Elon Musk wanting to make his own "historically accurate" AI version of The Odyssey is a headline ripe for the late night picking — Kimmel guest host Colman Domingo already had his say, and in the video above Seth Meyers gleefully wades in too.

"Wow, I can't wait for that to suck," says Meyers. "Elon Musk is going to use fake actors stolen from real actors to make a fake movie that's a real version of a fake story. I'm so excited for the AI dialogue. I hope it's like ChatGPT. 'Odysseus, you must return home.' 'You got it, I can't wait to embark on this journey with you! Let's keep it light and fun! And I'm here for whatever you need.'

"Also, what do you mean historically accurate? It's a myth! Are you also making a historically accurate version of The Santa Clause?"
