I'll readd my comment from that thread:

This isn't AI generated it was created with some assistance from AI.

They used AI to generate character dialog and voices (easily the worst parts of the video) while the humans guided the plot and picked the lines of dialog that would be used.

The backgrounds were AI generated in collaboration with humans iterating on the prompt and hand selecting the results. The characters were animated traditionally including the intro.

The dialogue seems obviously terrible and especially terrible for what's supposed to be a show with a "dark, surreal humor that satirizes a large range of subject matter". 80% of the discussion involved earnest regurgitation of for-and-against arguments for the use of AI. I presume if AI hadn't been the topic then it would have the characters talk about the merits and drawbacks of mid-range jets for small airlines or similarly exciting topics.

Sounds like more work than making an episode without AI to be honest.

Given that they were originally cranking episodes out in less than a week, yeah probably.

I remember being astonished when their Elian Gonzalez episode aired four days after the raid, directly referencing it.

Take a look at the documentary "Six days to air", where they follow the making of the Human Cent-ipad episode.

I remember the same for the Terri Schiavo fiasco.

They weren't cranking out episodes in a week. They cranked out a single episode that was largely already written and planned in a week.
