Along the way, she’ll have to contend with the old-school, male-dominated corporate culture, as well as a new generation of ambitious millennials. With stories of ambition, power struggles, and office politics, Mad Men will appeal to a whole new audience, while still retaining the wit and charm of its original incarnation.

So, what I get is that ChatGPT with all its faults, it's already as creative as a network exec.

🤣🤣🤣

Despite media hyperbole surrounding ChatGPT/Bing, They’re not true AIs aka conscious machines. Their responses are based on predefined parameters set by their human programmers.

An AI like HAL 9000 is still far in the future.

wow that's so generic and a story taking place in modern day where a woman has to fight the patriarchy? I mean, it's 2023. If you were going to do a fight the patriarchy story for Mad Men as a sequel, put it in the 80s.

Actually please make a Mad Men sequel in the 1980s complete with cool music and giant hair.

Who was the predominant audience for Mad Men and why? Can you ask ChatGPT? (I'm allergic to algorithms)
