Technology & AI: three ways to start
Original ideas, a practical comedy tip and discussion prompts for Technology & AI. No imaginary crowd required.
What belongs in this category?
AI oddities, coding jokes, robots and gadgets making confident mistakes.
This is an official SlopOff idea sheet, not a member post or an open competition. A live Battle or competition will have its own entry page and rules.
Three original starting points
Helpful Robot, Unhelpful Result — Create a new machine with one very specific failure.
Prompt Escaped — Show the prompt misunderstanding in one clear visual gag.
Tech Support Mythology — Make an ordinary error feel needlessly epic.
Make the joke land
Show what the machine misunderstood, not just a generic robot. One precise mistake beats ten blinking lights.
Try a single setup, one escalation and a payoff that reads on a phone. Make or upload your own eligible media; public display follows rights and moderation review.
