The creator of the anthology series Black Mirror tried using AI to write an episode of the freaky futuristic series, but it didn’t go so well. Charlie Brooker told Empire, “The 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 sh**.”
The AI technology couldn’t come up with a good idea for an episode because all it did was look up past episodes and “mush them together,” Brooker said.
“Then if you dig a bit more deeply you go, ‘Oh, there’s not actually any real original thought here,'” Brooker said.
