Description
Hi HN! It dawned on me that the latest AI models (Minimax H3 Max / Audio, GPT-6 Luna) can finally recreate the computer from the classic Tim & Eric Celery Man sketch. I spent a few days creating it: it has 100% parity with the original script, plus anything you ask for (doggy woof woof man or potato boy).Happy to answer any questions about the pipeline!
