The crew come across an old space station. inside they find a stasis booth. After opening the stasis booth they don’y believe it. It seems to be Hollister, but quite a bit older than they remember. Hollister managed to survive the accident and got off the Red Dwarf to get help, I will cut a long story short, at the end of the episode Hollister makes a death bed confession. It was he who caused the accident not Rimmer. He also tells Rimmer that When the accident occured, Yvonne Mcguder was on planet leave so did not get killed. She was pregnant with Rimmers baby.

That would be the start and end of the episode, there would need to be a chain of events in between, but I think you have the gist.

I’ve got to say, this AI really understands Lister’s motivations

I think this might be more fun than Dall E Mini



EDIT:
I don’t think that’s a great image so here’s the text: 

Write an episode of Red Dwarf from Rob Grants buttski

Red Dwarf: The Butt Of The jokes

It’s another day on the mining ship Red Dwarf and the crew are once again up to their usual antics. The main focus of attention is on Rob Grant’s butt, which is the target of many jokes.

The butt of the jokes might not be the most popular member of the crew, but he takes it all in good humour. He knows that he has a good sense of humour and is always the first to laugh at his own expense.

But today, things are different. Rob Grant’s butt is feeling rather sore and it’s starting to affect his mood. He’s not laughing at the jokes anymore and he’s starting to get angry.

The rest of the crew start to notice that something is wrong and they try to help him. But it’s not long before they realise that the only way to help Rob Grant’s butt is to give it some time to heal.

So they leave him alone and hope that he’ll be back to his old self soon. But as the days go by, it becomes clear that something is seriously wrong with Rob Grant’s butt.

The crew start to get worried and they decide to take him to see the ship’s medical officer. It’s there that they finally discover the truth.

Rob Grant’s butt is infected with a rare and deadly disease. The only way to save him is to amputate his butt.

The crew are devastated by the news, but they know that it’s the only way to save him. They all gather around him as the medical officer prepares to operate.

And as they watch, Rob Grant’s butt is slowly but surely cut away from his body. It’s a sad day for the crew, but they know that it’s the only way to save their friend.

 How did you make this text invisible in dark mode, and why.

[Shrug]
I pasted it from my comment in the Idea for an Episode thread*, so maybe it contains some kind of special powers. 

*Yes, I am that lazy.

Curious… so copying it from another page caused it to retain its formatting, even as it was put through the text editor again. Thanks for clarifying that.

I asked it for an Identity Within script and I feel genuinely invested in what it came up with, but it wouldn’t generate any more. Top line in bold was my prompt.

Red Dwarf Script: “IDENTITY WITHIN”

INT. RED DWARF – CORRIDOR

LISTER is walking down the corridor, looking at his reflection in a mirror. He is wearing a white shirt and black trousers. His hair is combed back and he has a beard. He looks like a different person.

LISTER: (to himself) Who am I?

He looks at himself in the mirror again and doesn’t recognise himself. He looks scared.

LISTER: (to himself) What’s happening to me?

Suddenly, he sees his reflection in the mirror change. His eyes change colour and his hair changes colour. His reflection is now him, but with different features.

LISTER: (to himself) What the…?

He reaches out to touch the mirror, but his hand goes right through it. He looks shocked.

LISTER: (to himself) What’s going on?

Suddenly, he hears a voice behind him.

VOICE: Hello, Lister.

Lister turns around and sees himself standing there. But this is a different version of himself. He is wearing a red shirt and black trousers. His hair is short and he has a beard.

LISTER: Who are you?

VERSION OF LISTER: I’m you, Lister. Or at least I was.

LISTER: What do you mean?

VERSION OF LISTER: I’m from an alternate universe. A universe where you made different choices.

LISTER: What choices?

VERSION OF LISTER: The choices that led you to where you are now.

LISTER: And where’s that?

VERSION OF LISTER: You’re about to find out.

Ask it for a Red Dwarf/Sonic The Hedgehog crossover and we can all die happy.

[Jason aka Smeg4Brains]

Ask it for a Red Dwarf/Sonic The Hedgehog crossover and we can all die happy.

Here’s two:

Red Dwarf/Sonic the Headgehog crossover script:

The crew of the Red Dwarf find themselves transported to the world of Sonic the Hedgehog. They soon discover that they have the ability to run at super speed and must use their new found abilities to help Sonic and his friends save the world from the evil Dr. Robotnik. 

Lister: What the smeg is going on?

Rimmer: I have no idea.

Cat: Where are we?

Lister: And why do I feel like I can run really fast?

Sonic: You must be the newcomers. I’m Sonic the Hedgehog.

Lister: Oh, thank god. We were starting to think we were in some kind of alternate universe or something.

Sonic: That’s exactly what this is. You see, Dr. Robotnik has taken over this world and enslaved the population. We’ve been fighting him for years, but we can’t do it alone. We need all the help we can get.

Lister: Well, you can count us in. We’re not going to let some maniac take over this world.

Cat: Besides, I could use a good workout. Running at super speed sounds like just the thing.

Sonic: Great. Come with me and I’ll fill you in on the plan.

Rimmer: Hang on a second. What about our ship? We can’t just leave it here.

Sonic: Don’t worry, we’ll send someone to pick it up. But right now, we need to focus on stopping Robotnik.

——–

Red Dwarf/Sonic the Headgehog crossover script:

Scene 1:

Lister: Hey, Rimmer. I was just thinking, what if we were to cross over with the popular video game character, Sonic the Hedgehog?

Rimmer: What are you talking about, Lister?

Lister: Well, it could be really cool. We could have all sorts of wacky adventures together.

Rimmer: I highly doubt that.

Lister: Oh, come on. It would be great.

Scene 2:

Sonic: Hey, guys.

Lister: Sonic!

Sonic: Whoa. Is this some kind of alternate dimension or something?

Lister: Nope. We’re just in a television show.

Sonic: That’s cool. I’m Sonic the Hedgehog.

Lister: I’m Dave Lister. This is Arnold Rimmer.

Rimmer: Hello.

Sonic: Hi.

Lister: So, Sonic, what do you do?

Sonic: I run really fast.

Lister: That’s it?

Sonic: Well, I also stop evil Dr. Robotnik from taking over the world.

Lister: Oh, yeah. We have a guy like that too. He’s called the Cat.

Sonic: The Cat?

Lister: Yeah. He’s this evil, genetically-modified creature that is bent on destroying us all.

Sonic: Well, I’m sure I could help you out with that.

Lister: Thanks, Sonic. I knew we could count on you.

Deleted scene:

[Dave]

I’m starting to think this is how Into The Gloop was written.

[Jason aka Smeg4Brains]

“The Long Sleep” synopsis reads like “White Hole 2”.

[Flap Jack]

Love it. The nonchalant return to Earth in episode 1, the episode which is just Lister repeatedly waking up, both zombies and vampires being involved, the fact that episode 5 actually somewhat plausibly leads into episode 6, and that it ends with half of the main characters dead.

I’m also still chuckling about Lister repeatedly insisting that they have to “save” a bunch of people who live in a utopian society for no reason. “But sir, they live in a utopia. If we took them away, they would be unhappy.” / “No, we have to save them!”. Just that on loop for the full half hour please.

[Jason aka Smeg4Brains]

[desbug]

I enjoyed Series XIII. I’m impressed the AI wrote a proper joke in the Lister / Kryten general bit which very much fitted the “There are no sounds to hear” mould…

[Flap Jack]

Can’t believe we got TOS back and Series XIII in the same day. Life comes at you fast.

[Jenuall]

“I was gonna call my first son Jim, after my Dad” – doesn’t have quite the same ring to it!

Red Dwarf Script: “DAD“

INT. RED DWARF – DAVE Lister‘s Quarters

DAVE LISTER is sitting on his bunk, looking at a photograph of himself and his father, JIM LISTER. He looks sad and thoughtful.

Suddenly, the door opens and his father walks in.

JIM

(smiling)

Hey, son. Long time no see.

DAVE is shocked and delighted to see his father. He leaps up and they hug each other.

DAVE

Dad! What are you doing here?

JIM

I came to see you, of course. I‘ve been hearing good things about you, Dave.

DAVE

(embarrassed)

Yeah, well, you know.

JIM

I‘m proud of you, son. You‘re doing well.

DAVE

(touched)

Thanks, Dad.

JIM

I wish I could have been here for you, Dave. I‘m sorry I wasn‘t around more when you were growing up.

DAVE

(shrugging)

Write a short script for a dialogue between Lister and Rimmer where they decide to explode Red Dwarf but later realize that they have no explosives:

Lister: Hey, Rimmer. I was thinking… maybe we should blow up Red Dwarf.

Rimmer: What? Are you crazy?
Lister: No, I‘m serious. We could use the explosives we‘ve been stockpiling.
Rimmer: Lister, we don‘t have any explosives.
Lister: What?
Rimmer: We don‘t have any explosives. We used them all up blowing up the asteroid.
Lister: Oh, right. I forgot about that.
Rimmer: So, blowing up Red Dwarf is not an option.
Lister: Well, it was just a thought.

[International Debris]

More applause for the worryingly plausible XIII summary there. Beginning to wonder if there wasn’t a scrapped TPL steelbook somewhere that these were taken from.

A quick look at the present, and future, of Red Dwarf:

Write a summary of the current legal situation between Doug Naylor and Grant Naylor Productions:

Grant Naylor Productions (GNP) is a production company founded by Doug Naylor and Rob Grant, who are the co-creators of the popular British sci-fi comedy series Red Dwarf. GNP is currently in a legal dispute with Doug Naylor over the rights to the Red Dwarf brand.

Doug Naylor claims that he is the sole owner of the Red Dwarf brand, and is seeking to prevent GNP from using the brand in any future projects. GNP, on the other hand, argues that the brand belongs to both Doug Naylor and Rob Grant, and that they should be able to continue using it in future projects.

The current legal situation is ongoing, and a final decision has not yet been made.

What other Red Dwarf spinoffs will Rob Grant write for Big Finish?

There are no plans for any further Red Dwarf spinoffs from Rob Grant.

[International Debris]

No matter how many times I edit that, it won’t add in any proper paragraph breaks.

[Dave]

If this is the only way to get new Red Dwarf, it’s better than nothing.

[Dollar Pound]

no

[Flap Jack]

I like that even when given a leading question, the AI refuses to entertain the idea that Rob Grant destroyed the Red Dwarf website.

I’m also shocked to learn about this mysterious DNX company. What other secrets is Doug keeping from us?

And I’m not 100% on the Big Finish series, but at least “they eventually discover the device they’ve been using to travel back in time is a time machine” fits well with “Lister repeatedly insists that they rescue people from a utopia”.

[International Debris]

The fifth episode, “The Final Frontier”, has the crew finally escaping from the planet. They find themselves in an alternate universe, and they must find a way back to their own universe. 

The sixth episode, “The Return”, has the crew returning to their own universe. They find that the Earth has been taken over by the aliens, and they must find a way to stop them.

[International Debris]

[Flap Jack]

Haha, no problem, ID, I’m just glad to hear about the rest of the series.

Fwiw, I believe you can remove the copy-pasted formatting by switching the text editor to code view and removing the ‘span’ html tags.

MARLON BRANDO is going to score very highly in the Coral Canvass.

I still demand we call it the “Molybdenum Manifest”.

Write a Red Dwarf episode where Rimmer discovers a fancy new green tunic that he is very proud of until the Cat destroys it out of spite for looking better than his suit:

Rimmer is strutting around the ship in his new green tunic, feeling very pleased with himself. The Cat comes up to him and starts making fun of him, saying that he looks ridiculous. Rimmer ignores him, but the Cat continues to tease him until Rimmer finally snaps and yells at him. The Cat then takes out a knife and starts slicing up the tunic, much to Rimmer’s horror. Rimmer tries to stop him, but it’s too late – the tunic is ruined. Rimmer is left standing there in his tattered clothing, feeling embarrassed and humiliated.

[Moonlight]

Write a Red Dwarf episode where Lister discovers the ultimate curry, except eating makes you grow 50 feet tall:

Lister is in the galley, cooking up a curry. He’s been working on this recipe for weeks, and he’s finally perfected it. He takes a bite, and immediately feels something strange happening. He looks down and sees that he’s growing! He keeps growing and growing, until he’s 50 feet tall!

He panics and runs out of the ship, into the nearest town. He starts smashing things with his giant feet, and the people are screaming in terror. He doesn’t know what to do, and he’s getting hungrier and hungrier. He eventually finds a building with a lot of food inside, and starts eating everything in sight.

The authorities arrive and try to stop him, but it’s too late. He’s already eaten so much that he’s grown to 100 feet tall! They start shooting at him, but the bullets just bounce off his skin. He’s a giant, unstoppable force, and they have no choice but to evacuate the town.

Lister is out of control, and the only thing that can stop him is the ultimate curry. But how will they get it to him?

[cwickham]

That’s basically just the plot of Monster Blood III

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

Eating curry makes you grow but smoking stunts your growth so Lister is always perfectly balanced

[Stephen Abootman]

Big fan of the Marlon Brando episode, shocking revelation. 

[International Debris]

“The crew of Red Dwarf are having a tough time adjusting to life without their tongues” might be my new favourite sentence.

[Ian Symes]

Please, someone with animation skills, please make an animated Marlon Brando.

[Dave]

“I did kill him, you know” is up there with the show’s funniest moments.

[Dave]

[Ian Symes]

Beautiful.

It’s impressive how this AI can come up with some legit feasible ideas. 

[si]

Because you’ve always wanted it.
Write a Red Dwarf/Hyperdrive crossover episode
The crew of the Red Dwarf are forced to land on a strange planet when their ship is damaged. They soon find out that the planet is home to a race of aliens who are obsessed with a TV show called Hyperdrive. The aliens are so obsessed with the show that they have built a replica of the ship from the show and have even kidnapped one of the crew members to use as a stand–in for one of the characters.
The crew of the Red Dwarf must find a way to escape from the planet before the aliens force them to star in their own version of the show.

[Warbodog]

It’s impressive how this AI can come up with some legit feasible ideas. 

My job’s largely been replaced by AI when it comes to writing generic copy for random business websites (i.e. looking at what similar websites are doing and rewriting it, pretending I know what I’m talking about). It frankly does a better job than I did, no hard feelings.
