i expect you could now, you could probably get it to do the script too - but i doubt it would do it well. AI still seems to need a LOT of guidance and input to do good stuff.

Billy Coull, the guy who created that awful Wonkaland experience in Glasgow, self-published 18 books in one year, all written by AI. Yes, they were awful

All credit to the guy for trying though, he was getting AI to write entire books while I was still trying to get ChatGPT to do basic research that was actually useful.

That's genuinely impressive, it's like a hugely artisitic glitch. That's the kind of thing that AI can uniquely produce.

Why do April fools articles always pop up months later

*checks date on article*

Hang on that’s real?? How the fuck did someone think that was a good idea??

Business idea for @Mito Man, I never realised goat rentals was a thing

Neither, only seen it in Clarkson's farm as a joke. They do go through material at an unbelievable rate though to the point that it doesn't make sense how they fit it all in their stomach without exploding.

On the topic of odd business ideas. There's now a company that is planning on launching satellites with mirrors on them next year. You can then using your phone pay and instantly get a beam of light down from space to illuminate your coordinates, or use it to power solar panels.
If this actually becomes a thing, it's probably gonna really screw up the Earth

Well, that's a fucking scam

It's not a scam if your referring to rent a goat. It happens all the time in rural areas!

But can you rent a brightly lit goat?

I mean, between renting goat and renting a satellite to brighten up your land at night, which one do you really think I'd be referring to as a scam...?

Obviously it's the goats. Goats, like birds, aren't real and are MI6 surveillance drones. They eat so much plant matter because the bioreactors are inefficient.

Mr. Fusion powered walking drones, if makes sense now why they only walk, it’s to avoid the potential time travel issues if they could travel at 88mph!

I can strap a 100,000 lumen torch to one of the goats.

Be honest.

They'd get it loose out whatever harness you put it in, and they'd try to eat it.

Why is my goat a walking nightlight????!!!!!!

Yep. They used to have nylon dog collars - chewed them off and ate them.

I had never previously realised that wonderful children’s tv show from the 70s, Rentaghost, was a pun on Rent A Goat.

^ Bah, beaten to it, that's what I was thinking as I read through it.
