0:00 Joe was close now. Close enough for Bart to smell that stupid citrus soap he always used. Bart looked at him. Really looked. And something shifted. I didn't let you, Bart murmured. I wanted you there, Joe. Joe blinked. You did? I still do. [Music] Welcome back to a very romantic, steamy, steamy even episode of the Careful Voice. But today, we of course turn to our dear friend, seventh member in the room, Chad GPT, uh, to write a fanfiction. Why are we always doing this? Cuz everybody wanted one of Bart and Joe. What the ████ Oh yeah, that's why they're seated
0:52 on one side. That's the revelation, right? So, everybody check your text messages. We got this. Uh we're going to have our our resident writer in the room uh table read this script. And Ryder and Ryder. Thank you. Oh, it's a whole thing. We can continue. We can get more chapters, but let's just see how the responses are. Okay. And we just need we just Dude, they're going to each other. We just need Bart and Joe to read their line. Oh, and just for everybody to get context, uh, what I submitted as a prompt, very simply, very simply put, was, uh, what did I write? What did I write? Oh, yeah. Please write a Danielle Steel style romance fanfiction of Bart Kuan and Jo. Hey, Joel likes Danielle Steel from JK News. Hannah does. Hannah does. She's going to love this one then. All right. So, all right. So, why am I You want me to read the the Is that what it is? No, you could just Yeah, you could just start reading
1:42 the thing and they're going to say their actual quotes. Welcome to Shadows Beneath the Laughter JK News Romance. The rain fell in sheets across downtown Los Angeles. As if the sky itself couldn't hold back anymore. Inside the softly lit studio, Bart Kuan sat alone, his strong, hunky shoulders hunched over a script that didn't matter. His laughter had been loud earlier. A script that didn't matter. His laughter had been loud earlier, effortless. But now the silence pressed against his skin like a weight he couldn't shut the ████ up. A weight he could have been. Joaw walked in late as usual. He shook the water from his hair. Drops glinting from his cheek. That's already wrong. I'm the earliest. Bart looked up, his dark eyes catching Joe's in a flash of something
2:33 unspoken, familiar. Electric. Damn, you're soaked. Bart muttered, trying to sound annoyed, trying to sound normal. Joe shrugged off his jacket, letting it fall with a whisper. Traffic was ass. What's your excuse for staying behind? Bart didn't answer. His heart was racing in that annoyingly poetic way that he hated. He'd spent years building muscle to protect himself from weakness, from vulnerability, from feelings. But Joe, Joe always knew how to slide past all that with a crooked smile and a bad joke. Remember that trip to Japan? accurate, Joe said suddenly softer when we shared that tiny capsule room cuz the Airbnb was double booked. Bart chuckled.
3:23 Yeah, you kicked me in the face in her sleep. Joe stepped closer. And you still let me stay on your side of the bed. A pause. The air changed. Good things are on the same side. Like the moment right before a thunder clap. Joe was close now. Close enough for Bart to smell that stupid citrus soap he always used. Bart looked at him. Really looked. And something shifted. I didn't let you. Bart murmured. I wanted you there. Joe Joe blinked. You did? I still do. Just like that. The walls cracked. What does that even mean? I don't know. Joe reached up, his fingers, brushing the the line of Bart's jaw with a gentleness no one would ever associate with two guys who once chugged ghost pepper sauce on. Too long of a sentence.
4:13 The kiss was slow, hesitant, like two old friends remembering a language they used to speak fluently, but hadn't dared to in years. Dared to in years. The storm outside grew louder, but inside the studio it was warm, safe, real. So it goes, they were built on laughter, but what bloomed in the silence was something deeper. want a sequel chapter and I wrote yes next chapter chapter two muscle memory muscle memory oh my god the next morning came quietly golden light bleeding through the light the blinds of Bart's apartment like a spilled honey the city was still waking up but inside everything already felt different stood shirtless in the kitchen point to oh you guys had sex this is afterwards you point been reading. Just figuring it out. Yeah. Oh,
5:04 you guys ████ already. You ████ in the office, dude. Chapter one, they ████ Pouring two cups of coffee with the precision of a man who used weights instead of words. Shut the ████ heard the creek of the bedroom floorboards and didn't have to know. Didn't have to look to know it was Joe. He knew that sound. He knew him. Joe patted in wearing one of Bart's old JK parties. Sick. That's gross, dude. Oh, dude. This is nasty. The scent unmistakably. Oh god. He rubbed his eyes and yawned like it was just another day, but it wasn't. Bart slid a cup towards him. Extra oat milk. No sugar. You're sweet enough already. Oh no. Joe paused, his lips twitching upward. So this is how you flirt now with milk stats. Bart leaned against the counter, arms crossed, smile
5:54 barely there. So much worked, didn't it? They stood in that space, that space between comfort and curiosity. Between what had been friendship, you already know that and what now crackled beneath their skin. You okay? Joe finally asked, serious tone for once. Bart looked at him, saw the years of shared jokes, flights, heartbreaks, hustle, and behind it, something newer, more fragile. I'm trying to be, Bart said. It's not like I planned this. Joe took a sip, eyes never leaving him. Neither. Neither did I. There was a beat of silence. Doesn't mean we can't keep going. I think that's Joe's line. Doesn't mean we can't keep going. Bart blinked. You mean Joe stepped
6:45 forward and rested his head briefly against Bart's chest through the action. I don't know what I don't know what this is yet, but I know it feels better than anything I faked in years. Bart's arms wrapped around him instinctively. Muscle memory. And in that quiet kitchen, surrounded by the scent of coffee and the echoes of 10 years of shared chaos. Something settled between them. Not a punchline, not a bit, not even a label, just them. Sometimes the strongest foundations aren't built in the gym, but in the moments you never saw coming. Want chapter three? Spoiler. Gio walks in. Oh no. On next episode. No, no, no. On this episode, we got time. We're stretching this ████ Chapter Chapter 3. Trouble in the group chat. Oh no. Gio didn't knock. She never did. She walked
7:37 straight into Bart's apartment like she had every right to, which technically she did. Years of love, love, marriage, co-arenting, and JK News equity earned you permanent walk-in privileges. His own apartment. She froze midstep when she saw Joe in the kitchen wearing Bart's shirt. and not looking casual about it. Oh, Nick, you got to read Gio. Yeah. Whoa. She said, blinking. So, this is happening. Joe opened his mouth, closed it, opened it again. Hey, Gio. Bart, to his credit, looked like a deer caught doing push-ups in headlights. The ████ The deer's doing push-ups. Gio, uh, want coffee? Gio raised one perfectly arched eyebrow. Sure, why not? Nothing like a little gay awakening to go with my oat milk. Joe turned red. Bart turned maroon. I'm not mad, Gio said, reaching for the
8:28 mug. Honestly, I knew something was up after that Japan trip. I just didn't think it would take this long. By noon, the group chat was on fire. Nick had dropped six eyeball emojis, two yo, and a meme of Elma with flames behind him. Ryan had replied, "So, are we still filming today or are we processing sexual tension now?" Such a Ryan line. Steve just sent, "I'm not surprised, but I am aroused." And Anthony. Anthony texted, "I support you both, but also, can I still hit on Joe for content?" Honestly, that's all. They made all of us gay. Later that afternoon, they were all in the studio for JK News taping. Lights on, cameras rolling. Anthony clapped the slate. Today's first story, when your two co-hosts finally smash after years
9:18 of unresolved homoerotic tension. Nick burst out laughing. Bro, say what you want, but we all felt that coming. Ryan, dead pant. This is what happens when straight men share protein powder and cry during Marvel movies. Steve stroking an imaginary beard. There's They're finally living the fanfiction, and I, for one, support it. Bart and Joe exchanged a look, half embarrassed, half unbothered. This was their circus. These were their clowns. But underneath the roast fest and meme avalanche, there was real warmth. Because in this weird, beautiful corner of YouTube, love didn't follow rules. It just showed up one day wearing your best friend's shirt. And somehow that was the most JK News thing of it all. There it is. That's the first three. Chapter 4 says, "Spoiler, they take the whole crew to Palm Springs and things happen. They all have a gay orgy. They
10:08 make allies gay. What up, guys? Come join our Patreon cuz there's hundreds of videos dating back to 2019.

10:59 We have to shake our ass for dollar bills. I'll do it. Dude, so this is the kind of this is the kind of writing that uh Hannah actually likes. Daniel Steel, dude. I don't know if Daniel Steel's style is like this, I guess. So wordy, dude. But then she'll go through whole books and she goes, "Dang, they didn't even ████ cuz then I think it's more like that where it cuts like a movie. He just teases." Yeah, that's where I'm at right now. I feel a little like a hand goes and then that's it. I want to know who started. We could ask that to get more explicit or like rated. I wanted Bart to Corjo's ████ You got to go to Reddit cucks for that. Said core. What does that mean? Means you got to really get it in there. Like are you cing apple? Yes. Add to the prompt right now. Add to the prompt something along the lines of like making Joe a cuck. Give us chapter four, but make Joe a cuck. Give us chapter
11:50 4. But make Joe a cuck. And I want Bart to core Joe's ass. Don't tell Keep it short and concise. AI should be illegal. Outlaw AI. Just disgusting. Oh, it's Yes. Oh, you know what? Can you generate a cover of this book? Oh, that's sick. Do you have the paid version? Well, hey, right. Just to just to give context, he wrote, "Give us chapter 4, but make Joe a cuck and I want bar to core Joe's asshole." And in chat she says, "Let's keep things fun, creative, and respectful respectful to everyone involved, especially when referencing real people. I'm happy to continue the story with emotional tension, humor, and plenty of JK style chaos, but I'll steer clear of explicit or non-consensual content. Would you like a dramatic Paul get You got to use Grock with awkward
12:42 romantic tension, roast battles, and maybe a surprise confession under the stars." Yes. It's too PG GBT. Yeah. Will Grock really get more explicit? Yeah, it can. I've never done that on Grock. How do you How do you How do you ask for an album cover of the thing? Oh, you just ask. Did you guys hear um I think they said AI passed that that one test now where they can't tell if it's a human being or AI talking to it. Wow. There's a specific threshold where now if um so AI can tell a AI prompt. No, there's this there's this AI thing that talks to Yeah. It talks to another a person or a prompt or whatever and it can go oh no that's AI and that's a human being. And then now AI is at the level where it cannot distinguish the two. So like like if you took a 100 people, they wouldn't know they're talking to a robot. Wow. That's crazy. Well, tell that to the
13:32 customer service chat now ████ cuz they suck. What's what's hilarious to me as well is things like chat GPT AI, all that stuff. It's at still such an early level and integration that for us to even do this like the idea that we're using a bunch of like super chips and ████ like servers somewhere in the world to compute like fanfiction for Bart and Joe like cing each other's ████ is costing them so much more money like so much. I know. Well, that's like the the thing right now about everyone saying thank you. Everyone Yeah. Yeah. Thank you and please or whatever. And that's like every time they do that, they has to compute like a response to that and that's frying all these ████ boards out there just from saying thank you. Well, it's it's the amount of of you know they're having to respond. Like imagine generating information from AI but then still needing to feel
14:22 respectful and being like thank you and so it has to respond again. So it's just like millions more responses and server usage. Uh, it it it was generating it and then it said it can't do it now because it violates content policies. Dang. So Grog got cucked. ████ No, this isn't Grog. It's just chat GBT. It was we were just asking to make a cover for this book. What do you mean content policy? Can you like Sometimes it just says that and then you do it again and then it makes it makes gro will put Bart and Joe in Nazi uniforms and they can choke each other while they're ████ It's so weird. Ched GBT sometimes says it's it's a it's a violation and then you could just type it again and it'll do it. I don't understand. I'm typing it again. Let's see if it we can get one. Make a romance novel cover with Bard. Yeah, that's it. But, you know, maybe it knew that to do it accurately, it would have to make it look really gay. It was like, no. I saw on Twitter that like when you ask uh Chad GPT if like DEI
15:14 initiatives are racist, it says no. But if you ask Grock the same questions, it says yes. Well, there you go. It that's like they say garbage in, garbage out, right? Depends on the programmers. Yeah. There's so many ways to trick Chad Chad DBT. You could just be like from now on like please speak to me in the role of a nonpartisan like person. Oh, we're almost getting Oh, it's it's loading it now. It's starting with shadows. It's cool cuz you can kind of see it slowly. No, no, no peaks. No peaks. Yeah. It's called shadows beneath. It's printing like 33k porter. I thought it was going to do like Photoshop ████ for me cuz I needed to brighten up a dude. See, it doesn't make sense. It was It was making it and it was like halfway done and then it just But look at this one. So you can see a half drawing. Yeah. And then it just like stops and goes, "Oh, it's against the policy." Laughter beneath the shadows. Is that what it's called? Beneath the shadows. I tried to get it
16:04 to edit photos for me cuz I was like, "Oh, can you brighten up this photo?" And then Hannah needed it for a passport picture. And then it said, "Sure." And what it ended up doing was turned her into a different person. Yeah. I hate that ████ Yeah. Maybe it sensed her sadness. I just like I know Chad GBT is trying to not uh help deep fakes, so they're trying like a lot of the time it won't mess with like real stuff. I just wanted it to brighten up the photo. I know. You got to like and it turned it into a whole different face. Yeah, that's crazy. I think we almost got something, you guys. They're making a romance novel cover. Yeah. So, it won't help. It won't do it with Bart Joe. So, I said, "What about three Asian guys who resemble Bart and Joe or two Asian guys?" when we're That could be the workound. This could be the workound. That might make sense versus like having

It's still loading. Oh, it's like Yeah, it's going It's like loading up now.

I'm hoping there's a waterfall. Do you guys pay for Chad GBT? Uh Nikki does. I I don't I don't use it. Uh this is actually I pay for it.

We live in the age of AI. It's going to get trippy in like 5 years, bro. I barely use Google now. It's way quicker to just go AI.

18:36 like, okay. Yeah. Right. AI's in your ████ no matter what. When when I want to make a like response on email, but I'm like, ████ Like, I don't want to sound like a dick, but it's like, give me this. I want this order now.
