I asked an AI for video ideas, and they were actually good

I should clarify that by "out of ideas", I mean that I've only got enough to last me until the end of March, or maybe the middle of April if lockdown eases. The way I work, that's close enough that I start to get worried.

I would love some of those not real stories! You should make a second channel devoted to it.

Is it just me or does "rhe white cube at the end of the world" make anyone else think of the "Ice cube project"... I think that is what it is called... I think they were trying to find out more about Neutrinos? Likely not a video option. But really interesting and worth reading into in my opinion

The beach where you can hear the sea XD

Lofthouse is about 30 minutes away from a village which was fully submerged following the building of Thruscross Reservoir, so the AI got so very close to being right

Jeremy Clarkson's lottery of death is something I want to see (also, Clarkson must be a great source of material for AIs). And I'd love to read the script for British Moon landings as well, because why Britain should stop at Earth when could conquer the universe?

i feel like nostalgia for something you’ve never experienced is just... a wish??

There actually is a word for nostalgia for something that’s never existed! It’s anemoia

anything worth doing once is worth doing twice

I will give up my left lung to watch Jeremy Clarkson’s Lottery of Death

"The Dream of a Russian Utopia in East Yorkshire" Had be wheezing, lmao-

That was fun

Those untrue ones are almost all SCP ideas...

I need a fictional Tom Scott universe channel.

The cliff that refuses to be a cliff Huh I swear you just uploaded that video

Animated Tom Scott looks like Grian

I want to see the cliff that refuses to be a cliff.

2:45

I’m from Aberfan, good shout not doing that one, very depressing

“The cliff that refuses to be a cliff” would be a great video explaining a geological terminology error made in 1963 that has never been corrected

the traffic on that road has perfect timing

Dude I love dungeon So stories and this reminds me of that.

I wish you had hit the “write script” button on Jeremy Clarkson’s Lottery of Death

i heard the failed bomb plot pigeon and choked on my water

I demand to see the cliff that refuses to be a cliff

Cool drawings

now give the AI the title "faeces"

Interesting.

“The cliff that refuses to be a cliff” There are so many great reinforced cliffs out there. If a cliff needs to be reinforced multiple times it could be said that it’s refusing to be a cliff.

the face in the thumbnail tho

Whats the deal with green, Green Death and Green in the batman smells vid

5:22 Thats just called the Mandela Effect

"The white cube at the end of the world" broke me xDDD

Just a RANDOM question: If an AI built something, who does it belong to? The creator of the AI, or the person who placed in the details that the content the AI generates is based off of?

Plot Twist: The AI came up with this title and the script.

AI Title generator: "I asked an AI for video ideas, and they were actually good" Tom: What? AI Title generator: What?

I actually enjoyed this video so much that I came back a month later to watch it again and chuckle a bit

I think one of the titles was supposed to have been "The Beach - Where You Can Hear the Sea."

It's like a spaceship for sharks...

You know you’re hitting rock bottom when you start to ask an ai for advice

Only Tom Scott could turn "I'm out of ideas" into an intriguing video.

I really do want a Russian utopia in Yorkshire

Regarding "The British Road That Is Also A Boat", I direct your attention to the SS Badger, a ferry in the US between Ludington, MI and Manitowoc, WI that is officially a part of highway US 10.

When you don't know a video idea, you just make a video about video ideas. Seems about alright.

2:19 this one sounds like a proper vid actually

"The Cliff That Refuses to Be A Cliff" honestly does sound like a Tom Scott video hahahaha

The next 50 years are gonna be weird and exciting!

Plot twist: The AI is from an alternate universe which is why it had prompts for things that don’t exist, it is slowly creating a portal for the universe it came from and by telling prompts of things from that universe, once it has told enough alternate universe prompts, a portal will open and the alternate universe will take over our universe

TOM SCOTT IS OUT OF IDEAS?!

I love how you double check that Lofthouse was still there at the end

"Kirby's Dream" may have come from the snes game "Kirby's Dream Course"

Why don't you work with the animator and make "The Tales from the AI" and make some of the 'odd' ideas.

I know it's cloudy in Britain all the time, but the strange light up there is called the sun. It's been up there for several decades at this point.

"The cliff that refuses to be a cliff." Cliff Richard?

A cool parlour trick. But without understanding what the words mean, it can't look for truth in meaning. We're no closer to synthetic intelligence than we ever were. This is just another chatbot.

the format right for this chanel? "Tom Scott talks for about 5 to 10 minutes".

does sea air affect medical equipment?

‘Jeremy Clarkson’s Lottery of Death’ gives me ‘Danny Dyer’s Chocolate Homunculus’ vibes.

“The Long Forgotten History of the British Moon Landings” ...ouch

these are less video ideas and more a list of homebrew dnd warlock patrons.

how the onion generates ideas

7:13 That car passed at a really perfect moment.

As an artist who creates parafictional histories, I'm delighted to see that AI might be coming for my job, too. It's nice to feel included.

Not the point at all lmao, but wigan is in greater manchester which is in the north-west, not the west midlands

Catch a sugar cube, put it in antarctica The white cube at the end if the world

5:20 Notstalgia?

AI is getting scarily smart.

post office railway? hello i am interested

7:17 the sound of the car matches perfectly with the uprising gesture Tom made. nice

I can imagine eventually that the whole youtube process could be entirely automated by AI, finding video ideas, generating a script, creating an animation. Its very possible for something like that to happen, which is quite a scary thought...

The airport where you can see planes

What I'd do to get my hands on it

You can actually make a religion out of that.

Give the AI books and we can read a new ending.... Or the ending from got so we dont have to wait

2:54 Oh wow, that's actually quite accurate, coming from someone who knows the area. Edit: Damn, there's some good ones in here. The Village That Was Saved By Synchronised Traffic Lights: Sounds like any village, on any given day honestly. Cars can cause some havoc if the traffic lights stop displaying what they should. The White Cube At The End Of The World: Huh. So, an ice cube? Maybe a sugar cube? Sounds like the beginning of a sci fi film to me. The Sanity-Defying Crossroads on the Isle Of Skye: Who the hell can figure out how crossroads work anyway, right? I'd say just use GPS, but that explains what makes it so sanity-defying. How a Secret Gadget in The Beam of The Olympic Stadium Helped Deliver Britain's Medals: What, are aliens beaming down Olympic medals now? The Long Forgotten History of the British Moon Landings: Huh. It's right, I certainly don't remember the Brits ever landing on the moon. Seems like something that I would remember... The Island With a Gravity Defying Vertical Mountain: I love that it has to specify that the mountain is vertical. As if there's any doubt that the mountain isn't somehow on its side. Honestly, THAT would be more gravity defying. The Strange Light That Floats Over Oxfordshire: The sun? Maybe the moon? I dunno, a street lamp? The Lost Village of Lofthouse That's Now Invisible: Explains how we managed to lose it. Are we sure it didn't just get demolished and the owner's in denial? The Dream of a Russian Utopia in East Yorkshire: The only thing fictional about this story is the fact that the Russians haven't been able to make it happen yet.

"I asked an AI for video ideas, and they were unexpectedly good, and instead of using the great ideas that the AI came up with, I'm going to put the suggestions themselves just because."

dang i want to watch those

The changing slope of graph at 7:15 matches the changing volume of the car zooming by.

Fun fact: This is Tom Scott's 600th video

If there was actually a family named "Kirby," they would have been waiting day and night for a chance to name something "Kirby's Dream," although obviously not in the 1800s.

Looking like Grian

Come to India and make video on ""Bhopal gas leak accident ""

That interview the A.I. generated is eerie af

Content

"The beach where you can hear the sea" is definitely a Tom Scott video. I refuse to believe that that is not a Tom Scott video.

Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows has a word for that! Anemoia: Nostalgia For A Time You’ve Never Known

Can you do more of these fictional things? Just as like... One every so often with your regular content? It'll be suchhhh a treat dude

Sounds like this is a dramatic reading podcast in the making

The car at 7:16 was perfect with the graph

How do I run openai GPT-3?

There actually is a word for "nostalgia for a time that's never existed/you've never known"! It's called anemoia. :)

The German term SehnSucht maybe? or yearning? wistfulness?

''The white cube at the end of the world'' sounds really cool

All those fictional video ideas sound like Welcome to Night Vale episodes if the show was set in britain

i wonder what kind of corn videos it would make.

Wow, 1501001 views.

this ai has better grammer and writing skills than me 😳😳 it feels like a parallel universe which we are living in!

"We don't know where we are on that curve yet; we never do until it flattens out." Damn, dude. That's deep.

loved the response to the cliff that refuses to be a cliff

"The Green Death and the industrial revolution" could mean the mass scale conversion from agricultural to industrial economy
