It feels like we get rumours of a potential return for Gavin & Stacey every five minutes - but sadly, our screens haven't been graced with a Christmas special since 2019. If only there was a highly sophisticated AI chat bot going viral at the moment, which could write us our very own script for an imaginary 2022 Christmas episode...
If you haven't heard of it already, the OpenAI ChatGPT bot is something of a revelation. Ask the bot to say something, answer a question, or write the script for a conversation, and the bot will deliver. It can have conversations just like a real human, give you personal advice and, crucially, write scripts for episodes of well-loved TV shows.
That means it can tell us what happened on the fishing trip, what happened after Nessa proposed to Smithy, and what Bryn thought of the World Cup. There's a slight stumbling block, though. The bot doesn't really know what Gavin & Stacey is - or at least, it doesn't know much.
