What If AI Were My Colleague? A Small Comedy About Context
Sometimes the easiest way to explain an AI interaction is to put another person in the room.
In this sketch, I ask an AI colleague for help writing a script. The first obstacle is not a clever technical problem. It is getting it to remember who it is, what the channel does, and what kind of help I wanted.
That is where the joke starts. I explain the role, wait for something useful, correct what comes back, and eventually reach a result. Then the next greeting seems to put us back at the beginning.
Why the joke feels familiar
The sketch exaggerates the experience, but the friction is recognizable. A request can look obvious to the person making it while leaving out the context another person, or a model, actually needs.
A role is only one piece of that brief. The task, audience, examples, and desired result still matter. Saying “you are a screenwriter” does not explain what makes a script feel like this channel.
Keep the useful brief
One practical response is to save the context that keeps needing explanation. A short channel description, an example script, and a clear request give the next conversation a better starting point.
That does not make the AI a colleague with a human memory. It gives the tool a brief I can inspect and improve.
The video is a comedy sketch rather than a product demonstration or benchmark. If it feels familiar, try writing down the three things you find yourself repeating whenever you ask an AI for help.
