Have you ever stumbled upon the AI-generated “Family Guy” show known as “AI Peter” on YouTube? If not, consider yourself lucky because, according to Kotaku, this automated stream has devolved into a cacophony of chaos that can assault your eardrums and sanity simultaneously. Picture your favorite “Family Guy” characters spewing out gibberish and screaming incessantly at the top of their animated lungs. The stream, which kicked off last June, relies on submissions from viewers to generate AI scripts for continuous episodes of the beloved animated series.
However, some viewers are taking advantage of the generative AI technology in bizarre and unsettling ways. In one clip making the rounds on X, Brian, the Griffin family dog, unleashes an ear-splitting gurgling noise that can make your hair stand on end. In another clip, both Brian and Chris Griffin scream alongside a character listing industrial accidents – a truly surreal and unnerving spectacle that is far from the comedic charm of the original show. It’s no wonder that these exploits, which turn the stream into a chaotic screaming match, are driving viewers away in droves.
One user even admitted to paying $4 to submit a prompt that single-handedly slashed the viewership of the AI “Family Guy” livestream. The reason behind this bizarre behavior lies in the AI Language Model used by “AI Peter.” Special characters in the prompts tend to confuse the system, leading to the creation of nonsensical phonemes and sounds as a response. Characters experiencing a “Stroke” due to prompts containing asterisks or semicolons are just the tip of the iceberg in this virtual mayhem.
Furthermore, users have been known to push the boundaries of the show’s AI systems by requesting characters to narrate explicit sex scenes in excruciating detail or even demanding that they become self-aware within the simulated world. The Discord server associated with the stream reportedly saw heated debates erupting over these controversial prompts, showcasing the extent to which viewers are willing to go to disrupt the AI-generated “Family Guy” experience.
In the end, while the idea of an AI-generated “Family Guy” show may have initially sounded intriguing, the reality has turned out to be a bizarre and chaotic mess that pushes the boundaries of what viewers can endure. Perhaps it’s a cautionary tale of the unpredictable nature of AI technology when placed in the hands of mischief-makers determined to create havoc in the digital realm.
