Julia Louis-Dreyfus Uses ChatGPT to Write Hilarious Acceptance Speech at WSJ Innovators Awards

Julia Louis-Dreyfus enlisted the help of artificial intelligence for her final acceptance speech — and the results were hilarious.

While the comedian and actress, 62, took the stage at WSJ. Magazine At the Innovator Awards on Wednesday, as the winner of the evening’s entertainment, she revealed that she used ChatGPT to write her speech.

Not only did the AI ​​chatbot confuse “innovator” with “investor,” it also confused Louis-Dreyfus with fellow actress Julia Roberts and incorrectly named Jaws actor Richard Dreyfuss her grandfather.

Beginning her speech, Louis-Dreyfus told the audience at the Museum of Modern Art that Chat GPT asked her to “include some of Julia’s biography to personalize the remarks.”

“That’s exactly what ChatGPT said,” he began Veep star. “Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests and fellow investors, today is a moment of deep gratitude and reflection for me as I accept the great honor of being named Investor of the Year by the Wall Street Journal.”

“As I reflect on this milestone, I am reminded of the unwavering support of my family and the unwavering commitment of my team who have been the driving force behind my investment strategies and my performance in Erin Brockovichforgive me, i Mystic pizza.”

Julia Louis-Dreyfus reflects on how cancer changed her and why she ‘can’t wait to be 83’

During her November cover interview with the publication to mark her naming as Entertainment Innovator of the Year, the Seinfeld star opened up about her health journey and reflected on learning she had stage two breast cancer, a day after winning her sixth consecutive Emmy in September 2017.

Recalling the moment the doctor called her, Louis-Dreyfus revealed that the first thing she did when she hung up the phone was to laugh.

“I mean, it seemed like it was written. It seemed to me like a terrible black comedy,” she said WSJ. “And then it kind of turned into hysterical crying.”

She continued with her diagnosis: “You just don’t consider it for yourself, you know, that’s the kind of arrogance of human beings. But of course, at some point, we’re all going to bite it.”
