Justin and Allison showcase some of the best and most interesting comedy written by artificial intelligence (often with the help of humans) and also attempt to write some themselves.
It's no secret that the world of computational creativity is much different today than it was five years ago, so it seems like the right moment to put this robot into sleep mode. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much if you've followed us along this journey, if you've laughed at our stupidest jokes, if you've explored the tools we talked about, if you enjoyed the silly stories we told about silly people, if you spent any of your valuable time listening to this podcast at all. We're not gone forever and we will certainly have a new podcast on the horizon hopefully soon, so please keep in touch with us if you'd like to follow us into whatever comes next!

But first, we also of course have to talk about the guy who will have everyone asking why you invited him to your party: ChatGPT.
