I’ve been mad busy lately — planning for SXSW, acting in a couple i-die m-vies, finishing my record — and I’ve found that in my free time, I’ve gravitated toward this AI-generated Family Guy parody on YouTube. It’s live 24/7, there’s usually about 95 people watching at a time, and the prompts are submitted by users who donate. Right now it’s Joe reciting the lyrics to Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt” from his wheelchair while his wife repeatedly says “I want a divorce.” It’s better than actual Family Guy, and it makes me feel like a deeply unwell person in the midst of a nervous breakdown. In other words, it’s exactly how I want to feel. You don’t actually have to watch it, I can keep this ritual to myself, just trying to let the PI community in on how I’m doing.
