Saturday Night Live star Tina Fey said she is not worried about artificial intelligence (AI) taking over from comedy writers.
"AI can do all sorts of other terrifying things, like writing music but so far, it's unable to be funny," she told the audience on the last day of the Edinburgh TV Festival.
The American actress and comedian broke into comedy as part of the Chicago-based improvisational comedy group The Second City, before going on to star in the NBC sketch comedy show.
One of her most famous roles was as US vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin in the run up to the 2008 election.
At the time she had left the show but was asked to return.
