In the "South Park" episode *Deep Learning* (Season 26, Episode 4), the students at South Park Elementary discover ChatGPT, using it to complete their school assignments and even handle personal communications. Stan learns that Clyde has been using ChatGPT to respond to his girlfriend Bebe’s texts, avoiding emotional work and saying exactly what she wants to hear. Intrigued, Stan starts using ChatGPT to manage his relationship with Wendy, his girlfriend.
Soon, everyone is using the tool for everything from classwork to relationships. However, it quickly becomes clear that relying on AI can lead to ethical dilemmas and unintended consequences, as the students' misuse catches the attention of the school's administration. Mr. Garrison, too, starts using ChatGPT to grade assignments, which leads to a further exploration of AI's role in education and personal life.
The episode is a satirical look at how AI tools like ChatGPT can change interpersonal dynamics and raise ethical questions, especially when people use them to avoid meaningful engagement or responsibility.
