fantázomai" ("imagine") + "ἄλγος, álgos" ("pain") - "the feeling of not being able to return to something one imagined".
Hmm, that script/storyline creator would do a far better job than anything coming out of the Dr Who dept in the last 3 years
AI is perfect for conspiracy theorists to create a conspiracy theory by using something they are afraid of.
Kirby's Dreamland for the win.
You look young and old at the same time It’s confusing the part of my brain the processes faces
AI secretly said: "make a video about me🙄"
I don't know if the money from your own endeavours makes it not worthwhile, but you really deserve your own television show.
you know what? I'd LOVE to see some kind of badge or disclaimer for the titles predicted by GPT-3 for the upcoming videos!
Working towards obselecense
Should have totally done a full fictional video (like it was serious) and then the next video is the AI reveal.
What if the AI wasn't actually making up scenario's like the British landing on the moon or The Russian Utopia. What if the AI is telling the truth and this really happend, but in an alternative Earth.
Is Lofthouse twinned with Westview?
7:13 dramatic
SCP plot device machine
Tell all the trump supporter why they should wear mask
Imagine getting to be a researcher for Tom Scott. What a dream job!
"I generated more than a thousand of them" Is stealing just baked into British DNA ?
Do a video about enunciation.
AI will truly be scary the day it tells a funny joke...
This is by far my favourite video of yours so far, this is amazing
Tom Scott & GPT3 presents - Would I Lie To You? 😂
You could've asked the A.I what components would I need to build a working time machine?
Ah, so A.I Dungeon
Im curious why the company made their terms and conditions like that. Maybe some of the titles were bad, or they were worried about the possibility
4:12 so... um... is that in the database because the CIA been consulting GPT-3 for creative new ways to assassinate people?
Make a second channel where you upload the less interesting ones, don’t fully edit it like this though, just a voice over of pictures
"Why planes are technically buffalo"
Wtf, is this real, what was the ai given as input
Sounds like a phenomenal tool for writing homebrew DnD campaigns...
Anyone else can't hear the video?
