>>34970First episode had an interesting premise, they just didn't know what to do with it. The it's all in your head trope is tired. The end is nonsensical. Apparently the AI writes what the real person is doing, and then recreates it as a show, then several levels like that. It's all the same show with slight variations (ha ha, I get it) but why do the AIs have to watch TV then? And why did the AI-protag had to destroy the mainframe, if the real person destroys the real mainframe, it doesn't matter what they do, it will be shut down anyway.
If the AI is making shows for their Raspberrystream or whatever it's called, why do these characters have to think they are real. They can just be told what to do if they didn't have the ability to choose.
How come nobody in that world has mentioned it before that these characters think they're real people? The star trek one makes sense, cause nobody knows it's there. But lots of people know this probably, and Black Mirror universe there's always people who care about these things and protest.
The episode would have been better as an exploration of the ethical question of AI and what they are and can be. Instead, they made it a girl power fantasy, where the character the AI-protag is based on is literally the shows target demographic.
>pic relThe last episode is actually the best one, but it's just a rip off of M. Night Shymalaman's new movie Knock at the Cabin:
