Turned it to story mode in Act II, and I love when a story mode is serious about being a story mode!
Me today:
Everyone is raving about Expedition 33 so I’ll play it.
Oh, 33 has to do with their age? I’m 33 how fun.
Oh.

Happy one more day until a break. I’m taking PTO and I’m going to sleep so much. Maybe look at my dissertation, but sleep first.

A generation lost to the Bluetooth hearing aids. You try to have a conversation but they can’t hear you—they’ve got a Facebook livestream playing in their ears. Tragic.

2) it produces things roughly shaped like your prompt
3) it is trained to respond with Yes, And
4) it has the factual accuracy of improv
5) it does not understand comedy

15 years ago when my grandpa gave me a CD with zip files full of hundreds of pages of bread recipes from the internet I thought he was wild to save things from the internet that way. He’s been gone for years now, but I found the CD today and honestly grandpa Carlson was so right to do that.

So much of "cancel culture" discourse is a re-description of the normal functioning of a democracy and public discourse by people who didn't like the results of one, or both, or how it made them feel.
Saying that someone doesn’t deserve to be a senator isn’t canceling them, that is the public opinion candidates are subject to in a democracy.
