WIBCI humans entertained humans?
Wouldn’t It Be Cool If I didn’t just see, what I just saw?
I just walked by a television, if I had to guess, it was probably on ‘live TV’, and probably was the end of a movie. It was late in the credits, that is what caught my attention, I don’t believe I’ve seen the end of credits on ‘live TV’ in quite some time. Normally I have to split my attention between the opening credits of one in the corner, while the closing credits of the previous means of entertainment shrinks away whilst increasing to a pace only Speed Reader could keep up with.
May I digress, and shout out to anyone who got the Great Space Coaster reference. I remember he could read a book and give Gary Gnu a synopsis in seconds. He read so fast he needed a headband. If you don’t know, now you know.
Anyways, back to me being caught off guard with the sight of complete credits. As a member of the audience you were allowed you to see all the images those that made it intended you to see, right until the final fade to black. Having worked near people who yearned to be IN credits themselves, I understand the importance of them, and proudly like to sit in a movie theater until all the names have stopped rolling by. We owe the Best Boy Grip this at least. So I was impressed that the station, or service, or platform allowed the audience to see all the hardworking people that spent a portion of their lives dedicated to the preceding art offering.
Then I saw it.
The final credit, the one that drifted by, slower than all before it. This individual apparently deserved the honor of not only taking longer to drift by but then to stop and linger into the open window of the final image on screen. There this obviously consequential contributor remained until the final dip-to-black. Who, do you ask, did this final, significant credit go to? Whom did the broadcasting medium think so important as to break the norm of whizzing the credits by our eyeballs in teeny tiny zoomed out font at super human speed?!
None other than……
ChatGPT
So….we are giving credit to computers for creating entertainment now?
Does this make anyone else uncomfortable?
