Oh, you know what will enjoy a huge revival because of this? Prank calls. You'll now be able to clone Joe Pesci or Arnold's voice for a whole new era of epic prank calls

I'm sure procedural animation from scratch may get there at some point, but in the meantime I think it's better to start with a parameterized base, like models and an environment in an Unreal game that can be initialized by AI, and then AI dynamically animates them from there, all within some reasonable or realistic ranges (like e.g. what Endorphin used to do for NPC animations, but now ML built).
After looking at that perpetual Seinfeld episode above, which any time I've gone to it always have over 10,000 viewers at any given time, I have an idea to make my own perpetual show. I think the pipeline for it wouldn't be that hard with what we already have.

I found it fascinating at first, but after 2 minutes just feels like watching paint dry. Hopefully it's an evolving thing that can improve over time, and come up with better jokes

People need to build up their prompting skills if they're going to do this with the current state of the tech.

Something tells me that no matter how skilled of a bot whisperer you are, anything that's genuinely funny is bound to be more by accident than any actual prompt writing skills. If you think about the amount of skill you would need to have to coax just about the right amount of wit, unexpectedness, cultural understanding, and delivery/presentation out of a bot, it seems to me it would be way easier to just write the joke yourself.
But who knows, maybe in a not too far away future we'll live in a world where there is a deep digital divide between AI wizards who are able to produce superior machine learning enhanced jokes with their digital familiars and the ordinary peasants who will have to settle for ordinary run-of-the-mill biologically generated jokes.

If you were going to do this, the first thing is you wouldn't make a comedy for just that reason. You'd pick a genre where the dialog works the best with the best you can wring out of ChatGPT with the prompts. Just looking at the stream of comments for the Seinfeld spoof, people are treating it like some kind of ironic oracle. So I'd play into that and things like that.

Some of the best jokes are unintentional.

I think we're already in that. Some people have entirely written and self-published actual books with this.
But trying to get a deeper understanding of why ChatGPT can't write comedy, but can write action, I'm starting to think that humor writing is non-linear. Humor subverts expectations - but to do that, you need to have the expectation in the first place. So it's not just that ChatGPT doesn't know about the right social context, the whole design of LLMs which are based on adding one word at a time based on the previous text is just not suited to writing comedy - basically it lacks any mechanism to project forward to some "expected" outcome, thus be able to subvert it.
You can get ChatGPT to write comedy for you, but you DO need to manipulate the way you prompt it to get it to churn out the routine sufficiently well. Consider my last two examples, both of which were pretty funny, but in neither case did I ask ChatGPT to come up with anything funny at all.

For a while, "entrepreneurs" were using biorobots to churn out fast and cheap books on all manner of subjects and the business collapsed pretty immediately once Amazon was flooded with them. Because it turned out there wasn't much of a market for quickly written books that failed to say much on the subject because of how generic and shallow they were.
I can't remember if I have already posted it on this forum, but there's an entire Folding Ideas video on the subject:
