Deep Learning With Merrill Grambell
The First Show Hosted By Artificial Intelligence
We live in a world where everything is connected, smart fridges, salt dispensers, egg timers, & even hair brushes. What about smart theatre
That sounds like a Ummm, ok-ish idea.
Well, that's what this show is.
Deep Learning with Merrill Grambell is the first show completely hosted by artificial intelligence as it interacts with real-life comedians, musicians, technologists & other interesting guests from all over the world. It's sort of as if Clippy from Microsoft Word & Bonzi Buddy got together & made a talk show. Because the show is hosted by AI nobody has any idea what will happen, but hopefully, it will get better every performance.

Hip Hop Gamer
Gerard "HipHopGamer" Williams fell in love with videogames at the early age of 4 years old. Gerard's youth was a raw as it gets. Abandoned by his mother in his tender years, Gerard found solace in music & in videogames which were introduced to him by his grandmother Margaret Williams, known to many has the Hip-Hop Granny. It was through their strong connection that Gerard first picked up his Atari game remote, which became a way to keep her grandchildren entertained in the house instead of the brutal streets in Brooklyn, New York where he grew up.
Gerard's youth was a raw as it gets. Abandoned by his mother at a tender age, he found complete solace gaming, honing in on his skill with hours & honors of consistent game play. In his early teens, Gerard developed a love for music, rap & sports. He soon delved more heavily into music as a way to express himself during the trials & woes of life. At the age of 14, his brother bestowed the nickname Jackal-Flarez (shortened to Jackal) upon Gerard because as he pursued a career in hip-hop his energy was electrifying & his rap style was like a wild dog'. Soon after, Gerard received an offer for a major recording deal with MC Chan that soon fell apart, leaving him victim to industry politics.
Fast-forward, Gerard soon donned the moniker HipHopGamer (HHG) & never looked back. Though he never lost his love for music, pursuing that as a career would soon take the backseat to his goal of marrying his love for gaming with developing a career that would lead him to garnering the HHG brand as we know it today.
