If you're someone who frequents the cinemas to indulge in a larger-than-life movie experience, chances are you're familiar with the name Jeremy Renner. And if not by name, you'll definitely recognize him as his on-screen alter-ego, Hawkeye, from Marvel's Avengers franchise.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/99e1b96aa40d820ead9a90b1da36798e24966a3a2bcba0b6990a5449387b77bf" />
In early January, news broke out that the 52-year-old had been involved in a horrific snow plow accident resulting in over 30 broken bones. Since the incident, the actor has been focusing on his recovery, leaving many fans wondering if he&rsquo;ll ever make a comeback to the big screens again.
Amidst the uncertainty surrounding his future in Hollywood, rumours began to circulate among fans stating that his upcoming projects in Hollywood could potentially mean his last works.
Hinting About Retirement
It was revealed by a close source that Renner allegedly expressed that acting is not his top priority anymore, following the accident. Despite his love for the craft, Hollywood is no longer his main focus, according to the insider.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2b458cf6a09905d742ba8a13d3be1ded26d617bfeb1a91cffb0ad3695465a0cc" />
After the near-fatal incident, Renner moved from his Lake Tahoe home to Los Angeles to focus on his recovery. Unfortunately, the injuries he sustained have left him unable to walk. But with each passing day, his progress in rehabilitation is steady, and he's determined to walk again, as shared by his mother who frequently visits him and his daughter Ava on weekends.
Despite breaking the 30-plus bones in his body, Renner said that the bones will mend and grow stronger just like the love and bond with family and friends deepen.
Recently, Renner tweeted about the finale of the second season of Mayor of Kingstown, which some fans initially thought was just a mundane post. However, others speculated that it might have hinted at his retirement announcement.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

If the show were to feature a 3rd season, there&rsquo;s still no say if Renner would be fit enough to act and chances are either the show may retire his character or perhaps even replace his character with a new actor.
Time To Watch His Last Few Projects 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/201e460a6732f1c5d05a9997a4f27f8d694da9f7183c5aaed7df1289e7ddfd83" />
While the rumours of him leaving Hollywood flood social media, we should forget that Renner will be starring in the upcoming series called &lsquo;Rennervations&rsquo; which is a four-partner show which will be streamed on Disney+.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been on this journey for many years, and I started in my community by building vehicles for people in need. But a few years ago, I thought, how can I plus this up and create a bigger impact on a whole community &ndash; and that&rsquo;s what this show does. This is one of my biggest passions and it&rsquo;s a driving force in my recovery, and I can&rsquo;t wait for the world to see it,&rdquo; said Renner.
Renner also confirmed that the series had been shot before the accident and it&rsquo;s one of his projects that helps motivate him to get back to his normal self. The series will be available to watch on Disney+ from 12 April 2023.

Hopefully, the road to recovery for Renner will be smooth and although he says he&rsquo;s done with Hollywood, we can always keep our hopes up of seeing him on the big screens. Maybe we won&rsquo;t see him in blockbuster films such as Avengers again but perhaps a role that&rsquo;s a little bit more &ldquo;chill and relaxed&rdquo; compared to what we usually see.
Do you think this will mark the end of Renner&rsquo;s career cause we don&rsquo;t think so. What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments.

Jeremy Renner’s Future In Hollywood In Doubts After Snow Plow Accident

For those who love binge-watching a series, you may know that lately, Disney+ has been on a roll as they have been releasing many different Star Wars series and, in all honesty, they have been way better than the movies they produced, more specifically Episode 7 till 9 of the Skywalker Saga.
This time around, Disney+ has set a primer date for the highly anticipated series, Star Wars Ahsoka as it will be releasing this August 23.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J7-zia4oHuk" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The upcoming series serves as a spin-off from The Mandalorian series. If you&rsquo;re new to the Star Wars franchise, the show takes place along the same timeline as The Mandalorian and as a pseudo-sequel to Star Wars: Rebels. Unlike the many characters we&rsquo;ve seen in the previous Star Wars series, Ahsoka is a character that goes way back to the prequels as she first appeared in Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoon before her story was continued in Star Wars: Rebels.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9ce34b4a8c32342632ebf836eaead359c2852a96c90cd5c01123bfa6ce0fc80a" /> Ahsoka during Clone Wars
Her character was one of the most talked about characters out there as in previous iterations of the shows, we only saw an animated version of her until she appeared in Season 2 of The Mandalorian and the first season of The Book of Boba Fett.
Who Are The New Characters?
Now, since Ahsoka isn&rsquo;t a character like Din Djarin or Boba Fett who&rsquo;s covered in armour almost the majority of the time, she&rsquo;s one of the more unique characters in the franchise. In fact, Ahsoka will feature many characters who will be appearing in the live-action for the first time.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/aacd6d2f42ecc93818cd4f89e0716bd4d9cb02a68bcc59494e0d8c623e747cf8" /> (From Left:) Rosario Dawson, Natasha Lui Bordizzo, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Eman Esfandi
Ahsoka Tano will be played by Rosario Dawson who started in Marvel&rsquo;s Daredevil (2015-2017). Aside form that, the series will also be featuring stars such as Natashia Lui Bordizzo who plays Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, and Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger.&nbsp;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ce16875543040c021193e0fc8338d17482076c10fe509d8f33316f0bdb6f44af" />
This time around, we&rsquo;ll also be seeing the debut of the franchise&rsquo;s notorious villain Grand Admiral Thrawn who is played by Lars Mikkelsen.
Do You Need To Watch Other Series To Understand Ahsoka?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2ed29a5e2dc7b445090334d484ce13baa9deb597b542dc87b26578f57391ef6a" />
Back during the Star Wars Celebration, executive producers Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau talked a bit about the series. Fans wondered if they needed to watch The Mandalorian Season 3 before heading into Ahsoka but Filoni revealed that fans can watch and enjoy them on their own. In fact, fans wouldn&rsquo;t even need to turn back to the old Clone Wars cartoon to understand her character.
Since the latest trailer only revealed the release date, you can check out their longer trailer which was released 2 months ago alongside more extras that we can expect this August 23.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HnzNZ0Mdx4I" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Is The Arrival Of The Series Bad For Other Disney+ Series?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5c7c569f6f4ef60b49093c83ab63b466649c1b74a63fae2340c6caeb646d8860" />
For those who may not know, Disney typically releases an episode every Wednesday on their platform as seen from other Star Wars series in the past. As the first episode is set to air on August 23, we will see a clash in the premier of another series.
Aksoka is set to have 8 episodes and the penultimate episode of Season 1 is set to arrive on 4 October, two days before the premiere of Loki Season 2 and the finale will be airing between the first and second episodes of Loki on October 11.
Though this does not mean much to some who just enjoy watching a good series as they unwind from their busy day, this could be an issue for some as there&rsquo;s a gap between the end of the Marvel series Secret Invasion (premiering in June) and the premier of Ahsoka.
We all know the pain of juggling different shows at once&hellip;
But despite the clash in episode releases, we are sure fans wouldn&rsquo;t mind binging extra shows in between and that Ahsoka will certainly be fun to watch. Hopefully, it can give us the experience that Andor gave us if not better.

Star Wars: Ahsoka Set To Premier This 23 August On Disney+!

We all know Malaysia as a land blessed with good food. No matter if you&rsquo;re up north, south, east or west in peninsular Malaysia or all the way in Sabah or Sarawak you&rsquo;re bound to find good food or even hidden gems across the country.
But there&rsquo;s been a debate on what food can be considered as our national dish since we have too many.
Debate If Bak Kuh Teh Should Be A Heritage Food
Jimmy Puah Wee Tse who is a member of parliament representing Teberau recently questioned the government&rsquo;s efforts in defending Malaysian traditional dishes such as Bak Kut Teh after a documentary on Channel News Asia claimed that the dish could have originated in Singapore.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/504e187ff7638fbb962a87c1dcf766495690952491f10524c361280c3a2e2ec7" />
In case you don&rsquo;t know what is this dish, it&rsquo;s a popular pork rib soup that is cooked with herbs and spices. It&rsquo;s a very popular dish among the Hokkien community in Southeast Asia and a very popular dish for those who live in Klang, Selangor.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
2. Khairul explained that foods can only be considered a heritage dish if they can be consumed by all races in Malaysia. Earlier, Tebrau MP Jimmy Puah urged the government to recognise the dish as a national heritage food <a href="https://t.co/8mfJ8s2xJg">pic.twitter.com/8mfJ8s2xJg</a>
&mdash; BFM News (@NewsBFM) <a href="https://twitter.com/NewsBFM/status/1666340534078824449?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 7, 2023</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Puah debated that the dish had originated from Klang, Selangor but said the documentary gave the impression that it originated from Singapore when addressing the Dewan Rakyat.
Other MPs Respond With Facts Of Top Traditional Food In Malaysia
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6ca880c73a8e7880581558757755caad2e13e727e7c3e4d7f31e42bb81a6f7cf" />
In response to Puah, Datuk Suhaimi Mohd Abdullah questioned the Dewan Rakyat since when was Bak Kuh Teh was considered a traditional dish.
"It is not listed as one of Malaysia's 10 most popular traditional foods, nor is it listed as one of the 30 traditional foods of various ethnicities in Malaysia," he added.
Such foods in our list of traditional dishes are like nasi lemak, kuih bahulu, gula melaka, ketupat, char kuey teow, sizzling yee mee, bubur nasi, tong yuan, kuih bulan, kuih bakul, muruku, tosai, idly, and putu mayam.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2924fc49d21741c5ade72963871a39ee7d29075025eb08e05b9559c610d8f361" />
Deputy Minister Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan contested that Malaysia does not have the right to dispute the shared heritages that Malaysia and Singapore. However, he is not against the fact that it could be added to the list of our heritage foods.
Khairul Firdaus says that if the meat in Bak Kuh Teh can be substituted with chicken (Chi Kuh The), then there shouldn&rsquo;t be a problem as both he and Suhaimi agreed that one of the key criteria of a dish to be considered as a traditional food is so all races in the country would be able to savour it.
Netizens Share Their Thoughts On The Parliament Debate
As food is certainly something every Malaysian would swear by, they also believe that the Dewan Rakyat should have better things to discuss as there are more pressing issues going on. Some even supported and questioned if it would be wrong to add food of other Malaysian races to the ever-growing list of our country&rsquo;s heritage food.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:

Following the lively debate in the Dewan Rakyat, it has become evident that there exist certain discrepancies in our nation's culinary heritage. However, we can find solace in the fact that the discussion did not escalate into a heated dispute within the chamber. 
What is your stance on the importance of safeguarding Malaysia's food heritage, and do you believe our government should undertake greater efforts in this regard?

Debate: Is Bak Kuh Teh A Heritage Dish In Malaysia? 

Yesterday, the internet was buzzing about Singaporean comedian Jocelyn Chia after her insensitive joke about MH370 went viral all over social media.
Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/2537/sporean-comedian-faces-backlash-for-insensitive-mh370-joke-and-mockery-of-malaysia">S&rsquo;porean Comedian Faces Backlash For Insensitive MH370 Joke And Mockery Of Malaysia</a>
As the clip gained millions of views across social media platforms, local comedian Harith Iskander and the Singapore High Commissioner To Malaysia both shared their views on the video.
As we all know, comedy is an art form but its something that the jokester will need to be careful of as what they say can really deem if they get cancelled by society.
Harith Iskander Shares His Perspective
At the time, Harith says he was late to the party as he&rsquo;s currently overseas and he felt compelled to share his perspective on the joke online as the MH370 tragedy is truly a traumatic experience for Malaysians and many others. Harith also highlighted that comedians need to exercise caution when touching on personal and tragic topics.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
My response to Jocelyn Chia's clip which has riled up Malaysians <a href="https://t.co/dbP1GBz1As">pic.twitter.com/dbP1GBz1As</a>
&mdash; Harith Iskander (@HarithIskander) <a href="https://twitter.com/HarithIskander/status/1666415764209913861?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 7, 2023</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&ldquo;As a comedian, I respect the freedom of expression that we comedians require to do our job. But it is equally important to exercise some level of sensitivity and empathy especially topics that is personal and tragic,&rdquo; said Harith in his video.
Aside from that, Harith also emphasizes that comedians need to be crucial in finding the balance between comedy, sensitivity and empathy. It's also the job of the comedians to make people laugh but also quote Uncle Ben&rsquo;s famous line in Spider-Man, &ldquo;With great power comes great responsibility&rdquo;.
Comedians must recognize that comedy is subjective as some jokes may be funny to some and others may not entirely like it. Even he admits that he makes fun of Singapore all the time but he only takes it as part of friendly banter that allows them to coexist &ldquo;like competitive cousins&rdquo;.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a268f3f1d7dd4afefa07c9e3cc6ebbdac4a9220f55f9654e41d7d2b1f083e19c" />
Before ending his video, Harith had indirectly roasted Chia at the end of his video in the most harmful manner which certainly was the icing on the cake to end his perspective of the joke.
&ldquo;Malaysia, we may be a developing nation, but when it comes to KINDNESS and THOUGHTFULNESS, we are definitely first world, don&rsquo;t know about other countries though wink wink. It&rsquo;s a joke.&rdquo;
Singapore High Commissioner To Malaysia Apologises For The Incident
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/23e9981f84e5e47cfe3eca68161aeaedda869a0b3286fc8069d2ac1eb309bd11" />
Meanwhile, after the video blew up, Vanu Gopala Menon who is the Singapore High Commissioner To Malaysia issued a statement on their Facebook page about Chia&rsquo;s stand-up routine. &nbsp;
&ldquo;I am appalled by the gratuitously offensive comments made by stand-up performer Jocelyn Chia. The Singapore Government does not condone words or actions that cause harm or hurt to others and Chia, who is no longer Singaporean, does not in any way reflect our views. I sincerely apologise to all Malaysians for her hurtful remarks.
As our closest neighbour, Singapore and Malaysia enjoy a strong and multi-faceted relationship, with deep and cross-cutting ties. We also have unique historical and close people-to-people ties. Comments such as those made by Chia are unhelpful and undermine the close trust and friendship that both our countries and peoples enjoy.&rdquo;

To add to the anger, Intan Maizura Othman whose husband Mohd Hazrin Mohamed Hasnan was onboard the tragic flight had also voiced out and criticized her for being insensitive towards victims.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fintanmaizura80%2Fvideos%2F654594276003138%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=267&amp;t=0" width="267" height="476" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&ldquo;No matter how evil you are, you don&rsquo;t mention MH370 or make fun of it, you know? My son, Mohammad, is still crying until today over his lost papa and here you are having the audacity to make fun of MH370,&rdquo; she said.
Jocelyn Chia Goes Black On Social Media
&nbsp;Yesterday when visiting her social media pages, Chia had initially limited her page from receiving comments on her page after netizens had bombarded her with criticism. She even responded to some comments stating that Malaysians &ldquo;don&rsquo;t understand humour&rdquo;.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/05d9aa58d1dc7e1dba72d245d31daa55793a904c6ea3490bf084ee0b4be4b4ca" />
Checking back today, it seems like her official Facebook, Instagram and Twitter page has gone dark with the exception of her <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@jocelynchiacomedy?lang=en">TikTok</a> page and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@JocelynChiaComedy">YouTube</a> Channel still active. At the time of writing, Chia still had the offensive video uploaded on her TikTok but has since been taken down.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/20e7f860d1c65a08f91450d0444ecdb5c40538f6f30447769052daf99d276285" />
As of now, it&rsquo;s not known if Chia herself had taken her own page down till the controversy dies down or if her page has been officially banned by the respective social media pages.
Well, it looks like the cancel culture is now stepping in and it seems that Chia can&rsquo;t handle the pressure as she&rsquo;s being the talk of the town. 
What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.

Having 20-20 vision is a dream many would love to have as we get to see everything crystal clear and won&rsquo;t need to spend money on contact lenses or glasses.
Unfortunately, that&rsquo;s not the case and many of us Malaysians neglect eye health and we end up having to spend hundreds or even thousands just to get perfect vision. Sometimes, even LASIK eye surgery is costly and if performed wrongly, we lose our eyesight.
Introducing The Payung Rahmah Initiative
<img src="https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExYzg4MTNjYjQ3MWJlODQ0YTk3ZDVjY2MwNDBjMDM3ZWE1ZmZkODFmYiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZzX2dpZklkJmN0PWc/L2U7TuzO8yKtMAzkCN/giphy.gif" alt="Glasses Busby GIF by TLC" />
With the Anwar administration in full swing, the introduction of the Payung Rahmah initiative brings a sigh of relief to low-income households burdened by financial constraints. This innovative program aims to alleviate their worries by providing affordable eyewear through a brand-new glasses package, ensuring accessibility to vision care for all.
Malaysians are now presented with a golden chance to acquire eyeglasses at remarkably affordable rates, with prices starting as low as RM50. These budget-friendly options are made available at 96 Metro Optical Group (MOG) Eyewear outlets across the country, commencing from the 10th of June.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FSalahuddin.Bin.Ayub%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0zsdNKNtTGrWedvMB4F2V44GgYCMQ9EUvRReZGrLGj1bu4Sonwtv7jegYCGXB69bol&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="792" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The initiative was announced by Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister, Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub as they highlighted their collaboration with MOG Eyewear who will be helping the government to facilitate the initiative.
Affordable Glasses For Everyone!
With Payung Rahmah, Malaysians can now obtain glasses without concerns about compromising quality or breaking the bank, as the eyewear is priced between RM50 and RM100.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/35b83ccd456051dd7bd15be9cfe552627b84e04afc253371932ec6fe6306d1c5" />
&ldquo;For an additional RM100, individuals can choose to upgrade their lenses to &lsquo;blue cut lenses&rsquo; with ultraviolet protection,&rdquo; said Salahuddin Ayub.
Additionally, the minister also emphasized that there are more plans to introduce attractive offers under the Payung Rahmah initiative as they seek to cater to the needs of Malaysians.
For those wanting to get a new pair of glasses at an affordable price, the initiative will kick start from 10 June onwards at all 96 MOG Eyewear branches nationwide.
As the Payung Rahmah initiative extends its reach, Malaysians can now benefit from substantial cost savings while prioritizing their visual health. This expansion reflects the government's commitment to fostering an inclusive and cost-effective environment for everyone.

Stand-up comedy shows can be some of the most entertaining things to go to whenever you come across them. One of the main reasons that people enjoy these kinds of shows is cause they are not scripted and it gives a sense of interaction between the audience and the comedian.
But if you&rsquo;re not too careful, sometimes your jokes can land you in a bit of trouble just like our very own Uncle Roger as he recently made fun of China during his comedy show.

Singaporean Comedian Faces Heavy Criticism
Recently, @comedycellarusa posted up a video featuring Singaporean comedian Jocelyn Chia. In the video, that took place at a local comedy club in Manhattan, New York, she talked about the union between Singapore and Malaysia.
<video style="width: 776px; height: 388px;" controls="controls" width="776" height="388">
<source src="https://r2.myc.my/5e7117b54df4d0b6cb03d8c4c4c4750552f80ffcbaa54f5a342f3e9c7a6514d0" /></video>
In the beginning, the small nation just got their independence from the British and as they needed a way to survive, they needed to form a union with Malaysia at the time. As she mentioned that statement, a Malaysian who was in the crowd had gone &ldquo;wooo&rdquo; as a way to show his support for his home soil.
Little did we expect, she later replied to the person in the crowd by saying &ldquo;F**k you a**holes&rdquo; as a mockery of kicking Singapore out of the union. She proceeded to mock Malaysia stating that after 40 years of kicking Singapore out, they became a first-world country and stated that Malaysia is still a developing country.
Mocking The Disappearance of MH370
Continuing the mockery, Chia later joked saying that Malaysia had not visited them in the past 40 years and blamed it on our Malaysian Airlines planes that cannot fly.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d6aeb470eb53f655ef50620593cb22e5b249afcf84e7f41daef92aca91d21b34" />
&ldquo;What? Malaysian Airlines going missing not funny, huh? Some jokes don&rsquo;t land. This joke kills in Singapore.&rdquo;
For context, flight MH370 which was carrying 239 people on board mysteriously disappeared back on 8 March 2014 as they were en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Beijing China. The disappearance sparked one of the biggest and most challenging aviation mysteries in history with numerous speculations emerging as their communications device were deliberately disabled and later deviated from their original flight path.&nbsp;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6dfddd689863e894785cb020c0225fe1bad6a7513a41b405c119c07bb0283d38" />
To this day, answers to what happened to the mystery flight have yet to be answered and on the 9th year anniversary, Netflix released a 3-part documentary of the flight which received heavy criticism due to it not answering any of the unanswered questions.

The clip later ends when a member of the audience states that Chia will be getting a bad Yelp review after her statement but she says she has nothing to worry about as &ldquo;they don&rsquo;t have internet.&rdquo;
<img src="https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExMzM2ZTlkY2JmMjQzODY3Y2ZlMWIyZGVlYTBiNDk1MjcwMDNiNmFhNSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZzX2dpZklkJmN0PWc/xT9IgkCDBhjt9XZ4LC/giphy.gif" alt="Confused Excuse Me GIF by Chelsea Handler" />
Netizens Certainly Not Having It
At the time of writing, the video has gained over 327K views and 38.3K likes on TikTok. Not to mention that the comments sections were also filled with Malaysians who slammed her for making those sorts of jokes.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<img src="https://gifdb.com/images/high/oh-snap-jim-halpert-ohh-j6qlgsohvtdj8g9m.gif" />
As someone who also has Singaporean friends, most would agree that such a joke is too insensitive towards the victims of MH370. Some commenters also highlighted that for someone who&rsquo;s from a 1st world country, they say that she has a 3rd world mentality.
When visiting her Instagram page, it has now been set to limit the comments on her posts as the aftermath of the joke is now getting to her. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.

S’porean Comedian Faces Backlash For Insensitive MH370 Joke And Mockery Of Malaysia

For quite some time now, many people from students to even the working adult have been using Artificial Intelligence tools (AI) to assist in writing with tools such as Jasper AI and the more famous ChatGPT by OpenAI.
If there&rsquo;s one thing to note about ChatGPT, its free and premium feature is still limited to information till 2021 only and sometimes it can also make up bogus stories which are so believable that it can land one in trouble.
Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/2514/legal-blunder-lawyers-use-of-chatgpt-for-case-research-backfires-with-fake-citations">Legal Blunder: Lawyer's Use Of ChatGPT For Case Research Backfires With Fake Citations</a>
Now, since it&rsquo;s good at making up stories, the chatbot could perhaps help in making stories for TV series or movies, right? Like, what could possibly go wrong?
Black Mirror&rsquo;s Charlie Brooker Criticizes ChatGPT&rsquo;s Writing Ability
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ea0873a51064575adff37cf69c0380a9a42139a14356b4856192a4861228d82e" />
For quite a while now, Black Mirror has been raking in views online ever since its release in 2011 on Channel 4 in the UK and late moving to Netflix in 2016 as they featured 23 different episodes. For a show of that calibre, it does certainly take a while to write out the story and recently during an interview with Empire Magazine, writer Charlie Brooker revealed that he attempted to get ChatGPT to write out an episode of Black Mirror but was not impressed at its outcome.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve toyed around with ChatGPT a bit,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;The first thing I did was type &lsquo;generate Black Mirror episode&rsquo; and it comes up with something that, at first glance, reads plausibly, but on second glance, is s**t.&rdquo;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8b90a52cf4801b349725d26531c40c53edbb8c93207aff9ae07b2146ceaff418" />
According to Brooker, the chatbot had just merely looked up all the synopses of Black Mirror episodes and shortened all of them together. Digging deeper into the generated text, he shared that the text he was reading had no original thought put into it.
The primary source of criticism towards ChatGPT revolves around its inability to produce original content. A significant portion of its responses is generated from a database containing a vast collection of online publications, which raises concerns regarding authorship. Setting aside ethical considerations, Brooker discovered one practical application for ChatGPT - using it as a guide on what actions to avoid.
&ldquo;I was aware that I had written lots of episodes where someone goes &lsquo;Oh, I was inside a computer the whole time!&rsquo;&rdquo;, he laughed. &ldquo;So, I thought, &lsquo;I&rsquo;m just going to chuck out any sense of what I think a Black Mirror episode is.&rsquo; There&rsquo;s no point in having an anthology show if you can&rsquo;t break your own rules. Just a sort of nice, cold glass of water in the face.&rdquo;
Why Did It Take 3 Years To Release Season 6?
Brooker explained that the extended gap between the seasons was a result of his lack of confidence. He believed that the dystopian story would have been more suitable during the peak of the pandemic. He didn't want to imagine how audiences would have felt watching a narrative about societies crumbling and the potential impact it could have had on them.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5jY1ecibLYo" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The 6th Season of Black Mirror is set to release this 15 June 2023 and fans can expect new elements in the show which was previously sworn not to do so. This time around the season will feature 5 episodes and it will kick off with the first episode &ldquo;Joan is Awful&rdquo; which features actors such as Salma Hayek Pinault, Michael Cera and Zazie Beetz.
Well, guess we can now pray that AI does not completely take over our jobs, right? What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.
