[ding] [muffled noises] [moans and heavy breathing] [gasps] oh, my god! what? [phyllis gasps, drops box] ♪ ♪ >> announcer: from new york city, the only city in america... it's the show that invented news. this is "the daily show" with your host, sarah silverman! [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪

>> sarah: welcome to "the daily show!" i am sarah silverman. and i am back for yet another night of posting. it's almost like life is this repetitious cycle from which only death can truly release us. but anyway. he was ready for some fun? [cheers and applause] let's get into it. ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] all right, let's get right to it. the big news. there was an election yesterday. maybe you forgot about it and apparently, so did some republicans, because democrats got almost everything they wanted. [cheers and applause] >> overnight, democrats on a winning streak, scoring victories in ohio, kentucky, virginia. in deep red kentucky, trump-backed candidate republican daniel cameron tried to take down democratic governor andy beshear by linking him to biden, but it didn't work. >> thank you, kentucky!

[cheers and applause] >> and in virginia, a tidal wave for democrats who held on to their state senate majority and took control of the house of delegates, too. a dramatic rebuke of republican governor glenn youngkin. and in philadelphia, history was made. democrat cherelle parker becoming the first female mayor in the city of brotherly love. >> and now to the remarkable story of a man who was imprisoned for years for a crime he did not commit. yusef salaam, known as one of the exonerated five, has been elected to new york city council after running unopposed. >> the beautiful thing about my story is that i was counted out. i was one of those who was pushed into the margins of life and now we're here right now. [cheers and applause] >> sarah: yes! one of the guys who was falsely accused of attacking a central park jogger -- and who donald trump said should

get the death penalty -- is now a city councilman. he went from having his life threatened by trump to being an elected representative. he's like a reverse mike pence. and to this man, who has overcome so much and still has the selflessness and the strength of character to turn around and serve this city that falsely imprisoned him, i just want to say: when are you gonna do something about the jackhammering? my taxes pay your salary, buddy. fix the subways! [applause] but yeah, democrats were the big winners last night, which means all those human sacrifices were worth it. shout out to my fellow illuminati members. guys, we did it! democrats are feeling really good. after the results rolled in, i got an email from nancy pelosi that wasn't even asking for money. it just said, "sarah: i am so wet right now"

now elections aren't only about changing which butts are taking up which seats in various fancy rooms. people also get to vote directly on issues that are important to them. >> clearly, the biggest takeaway, abortion rights boosting democrats in key races in both red and blue states. >> abortion access is the law of the land in ohio. >> in one of the country's most watched swing state races, ohioans voting to guarantee abortion access, enshrining that right into the state's constitution. ohio becoming the seventh state to vote to protect abortion rights since the supreme court's ruling last year, overturning roe v. wade. >> you put very sexy things like abortion and marijuana on the ballot and a lot of young people come out and vote. >> sarah: "sexy issues like abortion?" what are his porn search words? the fact is, abortion limits

have become such a losing issue that some conservatives have purportedly decided that the problem is into pro-life policies but the phrase "pro-life." they are looking to rebrand it and personally, i think they should be forced to carry this phrase to term. for more on this conundrum and the pro-life movement, let's go live to the ohio statehouse with grace kuhlenschmidt. [cheers and applause] hello, grace. grace, the pro-life movement has a real problem here. even in red states, voters don't like being told what to do with their bodies. >> mm, i don't know if it's as much of a body control thing as it is a branding problem. i mean, pro-life? yuck. have you seen life? it's gross. so much mucous. that's why it needs a fun new term that doesn't have all the baggage. like, instead of pro-life, they could go with "pro parents," or

"pro-girl power," or "pro-zendaya." what else is popular? oh! i know! "pro-choice!" people seem to love that term. [laughter and applause] >> sarah: grace, i think that one's already taken. that would cause a lot of confusion. >> [laughs] yeah! it would! what a goof! that's why they're also considering slogans that are totally unrelated to abortion but will naturally appeal to women. like, how about "pro-shopping"? you know how us ladies are, sarah! >> sarah: that is such a cheap appeal. women are not stupid. >> no, they are not. they are probably not. that is why the pro-life movement should consider brand sponsorships, like our sports teams do with stadiums. maybe people will like the fetal heartbeat law if it's now the "smoothie king fetal heartbeat law."

>> sarah: i do love smoothies. still, voters don't like to be tricked. they deserve honesty. >> yeah, great! honesty. we're spit-balling now, i love it! what if pro-lifers were just totally honest? their slogalns can be straight-up: "your body, our choice." or "handmaid's tale: let's try it!" >> sarah: grace, none of that is going to work. people in this country don't want to ban abortion. period. >> no, it's about the branding. they just haven't figured out the right one yet. but i am not worried. republicans are the party of middle-aged white guys who wear socks during sex. they know how to appeal to women. >> sarah: grace kuhlenschmidt, everybody. [cheers and applause] when we come back, we'll talk about why i'm suing ai. so don't go away. [cheers and applause]

we've all been trying to grapple with its larger impact. we're seeing kids use it to cheat in school. we're seeing shitty partners use it for breakups. chatgpt is even able to pass the legal bar exam! meeting, it will be the first ai to develop an addiction to cocaine. but it might be a good thing that you gpt could be a lawyer because a lot of people are taking his ass to court. >> this, morning a "game of thrones" erupting over the rights to some of the most popular works in the world. george r.r. martin and more than a dozen other authors now suing openai, creator of chatgpt. martin, joining forces with authors like jodi picoult, john grisham, ellen hilderbrand, michael connolly, and david baldacci to take on the ai giant. >> and comedian sarah silverman is suing openai and meta. she claims the companies developed artificial intelligence tools that freely copied her memoir, "the bedwetter," without permission.

>> sarah: that's right, [bleep]! esteemed writing luminaries like me and george r.r. martin, "are are" suing ai. and i'll tell you why in another installment of "long story short." ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] for as long as we've had civilization, we've also had art. for over 40,000 years, artists have had a sacred creative process: they sit down to ruminate on the human condition, bei pace and they struggled to focus. they get up to get a snap, maybe take a nap. then they work a bit more, so they reward themselves by scrolling instagram on the toilet for so long they shit again, then they finally get something on the page, and when they ask their partner for feedback, get mad when it isn't what they wanted to hear because their partner doesn't [bleep] get me, why do i even ask you? you're supposed to support me! then, eventually, they buckle down, really do the work, and

finally, voila. "tubthumping." but now, generative ai can eliminate that entire creative process in a matter of seconds. >> dall-e 2 is artificial intelligence software that can turn anything you type into art, in any style. portrait of a panda in the style of renoir. and boom. >> wild "game of thrones" author george r.r. martin has had fans waiting years for his next novels, one programmer used chatgpt to generate the long-awaited installments in mere minutes. >> sarah: a programmer generated his own shitty ending to "game of thrones?" why waste your time? hbo already did that! here's the thing. while ai has helped open many avenues for new works, there is just one problem: they are not new works! what these programs do is scrape text and images from existing

works and feed it into their system in order to create copycats. so when someone wanted to know what a modern mona lisa would look like, they just typed it into an ai program, and seconds later, it pumped out this. that's right. we used this ultra-powerful technological tool to put titties on the mona lisa. congrats, society, we did it! and for the record, if we're gonna add sweater puppies to a da vinci painting, it should have been "the last supper." look at them! who's gonna crucify those melons? anyway, these programs are not just pumping out busty, derivative works of art. they are also printing money. chatgpt is on track to make a billion dollars just this year. which is great for them, but the problem is that these companies are using artists' work without credit, consent, or payment! and i have had first have an experience with this theft because one of the hundred

thousand books used to train chatgpt, was my book, "the bedwetter." available wherever books are sold! [applause and laughter] and by the way, that book is about my actual life! my jokes, my experiences, my pain. and chatgpt stole all of it ended even half the courtesy to give me mona lisa tits! i hadn't seen that artwork. and surprisingly, many of the owners of these ai companies don't seem to be in a giant rush to unpack the moral implications. >> i bought this for $79, thinking it was the work of talented artist, but a robot made it. ai software called midjourney created by david holz. it's one >> how do you respond to the idea that this is somehow a counterfeit form of artistic expression? well, we're not really selling art. we're just -- we have this community playing with this technology.

like, the art community already has issues with plagiarism. i don't really want to be involved in that. like -- >> i think you -- i think you might be. >> i might be. >> sarah: "i might be." you know what you be. "you guys aren't going to use the atomic bomb and i made to hurt people? are you?" ugh, when did humanity's villains start looking like such beta cucks? i mean, say what you want about genghis khan. at least he looks like his stomach could handle milk. and this is precisely why you -- [cheers and applause] thank you. this is precisely why you are seeing artists filing lawsuits to protect not only their creative work but that of future artists. and just to be clear, i'm not looking to shut down ai or turn the clock back. i just want guardrails so that ai fairly compensates the people whose work comprises its entire brain. this is not anything new. technological advancements will always require regulation. for example, when technology brought us turntables and music

sampling, it helped launch the genre of rap music, and brought us lyrical wizards like biggie, tupac, and chet hanks. but back when it started, it wasn't clear whether sampling was an innovative art form or stealing. but eventually, legal guardrails were put in place that helped set how technology could be used to create art and compensate those whose previous works were being used. it's not perfect, but both sides can get what they want. it's why every time the song "hard knock life" by jay-z plays, those kids from "annie" get money. so they don't have to live in the orphanage anymore. everybody wins! so long story short, i'm not saying we should destroy these ai models. i'm just saying, we also need rules to protect artists and their work. and i am confident we can find a way through this, because artists are resilient. we get knocked down, but we get up again.

margo. >> hello. >> sarah: margo. so —- oh, my gosh. i thought the phone alarm was on but it was the music from here. sorry, my edibles are kicking in. >> happens to be all the time. >> sarah: so your album is about substance abuse. it's about self image. it's about abortion rights. and you wrote it on mushrooms. >> sarah: yeah. it has been pretty transformative for me. the first time i had a psychedelic trip, i was 20 years old and i dropped out of college and moved to nashville. highly suggested for anybody who doesn't want to get into student loan debt. then yeah, the next time i took it, i wrote this album and the third time that i took it, i decided to quit drinking alcohol, which had really been a challenge for me. it was kind of after i started

reading about bill wilson and the work he did with aa. he initially had a psychedelic experience on a plant called belladonna. and they were actually at the very beginning moments of aa, they were giving people acid and it was curing their alcoholism. so i don't know. if you are feeling stuck with anything. [applause] >> sarah: well, you wrote this book, "maybe we'll make it." and what was your approach to writing a book? was there any similarities to how you approach songwriting? was it a completely different, daunting task? >> it was daunting. i know you know as well. laying it all out there. i started writing it when i found myself pregnant with my daughter ramona. and i was just at home and i couldn't tour. through the process, it was also kind of when i decided to give up drinking, because i was reading everything from this

different place. i was able to give myself a little more compassion as i was reading things back. but it was scary to put it all out there. you know, everybody i slept with, all the drugs i have ever done. sorry, grandma. >> sarah: you are performing your song "lydia" tonight, which i am so excited about. and it's about abortion and you wrote it before roe was overturned. so what inspired that? >> i was walking around in this town in canada, there was just a lot of methadone clinics, a lot of people that were really struggling, and so i initially wrote it then and i was kind of scared of the song. i played it for a couple of my friends and one of them said, man, that song just really sucks the air out of the room. and it doesn't rhyme. and it is, like, 6 minutes. so i knew that this was the perfect place to come do a song about a hooker contemplating an abortion. >> sarah: "strays" and "strays 2" are available now. be sure to stay tuned for a very, very special performance. thank you.
