- The 4th episode of the 26th season of “South Park” revolves around the artificial intelligence ChatGPT.
- In the episode’s plot, the AI writes the students’ essays – and teachers use them to correct them.
- The highlight: Parts of the screenplay for the successful cartoon series were also written by ChatGPT.
“South Park” is once again in tune with the times: With ChatGPT, the clever cartoon satire once again takes up a topic that is of great concern to the world public. After all, artificial intelligence can write almost any text – and the excesses of this practical innovation are turning life in Colorado’s most famous village upside down.

Or rather: ChatGPT suddenly automates all forms of paperwork and written communication. While the students use the AI to create their school essays, the teachers consult the lightning-fast AI to correct them. Interpersonal relationships are also handled largely without human involvement using AI-generated text messages.
“South Park” genius Trey Parker fools the audience
At first it seems as if “South Park” is working surprisingly well on the much-discussed dangers of artificial intelligence. However, the real highlight only becomes apparent in the credits: The screenplay for the ChatGPT episode was written by the AI itself – with the data input by “South Park” inventor Trey Parker.
