YouTube parodies: Fun with generative AI

Posted onNovember 24, 2023November 30, 2025AuthornetjeffLeave a comment

Two creators on YouTube (YT) that I follow (and support) are Kurzgesagt (In a Nutshell) and CGPGrey. I stumbled across this fan made parody, "Every Kurzgesagt Video Ever". In the description on the parody video, the author jokingly wrote, "I'm coming for you next CGPGrey".

Which got me to thinking, I wonder how good generative AI would be at writing the script for a parody of CGPGrey? Here's the same prompt I used for all of them:

Write a script in the style of Youtube creator CGPGrey, that is a a parody of CGPGrey videos.

A couple of them did a pretty good job, one not so much. I've linked their responses, and at the end of this post is a complete copy of each response.

We often see hawks circling, and there's a nest on the other side of the golf course. But this evening one decided to hang out on our gate for a while. I'm pretty sure this is a red-tailed hawk.

A computer built out of dominoes?

In the video below, a team built two computers out of dominoes. The first was capable of adding any two numbers between 0 (zero) and 7 (seven). The second computer they built was capable of adding any two numbers between 0 (zero) and 15 (fifteen).

The computer you are using right now, deep under the covers, does everything in terms of binary addition. What about the other operations you ask? Read More …

Kind of hard to explain, but try to imagine ball bearings that aren't spheres. If you have the slightest interest in engineering or math, definitely worth the 10 minute video.
