Maybe create and tinker with brushes, create contextual tools like a simple rule-following saturation brush or a texture clone that has some contextual 'understanding' of angles and perspective and shadows...
or for music, maybe virtual performers/arrangers to force otherwise dull sequences in the style of X, and to make virtual instruments and fx that are truly infinitely tweakable.

Sorry to be a downer but as a yank...
...it was a bit low-brow IMHO and lacked the actionable message that Kyle often brought in the end. It just depicted more unsettled chaos and came off as a parody of South Park itself.
It's harder to find monkey poop flinging like this funny as the very real and wide-spread consequences of our Christo-fascist administration, greedy corps, and tech-bros playing Caesar, becomes more dire and affects regular people in more horrific ways. Even the Daily Show reboot doesn't hit the same.
We should also feel bad that Satan hasn't fostered the self-confidence to find his way out of abusive relationships.

Kenny complaining he can't understand wtf Jesus is saying. Cartman unable to cope with a world run by Cartmans. PC Principle defeated.

It was ultimately defeatist when people are looking for hope and drive to fight the current administration.
Trey and Matt are billionaires so they can do more than draw Trump with a tiny dick. That doesn't change minds. They can afford lawyers and lobbyists to actually change things.
It's also not a mirror of all Americans. I never thought all Brits were idiots when they passed Brexit because I'm not an yokel xenophobe.

I'm just stating my opinion. You're the one who replied to my thoughts and viewed a difference of opinion as an arguement.
And my opinion is that SP following the same decades old formula isn't hacking it in this case. Their original formula was actually more of a humorous but thought-provoking social commentary. The Trump episode was just shit-flinging. The net is already drowning in that content as anyone can make AI pics and vids... so they need to do better than that. They certainly have the money and comedic resources to do and say a lot more.

I apologise for mistaking a frank exchange of contrary views as an argument.
You first complained that the new episode lacked the decades old formulaic element of Kyle's message, now you're complaining that they're following the same decades old formula. Nice cake?
You also complained that, like South Park, The Daily Show doesn't hit the same as it did before. Do you remember the SP 'memberberries arc? Truly, nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
Trey&Parker have the resources to do more than their full time job, and occasionally they do (such as their fantastically successful musical, and their deep fake Trump work with Serafinowicz). South Park is South Park though.

A difference of opinion is fine and should be encouraged in exercising critical thinking skills.
I mean, I'm just trying to explain my thoughts further to help you understand them better. I have no control if your inner voice reads them as being argumentative and complaining. I'm honestly trying to keep the convo civil, productive, and in the spirit of this cool little niche community... not contribute to making it toxic like the rest of the net.
I simply believe that extraordinary times require extraordinary measures.That, in turn, requires more imagination as more of the same has simply not helped to alter the trajectory of Trump being elected twice, or has inspired enough people to help prevent him from doing all the evil he promised.
I think it's to the extent that sociographic comedy is entering an existential crisis because the real world repercussions are becoming that dire. In short, "Okay we've all had a good laugh... but now what are we going to do about it?. I strongly feel that John Oliver gets that but it appears to me that SP may be losing that mojo.

Explains the Velo-dog
The Velo-Dog was a pocket revolver originally created in France by René Galand, son of Charles-François Galand in the late 19th-century as a defense for cyclists against dog attacks. The name is a compound word composed of "velocipede" and "dog".
