Who is Jordan Hass?
No, I didn't suddenly develop amnesia. This has been one of my modern projects I've been playing with, somewhat openly, but mostly behind the scenes, since AI has taken over everything.
As a creator, I am absolutely against the use of generative A.I., I think everything from literature to voice over and art, is just made better when it's by people, who actually focus on their talents.
I think computers are amazing, and sometimes you need that WordArt but Better, or just that quick filter in a project (see above image, using Photo Studio PRO on my phone, easy “remove background” effects and blur this thing)
I think it's been over 5 years since ChatGPT showed up and made writing miserable to everybody, nobody reads, nobody writes, it's back and forth computers.
However, since then, every computer company has tried to do some version of AI in its platform. Either to give us that Her-like future where Joaquin Phoenix types get heartbroken by a Virtual ScarJo. Or, most likely, doomed, stupider reality where all jobs become obsolete and we all just die without any jobs or pursuits, as Robots are our gig economies now.
Or, maybe something like Ghost in the Shell. But, I think I already referenced ScarJo in this piece.
ANYWAY, ABOUT THE PROJECT
Because these technology companies want to use A.I. to “assist” and “machine learn” or whatever, and it's become the new way to “research”(and write reports) I decided to fuck over our environment in an effort of being slightly egotistical, and essentially do the modern form of “Google Myself”
Every one of these companies already implemented this AI bullshit, into your thing. Rather that's Twitter’s Algorithm, Google Search, Bing Search, and Meta. This is all what is used right now. And, essentially what they know about me.
(And somehow a ton of people in the sports world, I never played Baseball BTW)
So let's go through each of these, I'll try and explain what's true and not true and so on.
This is Grok, made famous by Nazi Sympathizer, Cybertruck Inventor and Allegedly Ketomine Magnate, Elon Musk.
I used this AFTER I knew Elon is Crazy, it's a bumper sticker (Polestar is Better, Mustangs are better holy shit like just get a Prius)
This is what's used now if you want more “Jordan Hass” on Twitter.
A ton of this is accurate. I'm a ‘Media Personally’ (which is a nice way of saying “Content Creator without a million followers”)
And my two bases are Writing and Producing.
(Both of which are easily known if you check my bio on this website)
Game Shows I Suppose is a podcast all about game shows, and essentially I review and analyze them, the industry, etc. (Production background helps alot in most of the understanding)
A Podcast With Jordan Hass covers gaming, Internet Culture and personal experiences. And that is also true. It's my “can I talk about my life currently caregiving my mom, while also reminding myself of past lives I've had on the Internet?”
Essentially, if you miss “Busy Street” (my old culture comedy blog) that's THAT podcast, if you want me pointing at the death of Game Journalism and Game Content slowly going away, that's that podcast. It's the “variety streamer” of podcasts, essentially. And mostly a rambling box.
Nice of them to bring my home page (it's on my Twitter bio, so IDK) and my IMDB of stuff I got credit on. One was my College Senior Documentary about women in the gaming industry (then gamergate happened 1 month later, nice of the original video maker to stop by my twitch to do basic Internet Trolling one last day before his whole world blew up)
And JackAM, where essentially I just sent stuff over to Jack Allison for his morning twitch stream for a couple months. (HEY, CHECK OUT “EAT THE RICH” AVAILABLE AT BOOKSTORES AND IN AUDIO BOOK FORM TODAY, IT'S A VERY FUNNY, TRAGIC FUTURE)
And the last part is true —I'm frustrated about my personal dreams and goals and online media. Mostly, because in a world where my childhood self was like “I want to invent game shows and be a comedic game journalist like what they do at Gamespot and Tech TV!”
Well, for starters, all of that has changed, TV has destroyed budget, getting deals are now more about packages and delays and “what's cheapest” and game journalism has become just streamers and content creators and saying “Oh Wow Cool” to anything and everything, and unless you want to be an Angry Video Game Nerd clone, there is just no chance for you to do the new X-Play. AND THEY EVEN TRIED TO BRING BACK XPLAY, AND LOOK AT US NOW (I do have Adam Sessler’s Blessing to Carry the Torch, since the demise of the reboot)
It's okay.
This is Meta AI, as used in Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.
Glad they didn't tell everybody my “for you” videos, of Kirby, Femboys and Goth Girls dancing to Hot Topic Mall Music, and haircuts, lots and lots of haircuts (I don't get it either)
I appreciate they gave me a moniker THE GAME SHOW ENTHUSIAST like I'm about to throw down a 2 hour video essay on Nebula about the quiz show scandals of the 1950s, while wearing a hat and firing a prop gun at a photo of Dan Enright for some reason.
But compared to the Twitter one, this is just bare bones. “I have a presence in the game show community” no fucking shit, there are like maybe 200 people, and that's just being generous, most people just follow a show like Taskmaster or Survivor and call it a day.
But not your buddy, Jordan. I watched every GSN ORIGINAL, and lived to talk about it.
Also I'm “multifaceted”.
Copilot is used by Microsoft and it's now in your Windows device, it's also on Bing. You know, the new MSN!
I don't have the Apple AI, so this is the closest I could do at the moment.
Much like Twitter, they point at both podcasts, and I'm glad they pointed at the humor of GSIS, and understand the offbeat nature of A Podcast With Jordan Hass
It also did a minor summary of my style - media critique with a quirky self awareness, which is accurate to a degree.
But I appreciate the link to the website and a place to listen to the podcast. It's actually pretty “ok”
I'm glad they also remember I'm from Los Angeles (an earlier version got me confused with another Jordan from Illinois)
THIS IS NOT AI, I WROTE THIS BIO
if you're wondering why some of them just go off the first sentence of “media personality” I could, in theory, lie, but I decided not to. What I did was something even better -- I just asked a friend to give me that one sentence summary.
Here's a few more things about me that aren't listed. But are very fun to point out.
I was a freelance game journalist
My High School Career Day Test told me I should become “A Voice Over Artist” (and hi, shout out to what would eventually become the new cool goal - “to host a Jackbox game”) (also, shout out to BangZoom for actually answering my questions at a time when anime dubbing was starting to grow)
My degree in college was originally education, as a Math Teacher, but I switched it for Cinema & TV Arts (even though I was very Internet Savvy and should've done multimedia instead)
I don't have a driver's license (had the permit, ready to do the lessons but then, UH OH THINGS WENT BAD)
I worked on Minute to Win It and Big Brother, so we don't need to worry about the “dream job” of “working on game shows” we did it, now it's just “but what do I really want to do?”
G4 has onboarded me twice but never got to work there, because they closed their offices or laid off moments later (AOTS Internship in' 2013, PRODUCER SLATED 2023 FOR A GAME SHOW! FUCK)
I think I am in a few voice over roles here and there, if you do some digging up.
The producers at MXC still never gave me that T-shirt as promised, for coming up with “Geeks vs Greeks” (based on fan fiction I threw way back then of really dumb puns and sexual innuendos, and was the “American” episode they filmed at Universal Studios
I was once hired to be a Universal Studios Tour Guide, but then later got the rejection, with a reason being priority for current staff (it makes sense, but then the King Kong Fire happened a month later) essentially HIRE JORDAN OR ELSE is real, and either I'm Cursed or the people at Comcast just hate me for some reason.
Did I mention I was the first birthday party at Club Disney? No, that's okay.
Anyway, presented are all the places I got rejected from over the years : GameStop, Borders Bookstore, TokyoPop….
This is Gemini, this is the one used by Google, and the “PRO” was not my idea, it just came with my Pixel 9 phone. This is what is used in everything from Google Search (when you Google Yourself) and of course, YouTube Algorithm that thinks because you watched videos of people going through Round1 or watching episodes of Deal or No Deal, you'd enjoy a clip of Joe Rogan giving sincere thought about Eugenics from a white supremacist.
The fun part about this response - it's the only one that brought up I was a moderator for G4’s Discord.
That's right, ME! I'M THE DISCORD MOD! SORRY KAMI, SORRY BEEMOP, SORRY HUNTER, I'M THE FAMOUS ONE, ME!
anyway, incels thought I got paid for this somehow…
WHICH LEAVES ME TO CHAT GPT… THE ALPHA CHAD OF AI.
I didn't expect ChatGPT to make me a wiki page, shit.
But this is the one that is sadly the most accurate of them all
It knows, I made Rank’d, which was an offshoot of a podcast I did called Garglebox (not to be confused with Gogglebox) where 10 random items were ranked in order from best to worst, and then a simple game where it became 5 items and you tried to match somebody each round for points.
I completely forgot about that, I love games! I love making games, and yeah, on screen host is actually a good description of my talent
And it actually reminded me, I do a whole lot, and forget about it. I know my podcasts were the quickest summary of mine (And, yeah, maybe I should update the voice over reel)
But I am more than just what was on my Imdb, and what was on my website bio. (My BlueSky says I'm The Original Mr. Munch)
So, it's very interesting to see some of my other proud moments resurface, instead of dwelling on past mistakes and things that could have been.
It tells me, I still have somewhat of a future somewhat?
Earlier this week, before my mom returned, I recorded a bunch of game footage, everything from Date Everything to the Tony Hawk 3+4 Demo and, I got this comment under the video.
Now, I never met this person before, and for all I know, this could all be sarcasm and he was trying to say “the audio levels are shit”.
But, my brain is actually going to instead take this at face value, and actually assume this person means it, and think it's very kind, and that's what will keep me going to do more stuff soon.
Just let me know, City of Burbank, I'm available for all your voice over and YouTube content mill.
But that leaves me witha true gauge of answering this dumb question.
Asking my friends.
And that's all you need, people who know you, actual people, to help you know where you belong.
The Hunky Best Friend who knows Deal or No Deal Island and can be your future announcer for a cooking competition series on a streamer!
It's definitely accurate, and I didn't have to go through a Costco Warehouse size amount of Microplastics to get that response.
I might have to take a pause on talking into a microphone for a while, I just hope that's still around when I get back. ♥️
