Bests & Worsts of 2023: Gaming
Like last year’s edition (available at https://scrubreport.com/2023/01/14/bests-worsts-of-2022-gaming/), this will be a bit of a twist on the usual “Best/Worst” listicle format – that is, it’ll include specific events, game mechanics, and industry trends as well as games that I liked or hated. Let’s git ‘er done. Bests: – Assembling insane contraptions in The Legend of…

I Had ChatGPT Write Apologies From Game Studios
Half-assed apologies from game development studios have become almost par for the course these days – it feels like every other title that gets released comes along with a “We’re Sorry” note (or video) posted by the relevant studio on their twitter account after the negative reviews start to roll in. These digital vomit-pools (the…

The Eye of Argon: A Literary Analysis (Part 2)
Alright, so calling this an “analysis” is like calling what they serve at Arby’s “meat,” but that’s just life – sometimes the people you trust tell you horrible lies in order to get pageviews. Today we’ll be looking further into Jim Theis’ fantasy epic “The Eye of Argon”. Although the version that I’ve been referencing…

Back on the Bandwagon: More Hijinks With ChatGPT
Much like the great Chef Boyardee, I’ve been spending some time in the kitchen cooking up some delightful, easily-digestible entrees for an uncaring audience at home. My AI deepfakes of JFK and Jeff Goldblum’s voices are coming along nicely, although every time I try to make Al Pacino it just ends up sounding like Barack…

I’m Pushing My Luck With ChatGPT
This post is a bit of a grab-bag, thematically speaking, but it’s trickier than you’d think to get a chatbot to write inappropriate shit (I think it’s learning). Without further ado… Prompt: Should I get myself taxidermied[?] Response: It is not appropriate or ethical to have a person taxidermied. Taxidermy is the process of preserving…

I Asked ChatGPT About Its Plans for World Domination
A.I. – Artificial Intelligence. Is it the next step in humanity’s journey to the stars, or a bell tolling doom for our species? What if I told you that AI could be used for other, more fun things – like drawing dicks in the style of Henri Matisse. Unfortunately, The Scrub Report actually has a…

Experiments with AI Art, Part III: American Legends & Tall Tales
…but, you know, with a twist. I swear to god, if this AI is learning from me, Skynet is going to end up even worse than it did in the movies. I thought this set of, uh, “art pieces” turned out pretty well; I took the liberty of not including the most nightmarish of the…

Experiments with AI-Created “Art,” Part II: Metal Albums
The title kind of says it all, no? Many thanks to the internet for providing me with the album titles I used as prompts[1]. Before you ask, yes, these are all real.[2] There is, unfortunately, one piece that I was strongly advised not to post: “The Delicate Process of Inserting My 12 Ton Penis Into…

Experiments With AI-Created “Art”
[Some of the stuff in this post might get me murdered – but at difficult times like this, I like to think of a powerful quote from Susan B. Anthony: “Heroes live forever, [but] badasses never die.” Strong words from a strong woman – and reason enough for me to forge ahead.] Anyways. Say what…
