I should clarify that by "out of ideas", I mean that I've only got enough to last me until the end of March, or maybe the middle of April if lockdown eases. The way I work, that's close enough that I start to get worried.

Google stadia anyone .... in a nutshell machine learning>>>!

"specific and very limited ways"
is this a jab at something political tom? ;)

7:47 "my job will get a lot easier" bud I think your job will get automated rather

I wanna know about Wiga Pier, the RRS Discovery, the Aberfan disaster, the New River, and the post office railway. I hope you actually reconsider and try harder to find a narrative hook.

Jeremy Clarkson's Lottery of Death is something i'd subscribe to Amazon Prime for.

What if one of the ideas it gave you for a video was were you talk about ideas that you can’t do in real life cause they’re fictional so you get an animator’s help to show what you wanna show..

Ai is going to either destroy or advance the world in less than 10 years

The white cube at the edge of the world sounds like an scp

Wigan is in the North West, not West Midlands. A simple google search would have corrected this.

"the strange light that floats over oxfordshire"
the moon: am i a joke to you?

4:49
the ai really reinvented street fighter x tekken

The road that is also a boat: I-90 floating bridge in Seattle.

Tom be soundin' like Mumbo Jumbo bout to give a Slime Block Tutorial

Now it can do my homework!

The strange light the flow over Oxfordshire could be a work as once a Balloon shaped like a TV style UFO flow over north Oxfordshire and many reported it to fox FM at the time. One of those things I partially remember of FOX FM before they sold out they had good trusty local news but we all now media is now brought and not local on Heart FM which now own them.

Should have started the whole video with the script GPT-3 ran for you, Tom!

one of the suggestions were to make a video about the suggestions... AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII lmaoooooo

KIRBY"S DREAMland was a popular nintendo game (serie).

1:03
I'm dying at the bottom one 💀

Wigan is not in the west midlands. how insulting.

That car going past at speed at 7:13 ... Couldn't have been netter timed honestly.

It's a bit disappointing that Kirby's Dreamland in reality is just a muggy patch of English countryside.

7:14 That car in the background had excellent timing. Right on cue

“Nostalgia for things that never existed” Not sure if this has already been said, but how about “Fauxstalgia”?

Was the episode you hadn't released yet at the time "Why Progress Bars Don't Move Smoothly"

Stop forcing cliffs to be cliffs

“I got a bad feeling about this...”

The 7th one is a true tail

e here from jobos channel

WTF YT!

Kirby's Dream

7:15 that timing was just too perfect for the car to pass by. Felt like a crescendo

There's a Portugese word for nostalgia for something that never happened: "saudade". And there's a word for nostalgia for things that did happen, but way before you even existed: "anemoia". E.g. a longing for the 19th century.

So, you essentially ran a random text generator that created thousands of nonsensical titles, then you picked a few that made sense. Congratulations: you came up with a video idea.

The Dream of a Russian Utopia in East Yorkshire sounds like it could be a novel written by the Cambridge 5.

plot twist scott isnt real hes just an ai, this was just him bragging about himself

sounds like nas daily to me

You might find this word interesting then
Anemoia - Nostalgia for a time you’ve never known (from the dictionary of obscure sorrows)
As far as I can tell it’s not a “real” word but hey, all words are made up

If you need more content, make a playlist or a second channel of scripts that AI generates. Even if its not real, I would absolutely watch those videos, and I assume I'm not the only one

7:16 sounds a bit like a cliff that doesn't want to be a cliff

I just wanted to note that the timing of that car with the curve worked really well

Im guessing the AI gave you the idea "The AI that helped me find video titles"

Video ideas:
"The science of diving by 0"
"The things our brain doesn't let us remember"
"An AI made this video" (lots of clickbait)
"When will AI take over the world?"
"Why do we use the Internet?" (human relations and stuff)
"What's the time on Mars?" (a bit out of your normal videos but might be interesting)
"What's the limit of computers?"
"The battle between computers and humans" (about when computers became smarter than humans in terms of cpu power)
"The Pink Lakes of Australia"
Idk if you've made a video of these already but these might be interesting, I hope Tom sees this

This AI is how Trump makes his speeches

A lot of those good-but-fictional video titles sound like ideas for SCPs

Jeremy Clarkson's lottery of death actually sounds like something Jeremy would come up with

NOT-stalgia

5:23 isn’t that deja vu? Or is that a diff thing

Ah yes the infamous Park and Ride System

A guy just talking in one take. No jumpcuts, no three cuts per sentence, just coherent interesting talking. I love it.

"The British Road That Is Also A Boat" ah, a ferry

I would love for you to make a full series of videos in your signature-style, presenting these parallel-world places and events.

"The white cube at the end of the world" sounds like an SCP

4:16
Tom: But I googled those words and they've never been put in that exact order anywhere online.
Library of Babel: Am I a joke to you?

little does the AI know, it just guessed the plot of wandavision

Can we talk about how the AI accidentally created the plot of WandaVision?

Who else is here from Mumbo Jumbo?

I would love to watch “JEREMY CLARKSONS LOTTERY OF DEATH” on Amazon Prime Video

9001st comment

if the thing that you said at the end of the video happends it wont make your job easier it will take your job

tom kirby's dream land is a video game

I'm sure we're not too far off from "generate me a youtube video in the style of Tom Scott" :P

I'm hoping this gets good enough so that we can tell to to finish tv shows that we're cancelled.

Good

“Nostalgia for things that never existed” Not sure if this has already been said, but how about “Fauxstalgia”?

Do you memorize your scripts, do you use a prompter or just improvise?

7:18 that was the most perfectly timed car. It sounded so dramatic

Nostagia for a thing that never existed...
That's Vapourwave.

It's strange the English language lacks a word to describe the feeling of nostalgia for things that aren't real. The closest I can find are words that can't be translated back into English exactly.
"a feeling of longing, melancholy, or nostalgia that is supposedly characteristic of the Portuguese or Brazilian temperament." - Saudade (/souˈdädə/)
However, Saudade is used in relation to a feeling of longing for an absent "something", even if that thing never existed to begin with; such as when you see a painting of someone that seems familiar, and it brings with it the bitter-sweet feeling of having non-existent fond memories, and the knowledge you'll never see them.
It's unlike Anemoia from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, which is just the nostalgia for "When times were better, even if you were never there", it's more like carrying your past emotions with you into the present like a time capsule.
This is the *closest* to what Scott asked, but it still does not feel entirely correct, considering Saudade is a far more blanket term from the melancholy of the past but having hope to experience old joys again in the future, even if it's with someone else.
And then there's Sehnsucht ([ˈzeːnˌzʊxt]), a German noun that expresses the feeling of longing for a "something", and in psychology refers to the idea of craving an alternative experience. However, it's more in line with regret, and thinking of the "Could haves" or "Might dos", instead of having outright nostalgia for a thing gone by. The experience of Sehnsucht is more easily expressed as "What if I said yes?" or having fantastical ideas about the future, such as imagining ones self as famous, or a fated meeting of a true love, or even the idea of finding something new to make you happy.

It feels almost natural to explain the feeling of nostalgia for things not experienced as "Agnostalgia", from ágnos/άγνωσ meaning "Unknown", and álgos/ἄλγος meaning "Pain", similar to the origin of Nostalgia.

2:10 Everything is gray.

I think you ought to make one of the fictional ones as an April fools video.

Make a separate channel with all the fictional ideas that GPT-3 made up if possible. They would be extremely interesting and would be very entertaining.

written by a bot

Haha, English people call that a “beach”

hiraeth
welsh for nostalgic feeling for a home that was never yours

There is this cliff that looks like an elephant. I think he's the closest we get to cliff that doesn't want to be a cliff

Nostalgia for a thing that never existed
"Country Roads", especially the Japanese translation

aberfan would be incredibly depressing but there is *definitely* a narrative there

@5:21 hauntology.

I like the comparison to a sigmoid curve (an activation function that’s also commonly used in neural networks like GPT-3)

Nostalgia for things that never existed, eh? Weebs unite.

Why do your videos have to be about things that are true? I'd watch a "secret history of the British moon landing" video. Heck, I'd watch a full length documentary.

I imagine if anything, the word we could use for nostalgia of an alternative reality could be “alternis ovilis” which would roughly translate from Latin to “alternative nostalgia” I guess that’s more of a phrase than a word.

Skynet

Dude, you're reverse aging! Make a reveal video talking about how you're actually a vampire! 😆

Tom is getting replaced.

"The green death and the industrial revolution." ...Arsenic Wallpaper?

If that happens your job will be not easier but obsolete.

The word is nullstalgia.

"The British road that is also a boat"
There are streets named after Hood and Anson in Hastings. You think they'd be named after the admirals, but two of the neighbouring streets are Norfolk and Sussex. Turns out they're all named for battleships named after the admirals. Huh.
Not boats, but sailors:
there's a town in Canada (Ajax, Ontario) that names its streets after men who served on three WW1 ships. There was a big hoo-hah over it in 2020 when the name Hans Langsdorff (captain of the Graf Spee) somehow came up in the database.

"Hey GPT-3. How can I ensure the success of the GPT-3 project?"
Anyone read Avogadro Corp?

there is 100% a boat that’s a road you gotta find it

hey Tom, have you ever counted in binary on your fingers?

Well, your job might get a lot easier... but then, a bit after that, your job won't be needed... :-P
*Singularity*

anemoiac is the "nostalgia for nonexistant past" word your looking for

English but all letters are phonetically consistent

This video was somehow not tagged as horror.

It's cool how you can raise the "temperature" of the "how predictable" to make "good" interesting video titles that would get more clicks than "the beach where you can hear the sea", but if it is too high, it's actually not real and relatable enough to makes us want to watch it, and as you said, you needed to get the right measure, like a recipe to make a clickable title.
-Who would like to watch Jeremy Clarkson's in a russian roulette?-
This shows us that we are strange creatures, searching for knowledge yet afraid of the unreal and unknown.

For reference, the "strange light in the sky over Oxfordshire" is called the moon.
