Director Statement

So apparently, it's pretty normal to have an AI digital assistant living in our phones helping us order takeaway. But, we also use AI to fire employees for lacking at work and to build in-depth data models on every citizen of Earth based on their questionable internet browsing. So, how long until AI judges how good your partner is?

In big-budget mainstream sci-fi series' it often seems that the characters are quite far gone down the rabbit hole of generally mean and evil technology, so it's about time to see a technologically illiterate and jealous man-child bend to the will of AI... and relationship therapy.
