You do have a knack for entertaining people. That'll never change unless, of course, you retire again. I don't know about the AI shit, but it seems like things may come full circle and books will once again be banned as being heretical, seditious or treasonous. Yay for computer literacy, Yay for AI.....how about Yay for true knowledge and common sense? lol and woe to all those poor saps who *refuse* to laugh. Humans are of not much use without humor. What a dreary gray and white world that would be.
I'm still retired. Entertaining, sure, but I was getting to the point where I was spending an entire week crafting one post. Or cramming that time into a few days or less. Come here, do a few, and I was immediately exhausted. Could give several more reasons as to why I'm just not interested any more. That's just the way things went. This post was easy to write.
And yes the world is going in that direction but AI will be more efficient at taking everything we do, and converting it all into standardized groupthink. And people like being controlled if there's something in it for them so they'll just keep feeding that machine.
The laughs are fun. Attempting to create laughs can be a real pain in the ass. And the world is fragile these days, with so much going on. Timing matters.
I really did relate to the comment about the sadness and depression of comedians. I can only imagine how much time it would take to prepare even a small set of 10 minutes or so. The stress of an unreceptive audience would just be the piss in your boot. If you don't get sued, you get booed.
Fragile describes perfectly the whole damned world right now. Egos and all
Every time I hear the pros talking about it, I can still relate. They have a future to work towards though and a lot of money, so it's worth going through the growing pains, for them.
Ever watch Kill Tony on Youtube. If you like comedy, that's a good one.
I haven't seen it...I'll check it out
