Watch as the worlds of artificial intelligence and improv comedy collide as ChatGPT’s creative and comedic abilities are put to the test in real-time. This show pairs AI with actual living improvisers. Together, they will collaborate in creating an improvised scene based on audience suggestions. Can AI understand and replicate human emotions? Will AI be able to make audiences laugh as well as a living, breathing human? Find out in LOLgorithm, running for just five performances as part of Improv Versus the Machine.
