Jesse Eisenberg turned to ChatGPT for tips on surviving his time on “Hot Ones.”
On Thursday’s episode of “Hot Ones,” Eisenberg admitted he turned to AI for advice on how to get through the time on the Spicy Wings interview show. The answer he got upset him a bit – especially since the advice he got felt almost more human than his real wife’s words.
“ChatGPT told me, ‘Be prepared and don’t do anything the day before you shoot the show,'” Eisenberg said. “It said, ‘Take it as your day.’” And I thought, “Oh my god.” It’s too personal, isn’t it? But like last week, when I asked them on Saturday and said, “We’re going to do this on Thursday,” they were like, “I’m going to take Sunday off a little bit, Monday I’m going to work a little harder, and then you can have as much fun as you want on Tuesday, but keep Wednesday for yourself.” ”
He added, “I thought there’s nothing scarier than an AI that’s more human than my wife. She said, ‘I’m not going to let you do what you do. Just keep doing what you have to do. You’re supposed to talk about movies.'”
Eisenberg appeared on the show to promote his new movie, Minions and Monsters, in which he provides the voice of Dort.
The actor has recently returned to the news cycle, but not for a movie he’s scheduled to appear in, but rather one he hasn’t. The trailer for “The Social Network” sequel “Social Reckoning” was released last week, and even though it was already known, people were still missing Eisenberg’s presence as Mark Zuckerberg.
Jeremy Strong will take over the role of Zuckerberg in the sequel, but in an interview with Vanity Fair, Aaron Sorkin, who is not only writing the script for the sequel but also taking over the directorial duties from David Fincher, explained that he tried to convince the “Social Network” actor to reprise his role.
“I felt like it belonged to him, and he was certainly a veteran,” Sorkin said. “He just didn’t want to be confused any more with Mark Zuckerberg. He has a problem with this guy. He didn’t like kids coming up to him at the airport with business cards that said ‘I’m CEO, bitch’ and asking for his autograph.”
