    I love that HackerNews headline is

    "Charlie Brooker Got ChatGPT To Write A Black Mirror Episode"

    but the full title of the article is

    "Charlie Brooker Got ChatGPT To Write A Black Mirror Episode, But It Was ‘Shit’"

      note that the full title is 1 character too long, probably should be edited to be

      Charlie Brooker Got ChatGPT To Write Black Mirror Episode, But It Was ‘Shit’

      although not sure how much people appreciate Shit on the front page?

        are...there actually adults uncomfortable with the word "shit", on a website?

          I don't know? and I don't know what the level of caring would be.

          I dunno, it's adult language and as far as I know we're all adults here.

        Charlie Brooker is fantastic:

        On how news is reported https://youtu.be/aHun58mz3vI

        On how mass shooting is reported and about the saturation https://youtu.be/PezlFNTGWv4

          The title is very misleading. The latest season wrapped before chatgpt was released. Charlie Brooker typed "generate a black mirror episode" into chatgpt out of curiosity and said the output was s**. See: https://twitter.com/charltonbrooker/status/16664940234254827...

              Flagging for the absolutely misleading click bait title

                the "got" also makes it sound like it's a challenge to have chatgpt write whatever.

                sry if I have reservations about the opinion of a non technical person about a piece of software they don't know how to use.
