A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

With current technology, someone could probably bring back Max Headroom as an actual computer generated character. (self.showerthoughts)

Between AI, voice cloning, and modern CGI I’m surprised we haven’t gotten a real computer-generated talk show host.

Yeah I think we had a sag strike for that reason but also it would be terrible. Unlike the CSuite's wet dreams. It's not at all even close to creating anything worth watching that's not the novelty look what an Ai can do. The equivalent of a monkey mimicking a human. Aww it thinks it's people.

Proof an AI is even remotely like a human would be the fact that if it thought it was human, it would show signs of depression.
