Whether you reckon ChatGPT will destroy the world or become a handy tool, fans of the long-running sitcom M*A*S*H would agree that at least it reunited 2 of its beloved characters… Star Alan Alda asked the artificial intelligence chatbot to write a script for a scene where Hawkeye accuses right-hand man BJ of stealing his boxer shorts. The result was read out by Alda and co-star Mike Farrell on the former’s podcast, and you can judge how it turned out… The pair disagreed on whether ChatGPT and similar technologies will put TV writers out of a job anytime soon, but, luckily, the large language model isn’t sentient, with Alda saying it has “a terrible sense of humour”. The exercise marked the first time the characters have interacted since the 1983 series finale, which to this day remains the most-watched program on US television other than the Super Bowl.
