Some comedians are turning to artificial intelligence for their new new material.
“Why did the politician bring a ladder to the debate? To make sure he could reach new heights with his promises!”Perhaps not funny enough to deliver on stage in front of a paying audience, but that doesn’t mean there is no room for AI in comedy.
The BBC sat down with Anesti after his sixth performance in seven days at the Toronto Fringe Theatre Festival in July. He explained the writing process behind his show “Artificially Intelligent”. Reflecting on the experience, Anesti says: "I learned through the process that human creativity can't be replicated or replaced, and in the end about 20% of the show was pure AI, and the other 80% was a mix.”So far, he says, he has only had good feedback from audience members, including Olivia Smith and Bethany Radford, who both live in Toronto.
If she is watching something, she adds: “I feel like I know when the writing had no human involved. But I'm sure that will change as it gets smarter.”in terms of the combined value of tickets sold. That is according to data from trade publication Pollstar, which monitors the live performance sector. It says US comedy ticket sales hit $900m in 2023, up from $371m in 2012.a year to the UK economy.
“I'm so aware that the only reason I think this way is because of my four-year indoctrination in the school of San Francisco,” she says. “I realised AI can be your weapon, just like Google can be your weapon. If you know how to use AI correctly, you are unstoppable.”Not everyone in the comedy world is keen to try AI though, including Kiwi-Filipino comedian James Roque. He says it doesn’t fit with his approach to humour.
