As of late 2025, generative AI boasted incredible lip-syncing and physics, making it nearly indistinguishable from reality—if not for the persistent, frequent hallucinations.
Our first winner in the “Professor Teaches AI” contest goes to The AI Network a 3 minute satirical video of a fledgling network trying to make the big-time.
The proposed network lineup for 2026 includes:
- AI Dance Night
- AI Bounty Hunter
- The Glads
- Grok and Family
- Budget AI
- The AI Slop Show
- AI Shadow Puppets
- 1957 – A Year of Great Discovery
Open
Thank you, Professor.
Memorable lines include “We come to bury these fine young men whose shiny futures were surely cut off. ‘Snake-eye’ Johnson’s been rustling cattle round these parts for years. We all knew him. He was one of us. And ‘Dirtbag’ Hollister robbed his first bank at 14. Made this town real proud, he did.” – AI Bounty Hunter
Having just discovered the storytelling capabilities of the smart watch, the Professor prompts with “Tell me about a year of great discovery.” Expecting something like “1492“, he instead ends up with “1957“.
