As someone who has survived numerous viewings of ’50s sitcom reruns and the infamous Tim Burton-directed “Pokémon” movie, I can confidently say that the latest creation by Geddy Ruxpin takes the cake (or should I say, the nightmare fuel?) in terms of unsettling content. The clip, with its disturbingly contorted muppet-like characters and eerie atmosphere, has left me questioning not only my sanity but also the state of artificial intelligence today.
While the advancements in artificial intelligence might still look a bit sluggish in some areas, what with your inhumane hands and body contortions of Olympic breakdancers, there’s one space where it’s ahead of the game: nightmare fuel. After seeing the likes of a “Pokémon” movie directed by Tim Burton, as well as ’50s versions of “The Simpsons” and “Friends,” not a lot of it has made for an enjoyable watch. That makes trying to conjure up a children’s television show an obvious technological no-no. Of course, science fiction stories have shown that we’re going to just do it anyway, which has led us to a grim and unsettling entry from Geddy Ruxpin, which posits a children’s show with puppets in what appears to be a straight-up crime scene. Gather ’round kids. Can you say, “Stephen King?”
The recently released video from the AI enthusiast has a distinctly 1970s style, featuring a puppet reminiscent of Jim Henson’s creations and a host with wild hair. These characters seem to morph in terms of shape, size, and believability as they appear to move around a house that looks like it’s in a war-torn area. Some viewers found the presentation both unsettling and amusing, expressing their thoughts openly. Unfortunately, these comments were generally harsh and negative.
Viewers find compare Geddy Ruxpin videos to fever dreams
Initially garnering over 12,000 likes upon creation, the response to this peculiar piece (I apologize, Geddy) is precisely what one might anticipate. @tommy_bigfoot was left perplexed by the distorted, muppet-like character moving through the sequence, leading him to query his wellbeing with “Once more on a bicycle, I seem to have a fever again?” Simultaneously, @janine.xoxox expressed her disdain bluntly, stating “Oh my goodness, I despise this,” and we suspect she’s not the sole individual feeling that way.
It’s certainly something that’s sticking with us, along with just about every other AI-flavored post that dear Geddy Ruxpin has posted on Instagram. Plenty of other alternate kids television shows are viewable … even though we wish they weren’t, as they all seem to carry the same vibe as “Halloween III: Season of the Witch.” What we would advise is, please don’t show this to your little ones. Like, ever.
