The Future of AI Filmmaking is an apocalyptic parody, made by a man named Josh

The AI ​​kept getting things wrong. In one shot, Tiggy looked inexplicably covered up. In another, his back was very dry. When the director told one software to give the back of Tiggy’s head “frog-like skin,” he imposed a full frog face. The AI ​​seemed to resist photographing Tiggy naked, but Tiggy is not wearing clothes. When the director requested a “short shirtless alien,” he got an error message, presumably due to the tool’s safeguards. “Because I said the word shirt“guess.

Narratives around AI tend to be all-or-nothing: either we’re cooking or it’s all-in. Watching a director working with an AI program — with iced coffee in hand, brown hair, and an unkempt beard — is a lot weirder and less dramatic than all that. It’s like a projection Puppy school. Gadgets continue to ignore instructions, make strange choices, or just ignore them altogether. But carefully and patiently, he brought them back, eventually coaxing eight minutes of original scripted television.

In this case, those eight minutes constituted the latest episode in the world of cinematic ills created by the director under the name In a nervous sense. The project began in 2024 with a series of fictitious websites Unanswered anomaliesa television show from his head from a future in which Earth is populated by creatures called Glurons, in which he participates Ancient aliens-Style speculation about their human ancestors. Each episode explores a different (and badly miscast) aspect of “Hooman” civilization, such as America, exercise, or the NFL. At first it seemed like a little funny and self-sufficient.

But then the universe, known as monotropes, began expanding. Neural Viz has skimmed various episodes of the same Gluron TV network, Monovision: A Mostyboy Cop Show, a UFC-style show about bug fighting. Then came the podcast, Street Interviews. Subplots and arcs begin to emerge between the videos, with romances shaping up, religious cults profiting off in the background, and grainy close-ups revolving around the real circumstances that wiped out humanity. Before long, the director has built an entire world with its own language, characters, and gameplay, all made of artificial intelligence.
