Can AI ever actually be funny? In this episode, host Charles sits down with actor and internet comedian Michael Zois to dig into why machines keep failing the vibe check. From awkward punchlines to hallucinated “facts,” they break down the gap between computational pattern-matching and human comedic instinct.
The conversation quickly widens into the bigger, messier questions behind AI’s rise:
- What happens when algorithms begin replacing creative work?
- Why are writers disappearing faster than coders?
- How much AI-generated content is quietly plagiarized?
- And what happens to society when automation advances faster than people can adapt?
Charles and Michael trade stories from media, marketing, and healthcare—everything from AI inventing fake historical events to the surge of mediocre generative content flooding social feeds. They explore why audiences are suddenly gravitating toward unfiltered, human-first creators, and why authenticity is becoming the last scarce resource in an automated world.
They also look ahead: the economic fallout of rapid automation, the future of work, the bizarre trend of AI-invented recipes, and how far machine intelligence could push into fields like medicine. The question isn’t whether AI will reshape culture—it’s whether it can do so without hollowing it out.
If you care about comedy, creativity, or the future of human jobs, this episode pulls no punches.
