Artificially Intelligent is a solo musical comedy show created and performed by Greek/Canadian comedian Anesti Danelis, co-directed by Alia Rasul and produced by Anastasios Kounakis. The show follows Anesti as he outsources the writing of his comedy special to ChatGPT, using songs, jokes, and video to explore what is lost when human creativity is handed over to algorithms. Drawing on his experiences growing up in a loud traditional Greek family, navigating queerness, and feeling caught between cultures as a first-generation Canadian, Anesti examines how AI flattens identity and culture. The show features original songs on guitar including Hook Up Murder, Straight Pride, and Grandpa on Grindr.
