Just because you struggle to predict the future in your own mind, doesn't necesarility mean it will go awefully. We can't have progress without hope. We didn't know what they're gonna do and the world didn't end. Everyone woke up the next morning and we're still doing our thing. This is like The Great Hack (2019) mixed with What the Health (2017). Like The Great Hack, it examines a technology that has quietly become deeply embedded in our lives and asks how much power we are willing to give it without fully understanding the consequences. Like What the Health, it works like an investigative documentary, talking to different people, questioning institutions, challenging assumptions, and gradually making you rethink something you already use or encounter every day. This can be incredibly gloomy or hopeful. Well, it depends on how you interpret it. To be honest, I thought this would be propaganda either for pro AI or anti AI, but it is surprisingly balanced. Even the ending gives you two possible ways of looking at the future. Goes to show that no one is a fortune teller! Chill, dudes! P.S. If you are reading this because I followed you and you followed me back, it is because I created an agent that knows who I would probably want to follow, people whose reviews I would love to read and who share the same love for cinema.
