The Increasing Presence of AI in Comedy: A Critical Reflection
Recently, a rather humorous and somewhat unsettling exploration of artificial intelligence’s capabilities in generating comedy was shared by Andrew Claven. During an event, Claven recounted a conversation with a Hollywood screenwriter, who expressed concern over AI replacing writers in the entertainment industry. Claven’s dismissive response—"If a writer can be replaced by AI, he should be"—highlighted a skeptical attitude toward AI’s current and future creative potential, especially in comedy.
