Late night TV is often at its best when it's at its weirdest, and watching Jon Stewart argue for five minutes with an animated version of Meta's Muse AI agent is a strong example.
In the clip above, the Daily Show host takes a deep dive into artificial intelligence, starting with Trump's recent summit and moving on to the question of whether or not AI will be the end of humanity.
Watching him attempt to voice the Muse AI while essentially arguing with himself is the highlight, though.
