“Who’s Funnier: Humans or AI?” pits real human rappers against machine learning AI in roast-style comedy battles. This month’s issue features rapper Kristen Gonzalez pitted against an AI character who is said to have insulted Mr. Rogers.
The show is built entirely using artificial intelligence across multiple elements. Rich Templeton appears as an artist who does things with AI, and dancing robots A. and I. created by Shubh Panda are also part of the night.
Celebrity judges include Obi O’Brien and Michael Bobenhausen, and the event will be hosted by 99% Invisible and This American Life star Harmon Leung.
The concept has previously been unveiled at venues and festivals such as the Kennedy Center, Los Angeles Ice House, Santa Cruz Comedy Festival, Poptech, and NFT.NYC. The project has also been featured in the New York Times and SiriusXM.
