![Gordon Ramsay AI]()
I'm already getting tired of making Skynet jokes and stating how
The Terminator was meant to be a cautionary tale against advancing robotics and artificial intelligence too far. But with all the upside to AI and quantum computing that could solve all the world's most pressing issues, we'll inevitably forge on for better or worse.
So let's not get too doomy and gloomy about AI. Yes, it could mean the death of creative artistic expression and cinema as we know it. For now, it's a gimmicky, psychedelic landscape in which some chronically online people punch in prompts and receive the trippiest content you could ever imagine. LSD can't conceive of this stuff. If you haven't seen the guy who gave over his vacation camera roll to AI, do yourself a favor (and maybe think twice about being sober for this for maximum effect):

What happens when we apply this AI technology to produce a mock-up video for one of the most verbose TV personalities of his generation in motormouth/legendary chef Gordon Ramsay?
Well, we don't get his trademark gift of gab, but we get a freak show fever dream of hilarity:

And ah yes, of course. The immediate self-reply to this X post reveals that there's a whole subreddit dedicated to stuff like this. Slight spoiler alert: If you wanna see what Gordon Ramsay looks like with rocket boosters in his shoes, I implore you to check this one out:

We've got a fast food-specific Ramsay video here, too, that's just as bonkers:

For about a week I was admittedly obsessed with these retrofuturistic AI trailers. Editors take modern movies and set them in the 1950s, often with actors from that age of Hollywood as stand-ins for superheroes and other iconic characters. They're still glitchy as hell and super weird but kinda cool nonetheless.

None of us can really know what the broader implications of AI will prove to be. At least for now, I'm open to the enhancements it can make to society, and I can at least chuckle or be disturbed by these videos.
Hope I've started your week off with some laughs, or traumatized you with some nightmare fuel at the very least.
I believe this is the original video that was clipped for
Elon Musk's X/Twitter.
