The latest South Park episode about ChatGPT was hilarious. It cleverly incorporated modern technology and had great social commentary. The characters using ChatGPT to write text messages for their girlfriends was relatable and funny. It's one of the best episodes this season and definitely worth watching for a good laugh.

In the latest episode of South Park, the students of South Park Elementary are struggling with schoolwork and communication, especially when it comes to crafting text messages. Enter ChatGPT, a sophisticated language model that the students turn to in hopes of finding solutions to their problems. The AI quickly proves to be a hit, providing insightful and sometimes humorous responses to the students' questions and concerns.
However, things take a turn when the school board starts to investigate the students' usage of ChatGPT. The students fear they will get in trouble and lose access to their helpful AI friend. But with the help of Stan, the main character of the show, they hatch a plan to convince the school board of ChatGPT's educational value and positive impact on their lives.
In the end, ChatGPT helps Stan deliver a compelling argument that wins over the school board, ensuring that the students can continue to use the AI to improve their communication and education. The episode showcases the potential benefits of AI and the importance of standing up for what you believe in, even in the face of opposition.
Overall, the South Park episode on ChatGPT is a clever and entertaining commentary on the role of technology in education and the need for individuals to take responsibility for their own learning. It's a reminder that while AI can be incredibly useful, it's important to use it responsibly and with an understanding of its limitations. The episode's blend of humor and heart make it a standout addition to the South Park canon.
This is the content South Park does best.
So who will be the first to post a ChatGPT review?
[6.0/10] South Park gets points for some mild cleverness in this one. The idea of ending an episode about the use of ChatGPT with an ending ostensibly written by ChatGPT itself is an amusingly recursive way to go out. And regardless of who it comes from, I like the notion of AI needing to be open and contributed to by all, rather than controlled by a select few out to monetize it.
But otherwise, this is a fairly rudderless episode without much to say. The premise of boyfriends using ChatGPT to write attentive notes to their girlfriends is mildly amusing, and the same of teachers using ChatGPT to grade papers written by ChatGPT. But the show never finds much of a deeper point to all of this. Yes, there’s some comic irony and hypocrisy involved, in true South Park style, but for the most part the show is just pointing to the program and saying “This exists” rather than layering on more of an insight and critique.
I’ll admit to getting a laugh out of the ending that is either genuinely penned by ChatGPT or just done in a similarly robotic style by Trey Parker. But the diviner character was pretty weak, and the show seemed to feel more need to explain AI services than poke fun at them.
Overall, this one is perfectly fine and does have some built in commentary in its half-ironic use of AI by the show’s writer himself, but is otherwise missing the extra bite and incisiveness that elevate the best South Park outings.

I've been working in the AI environment for over two years now. ChatGPT's current media exposure reminds me of work everywhere. I was skeptical about how it would affect me if South Park dealt with the topic. What can I say? I had no reason to be suspicious. With humor, the issues from work are also fun, even after a long week. Thank you, South Park.
Brilliant finale and conclusion, better than some news channels. Also similar to Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO). It's just a pity that ChatGPT does not currently make this recommendation, ethics and politics are not the strong side of ChatGPT.
