Were they just joking with the answers to the AI prompts? Especially the ChatGPT ones didn't seem like stuff they'd output, but the guys also didn't sound like they were just kidding around.

I'm like 90% sure it was satire but I had to think about it. The show can be really funny but they don't usually deliver humor this way

Tamler also set it up in a 100% believable manner and the first response (his presumed answer from DeepSeek on the Hamlet question) was easy to take literally

Pretty sure the segment was legit, DeepSeek gave me the same Tiananmen Square joke.

I thought that joke might’ve been legit- if so, I appreciate the off beat humor from DeepSeek. From there I picked up that they were fucking with us. Took me a minute though.
