So... your AINovel generator is basically Chris Chibnall, had he become a TV show critic?
Half the time I kept forgetting this essay was AI Generated so I thought Harbo was genuinely talking about his son.
The sonic screwdriver is quite possibly the most terrifying reoccurring monster.
Idk the tardis is pretty terrifying
@@theexcaliburone5933 They're not scary at all. A TARDIS and a sonic screwdriver are a Time Lord's best friends. 💫
So... your AINovel generator is basically Chris Chibnall, had he become a TV show critic?
I'm not going to lie, I'd quite like to live in that alternate universe where Doctor Who was reinvented as an early 90s Saturday morning cartoon. I can absolutely picture Jamie or Zoe (that's Theakston and Ball, not McCrimmon and Heriot) announcing it on Live & Kicking.
The BBC actually did have plans to do that and contracted the Canadian animation studio Nelvana, famous for titles such as Care Bears, Eek! The Cat, and Fairly OddParents, to develop it, but it was ultimately never produced.
I started dying when the AI began listing random shows that are 'happy to take your money.'
It's the fact it went "there are many kids shows that are happy to take your money such as" and started the list with Game of Thrones (a show full of sex, violence and incest) and Breaking Bad (a show about making meth lmfao)
truly a brilliant touch, I also died
AI Harbo: "I've been watching the show for 30 years, including during the classic era which ran for '13' years between 1963 and 1989..."
Also AI Harbo: "I'm in my 30s now..."
Well that sure was a rollercoaster. I have to say though that Doctor Who certainly is my favourite Saturday morning animated show that's aimed at kids and silly adults but with vocabulary aimed at adults but that kids can only enjoy as well as adults.
I think my favourite line may have been
“It’s still going today, although it only lasted for 3 seasons”
We stan people who dismiss Miracle Day but do recognise Big Finish 😂
Somehow the funniest thing about this is the fact that the AI called him ‘Russel Davis’
This is interesting. If you take any 15-second clip and listen to it isolated, it sounds like a really insightful point is being made. But any longer than that and you realize the narrator is contradicting earlier statements and speaking in circles.
“These movies exist outside of their own universes.”
Really? They do?
LMAO
It makes sense. The Star Wars movies do not exist in the Star Wars universe.
Harbo makes a normal video:
Harbo gets an AI to make his video: oh yeah that sounds interesting I'll watch that
Yes
"Only lasted for 3 seasons" W Miracle-Day-hating AI
Watching for 40 years?! Bugger me, what's your skincare routine, you've aged incredibly well!
I have two men following me everywhere who moisturise me on command
@@HarboWholmes Ah well, that's a nice story to share with your son (even though he doesn't exist yet).
Watching it for 40 years is incredible when you consider he says later in the script that he's only in his 30s!
@@IndiBrony something something timey wimey I guess?
😂
"I've watch doctor who for 40 years."
"now in my thirties"
bro, you can regenerate?
My favourite part was where I learned that Torchwood only lasted for three seasons....and continues to this day. 😵💫
We stan people who dismiss Miracle Day but do recognise Big Finish 😂
8:00 killed me. AI about to start ripping into the BBC lmao
🤣🤣🤣
‘It’s not them being dumb it’s me being slow’ is a line a little too close to home for twt users
twt?
@@PlayerZeroStart twitter
“It even got a spin off show, Torchwood, which is about a group of heroes who fight aliens for a living. It’s still going today.
… Although it only lasted for three seasons.”
My favourite series of Doctor Who is 1990's Doctor Who and the Daleks with teenage Romana. I can't believe it didn't catch on.
So hyped that Kerblam has purchased Harbo Wholmes!
Ah yes my favorite Doctor Who monster- the sonic screwdriver. The Tardis is a close second, but it’s a bit too OP for me
I’m telling you, That Sonic Screwdriver will take the Doctor down some day, after all it’s a bit of a monster.
"But it also means that we're constantly seeing the same man in different guises. We get to see a lot of David Tennant, Christopher Eccleston, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi, but we never meet a single person called 'Doctor'. I understand why Russell Davies and Steven Moffat decided to use this idea"
I love it when words are thrown together in a coherent and correct order, but by the laws of the English language say literally nothing.
For real though 😂
"I've been watching it for more than 40 years"
"I'm now in my thirties"
...seems legit
(all jokes aside, though... this was scarily impressive)
Get the AI to write a Dr Who Episode 👀
It would probably be as good if not better then Chibnals writing
Get an AI to resolve The Timeless Child.
It's like a monolingual person using Google Translate and coming away believing that the translation is perfect.
You should have an AI write a Doctor Who script
The A.I knows who you are and it does kind of sound like how you would write such an essay if you were drunk.
Maybe I should do one where it's actually trained on my videos!
@@HarboWholmes That's a good idea 💡

"Who fire aliens for a living."
Yeah, I loved that comedy where they bring in a new alien recruit every episode, who ends up doing something wrong and getting "fired" by Jack at the end.
Also kinda relevant: My pfp is an image made by the midjourney AI. Prompt was "smol boi" lol.
The best part is how much the AI contradicts itself, usually only a sentence apart. Like how it mentioned "Doctor Who looked the same as it did when I was 12" and then immediately starts talking about how it massively changes visually every few years.
the premise sounds like a Doctor Who episode itself!
This started off pretty strong, with a few minor mistakes, and got slightly worse later on, but still reasonably good.
It kinda sounds like someone who's thoughts just aren't really... together...
12:28
HOLY S*** that line goes HARD.
RTD, hire this... mAIn?
Also kinda relevant: My pfp is an image made by the midjourney AI. Prompt was "smol boi" lol
A show about traveling through time and space that's set in London.
An A.I. actually wrote that? Not bad! At times it actually sounded like a person, other times it went off on weird tangents, but that part where it talked about watching it with your as yet unborn kid.... woaahhh!!!! 😱
I love how it starts off semi accurate and just devolves into what in the actual fuck
Now this is the content I subscribed for. A review of Children of What Now?
The fact that the AI can't help but wedge The Matrix into every comparison is very concerning.
I think next time you should try and make the AI do a episode of dr who 😂
The sad part is, apart from the obvious factual errors and weird alt history segment, this didn’t sound that much different from your average low effort UA-cam Video Essay. Next thing you know, the AI will have cornered the market on crappy thought pieces about why the Star Wars sequels were good, actually XD.
This video is a combination of my two favorite forms of media: Doctor Who video essays, and computers giving their best semblance of a human opinion
Ah yes, those 30 year olds who have followed Doctor Who for 40 years…
I just want to say Harbo that I love your experimental videos and it is interesting how this AI completely understand and misunderstand the spirit of Doctor Who. Oh and kids shows does not exist is was something Brits invented alongside snooped.
it's like the AI just randomly copied pieces of other peoples' opinions, and added parts of wiki articles. makes no sense, but 'sounds' real if you're not paying much attention. content farms could use this ai to write videos for them, if they arent doing it already.
I noticed right away something was not quite right. The history of the show was off. Many descriptions were wrong. The biography of the Doctor was inaccurate.
It’s as if the piece had been sent to press - pardon the reference to an old publishing paradigm - without passing it through an editor and doing rewrites.
That’s my take on it.
*Pulls down cab window* "Harbo's a Robot!"
We've gone from computers randomly spewing autocorrect words, to it joining together disparate paragraphs and ideas. "You've come a long way, baby!" But still has quite a long way to go.
On 4chan some people are making some hentai art. On the surface it looks amazing that it's getting style and lighting down. Then you realize the hands are backwards or has too many finger, and/or digits coming out of the palm in weird places.
I started using AI to clean up and upscale video. It's hit and miss though, some results are fantastic to looking like a real HD transfer, to meh results, to horrible results where the people look like plastic, and small figures take on freakishly horrific faces.
This can’t be real, how tf can so make something this good, I remember when we were watching “an ai writes a horror/Christmas/romance story”
ah, The Matrix, my favourite TV series
"Doctor who was dead at least until 1996" wow we where conned into thinking it was revived 9 years later in 2005...
Torchwood, still going today although it only lasted for three seasons
I'd like to see an AI generated episode of Doctor Who...like feed all 59 years into it and see what it gives back as an episode.
I love how it sounds so sincere but it actually makes no sense whatsoever hahahaha
You should make an episode of Doctor who with ai and write a review for it
Because this was amazing
Doctor who and the Daleks animated series, the true golden era of the show
Only the _true_ fans remember the animated series... lol
ah yes, 1963-1989, best 13 years of my life
The AI basically blames BBC, the producers, the audiences. Basically everyone.
ngl this was so close to coming to a coherent thought multiple times.
This is like a lot of blogs I see online. The grammar and facts don't always make sense.
those bloody AIs stealing our jobs
Send them back
That AI isn't as smart as it thinks it is.
This feels exactly like one of your videos, if they had no direction and you just talked about doctor who while giving some incoherently dumb takes
Someone thinking I’m dumb for watching doctor who as an adult makes me laugh, not only did that show make my childhood, and as a result it became a comfort show, it also has some very good writing(obviously not all the time) but it’s a great show with some great stories. It makes me feel safe. If you think I’m dumb for that, idc. When I want to commit sewerslide, it helps stop me. Doctor who, to me, provides an environment and lore as rich as the Witcher universe, cyberpunk, red dead 2. It’s great and I can’t wait for tenant to return.
Okay I see that you pretty much agree with me after resuming the video, I love dr who, every few years I go back and watch my favorites
Some AI actually arguably does have an equivalent to emotions, but only the two most basic, "happy" and "hurt"
The most common method of training AI involves giving them a task, and then a simpler algorithm decides if they did well or poorly at that task. If it did well, the neural connections in the AI's network that lead to that decision are strengthened, while if it did poorly, the neural connections that lead to the decision are weakened. This is incredibly similar to how human emotions impact our behavior, albeit to a simpler degree.
do you think this AI might like Battlestar Galactica?
I feel like the AI got bribed half way through to start bashing the show and Doctor Who fans.
the start of the video was a scarily accurate YOU.
Can someone timestamp where the AI reading starts? I can't find it...
I mean idk if it flew under the radar. I think most ppl don’t want to watch an AI generated video that will get stuff wrong.
Doctor who ran for 13 years between 1963 and 1989.. I rest my case. lol
conerts makes Doctor who sound like a religion. i pray oh mighty doctor save me from daleks.
Considering the AI's penchant for creating obviously contradictory statements, compared with reality that is, I would say your job is safe. Your own passion with Doctor Who, it's good... and it's bad, comes through.
Even with you narrating, the AI's did not.
Maybe it was a hidden descendant of W.O.T.A.N. ... ;)
You know, I'm disappointed the AI didn't describe the Sontarans as warrior baked potato dwarves.
Cool video. Out of curiosity, do you know when you’re planning on doing the Deep Breath review?
Daleks aren’t robots! I’m getting a lot of Moviebob vibes from this
Still can’t make a coherent argument sounds like most folks posting on the internet
Feels like it regurgitated a few wiki articles and a few reviews and opinion pisces. :-p
It contradicts itself every 2 seconds
Incredible how much it focused on the show supposedly being for kids first as if teens, young-adults and older audiences are secondary and not worth as much.
I imagine this is what it's like marking a GCSE English Lit essay, written by someone who has never read the book, and who's research consisted of Wikipedia and Cliff Note's. Oh, and half of your essay is supposed to be about the audience 😂
I just like how it starts to make sense but in a few moments it destroys all the good work it's done and makes nonsense again. Also I think it would be funnier for it to be narrated by AI too, I watched a few AI made reviews for something being absolutely wrong in everything and part of fun for it was the AI voicing
If this is where we're at with A.I then I'm not worried.
Unless...
Oh no, what if... what if Harbo has been an A.I all along?
What's the point of being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes
You should have waited till the end before revealing it was written by an AI 😂
Honestly, bots spitting facts
This is truly something to behold
2:39 is that true?
Cause if it is, why the hell is Norway not one of them!? D:
This AI really loved it's lists 😂
This would be one of those ranking videos if it didnt have your voice
My man didn't want to write an essay himself about doctor who so he ended up writing one about ai instead-
That confirms it.
Humanity's screwed.
Will you review season 12????????
I wasn't expecting a cameo from The Klumps
Why does it make valade points
Speaking as someone who is looking to get into freelance article writing, I watched this to see if I could get away with using AI to "ghostwrite" for me if I have an excessive workload - as in, if I find myself with six deadlines to meet and only have enough time left to write and research 5, could I farm out the last one to the robots and still make a payday...?
In terms of whether this AI could actually _replace_ me as a writer... well, I think I can probably rest easy knowing there's still a place (for now at least) for a real human being in this business!
However, it seems like this might be a good way of collecting research on a new subject... with some oversight. If I told the AI to go write me an article, it would hopefully come up with enough useful, _correct_ information which I could then use as a starting point for a real human-written article on the subject. I mean, the AI obviously got some of its information _heinously_ wrong in this article, but as you pointed out, it got a lot more right than I think any of us expected. So as long as I took that article and rigorously fact-checked it _first,_ I think it would give me a helpful synopsis of a subject I knew nothing about - like a research assistant giving me some notes to work from, saving me from having to spend hours doing a deep-dive without even knowing where to start.
Since I'm a regular viewer of this and other similar channels for years I obviously know quite a bit about Doctor Who, but if I were someone who had been living under a rock and somehow had absolutely no idea of what this strange sci-fi TV show was, this video essay would give me at least _some_ idea of what it was about. If I used this as my sole source without verifying any of the facts I'd end up with some pretty funny ideas about the series, don't get me wrong - but if I went in knowing that the facts stated weren't _necessarily_ correct, and used it as a jumping-off point for further research, I would save a lot of time looking up basic terms and concepts.
If I briefly scanned this script and quickly compared it to the Wikipedia article on the show, it's likely I would be able to pick out many of the finer points between the two and have enough of a grasp of the concepts and some of the more esoteric elements of the show... which, had I theoretically not known anything about Doctor Who before jumping in, would take a lot of time and a lot of dead-ends before I understood it properly. I could then jump into deep-dives on more specific elements from there, having saved myself a lot of time gaining a basic familiarity with the subject.
In short, I don't think AI is going to beat me out of the writing market - but it _could_ act as a time-saving research tool to give me a useful overview of a subject I'm unfamiliar with... so long as I thoroughly fact-check it first, of course.
Let's say, for example, I'm looking up something about the history of the Spanish monarchy in the 14th century for an article I've been commissioned for - something which right now, I know basically nothing about. I _could_ look up just the Wikipedia article and use that as a jumping-off point, but if I combined that with an AI-generated article which also trawled the web for other peripheral information, I might find out about some interesting tidbits the Wiki article left out. By comparing both I could check the common facts between the two articles, then investigate that interesting tidbit the AI had thrown up and see if it held water (or if the robot was just editorialising!).
And BOOM! - I've got some basic background knowledge on a subject I previously knew nothing about, as well as a hook for a new article about a slightly-more-obscure factoid which I would never have known to look for (let alone be able to contextualise) in pretty short order. I've gone from knowing nothing about the 14th century Spanish monarchy to being able to at least confidently hold a conversation about it, even throwing in some interesting sidelines which could provide fodder for articles. I've saved myself a lot of time trying to come up with the right questions to ask and have some basic facts and context at the tips of my fingers comparatively quickly, leaving me more time to write (or research different subjects for other articles).
So will AI take over the jobs of writers anytime soon...? I don't think so (although sadly, in this world of "fake news" factual accuracy is becoming less and less important...). But could it help as a research assistant...? I think, if you were to take into account its shortcomings (and check its work accordingly) that, yes, it most certainly can.
Hey Harbo, are you gonna review Children of Earth?
+1 day
You should make AI write an episode
mention red dwarf for one please?
I was wondering why he said it was 1996 and then remembered it was an AI
What A.I did you use?
I'm going to cancel that AI engine for saying Daleks are robots.
