It seems that AI-created images have finally made it to the mainstream. On John Oliver's Last Week Tonight, the comedian/commentator dedicated an entire monologue and even a skit to AI programs such as DALL-E. These programs take inputted text data and create images based on the information provided. John Oliver spoke at length about not only the programs that he discovered but also what he found when searching through the images created by users using the program. In one instance, he looked up fellow British comedian, James Corden, who found himself the inspiration of a couple of images, mostly quite comical nature.

Last year I attended the Marketo Marketing Nation Summit and had the opportunity to be entertained by keynote speaker James Corden of the CBS Late Late Show and of "carpool karaoke" fame. Central to Corden's talk was the importance of truth and transparency in both comedy and marketing. And aside from the obvious irony in today's era of alternative facts and fake news, he made a great argument for keeping things real. In addition to Corden, the buzz at the summit was all about the latest trends in marketing tech, particularly artificial intelligence (AI). Comments about AI's ability to facilitate listening, personalization and campaign management at scale floated around the halls and meeting rooms, causing almost everyone to wonder about the possibilities.

Though James Corden's late night segment "Carpool Karaoke" puts the Late Late Show host's vocal skills on display, Corden is rarely (if ever) the center of musical attention. Chris Martin brought Corden on stage -- dressed as a long lost fifth Coldplay member -- to pay tribute to Prince with a surprisingly great cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U." It's a delight to behold, and a convincing argument for Corden's very own solo "Carpool Karaoke" segment. China's Xpider robot is inspired by the magic of Pixar films

Late Night host Seth Meyers sits down with USA TODAY's Jefferson Graham to talk tech--why Facebook is funnier than Twitter, his thoughts on drones and hyperloops, his home app of choice and why he won't buy the Amazon Echo. "I couldn't live without my iPhone, but if I have to hit a reply, I'm so much happier having a Blackberry," says Meyers in a #TalkingTech interview here. He likes iPhone for surfing and quick replies, but the physical keyboard of the BlackBerry for writing jokes and longer e-mail replies. The host of NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers (Monday through Friday, 12:35 AM) regularly turns to tech in his monologues, where gadgets, apps and websites are often just as relevant as the day's headlines. He recently took on presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the segment "Hillary Clin-Tron Tech Genius," for not being as tech savvy as he would have liked, roasting her for such sins as admitting that she didn't know how to charge an Apple iPad or operate the fax (yes, fax) machine. The former Saturday Night Live troupe player and writer describes himself as "pretty good for a 42-year-old, and pretty terrible for an 18-year-old.
