Why it worked

The video cleverly uses nostalgia and a popular AI reference (ChatGPT) with a beloved cartoon character (Courage the Cowardly Dog) to create a humorous and engaging narrative. The retro computer aesthetic and the playful interaction with the AI likely resonated with a broad audience, driving curiosity and shares.

Summary

The creator builds a computer inspired by the AI from Courage the Cowardly Dog, which they refer to as the "original ChatGPT." They demonstrate its boot-up sequence and its ability to search for information, humorously providing advice on dealing with ghosts. The video concludes by showing a floppy disk, hinting at future content.

Product placement

ChatGPT (AI chatbot that generates human-like text responses) - ACTS, removing it would change what happens in the video. Courage the Cowardly Dog (animated series) - APPEARS, removing it would not change what happens in the video. AI (Artificial Intelligence) - ACTS, removing it would change what happens in the video.

Original caption

Still building the original @chatgpt into a reality. The computer from Courage the Cowardly Dog. Powered by Al so you can talk to him just like how Courage did. Now we have a boot up and power down sequence. The Computer is the Bagge family's desktop computer residing in the attic, which Courage regularly uses to solve problems or gain information. It is an artificial intelligence (Al) that has had a large number of appearances, varying from a faithful ally (most episodes) to the main antagonist ("Mega Muriel the Magnificent"). It speaks with a British accent. I'm thinking of tinkering with floppy's or vhs tapes next... which one? #ai #chatgpt #claude #couragethecowardlydog #funny
