The idea started as an experiment: Could AI help me do something completely outside my comfort zone? Like stand up on stage and make people laugh? And somehow, it worked. People actually laughed. Maybe not always where I thought they would, but they laughed. If I survived getting up on stage as a stand-up comedian – what else could AI help me do?
