“Black Mirror” creator Charlie Brooker said his attempt at using artificial intelligence to write an episode of the hit sci-fi series didn’t go so well. In a new interview with Empire Magazine, the Emmy-winning writer revealed that he tried to lean on ChatGPT to write an episode for the Netflix show but that the final product wound up going totally off the rails. “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 shit.”ChatGPT is an AI chatbot tool that uses natural language processing to create human-like conversational dialogue. Brooker explained that all the chatbot basically did was sift through the show’s episode synopses and “sort of mush them together,” resulting in a whopping disappointment.
