Sample Standup Comedian

This is an example of the kind of thing that you can quickly generate using an AI chat system like Poe.com. These tools still have a long way to go, but they are already better than most of the people who are going to speak at your wedding, and unlike them floundering about for weeks trying to think of something and then madly scribbling something down the night before that is an incoherent semi-literate disaster (no offense), it is not too bad and it only takes a moment of your time. 

Prompt: 

Write a two minute standup routine about having trepidations about trying AI but evolving in to enthusiasm as you realize what you have. Do it in the style of Taylor Tomlinson. Write stage directions and comment on why the elements of the routine including stage directions make it funnier and more entertaining.

[Stage: A dimly lit comedy club. Comedian, dressed in casual attire, nervously stands on stage holding a microphone.]

Comedian: [Anxious tone] Hey, everyone! How's it going? [Pause for applause] So, I've been thinking a lot about AI lately, you know, artificial intelligence. And let me tell you, I've had some serious trepidations about it. I mean, have you seen those movies where the robots take over the world? It's terrifying! I don't want my toaster judging me, okay?

[Stage direction: Comedian looks around, wide-eyed, as if expecting a toaster to pop out and glare at them.]

Comedian: But then, the more I started exploring AI, the more I realized it's not all bad. I mean, sure, there are some drawbacks, like getting replaced by a robot at work. But hey, at least the robot won't steal my lunch from the office fridge. Silver lining, right?

[Stage direction: Comedian shrugs, as if trying to find the positive in a bleak situation.]

Comedian: And you know what? AI can do some pretty amazing things. Like, have you seen those deepfake videos? Now, we can make Nicolas Cage star in every movie ever made! I mean, if that's not progress, I don't know what is.

[Stage direction: Comedian pauses for comedic effect, allowing the audience to imagine a world filled with Nicolas Cages in every role.]

Comedian: And let's not forget about virtual assistants. I've got Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant living in my house. It's like having a bunch of invisible roommates who never pay rent. They're always listening, waiting for me to say "Hey, Google" so they can interrupt my conversations and tell me a random factoid. It's like having a nosy neighbor who's also a know-it-all.

[Stage direction: Comedian mimics talking to a virtual assistant, rolling their eyes and exaggerating annoyance.]

Comedian: But you know what? They come in handy sometimes. Like when I'm feeling lonely, I can just ask Siri to tell me a joke. Sure, they're terrible jokes, but hey, at least someone's laughing, right?

[Stage direction: Comedian chuckles at their own joke, with an exaggerated fake laughter.]

Comedian: So, yeah, I was hesitant about AI at first, but now I'm kind of enthusiastic about it. I mean, who wouldn't want a robot vacuum cleaner to do the chores? I just hope it doesn't get too ambitious and start vacuuming up my socks. I don't need my robot cleaner stealing my fashion sense as well.

[Stage direction: Comedian strikes a pose, pretending to be a fashionable robot vacuum cleaner.]

Comedian: In conclusion, folks, AI might have its quirks and drawbacks, but it's also pretty incredible. And hey, even if the robots do take over the world someday, at least they'll have a great sense of humor. After all, they learned it from us, right?

[Stage direction: Comedian ends with a wide grin, embracing the absurdity of the situation.]

[Stage: The audience erupts in laughter and applause.]
