But that's not the real point. Yeah, it's a good demonstration of AI abilities in March 2026, but it's the theme and plot that get me. They are simultaneously brilliant, sad, and prophetic.

Don't nitpick the myriad "tells" that give it away as AI. Comment on the theme.
“Wait, your garden is hand-done? That’s real taste.” 👀
Yes, it’s very well done, but the lady’s speech is a bit....wooden....and her mouth doesn’t quite match natural speech. The gardener’s mouth is much better, but he says very little.
Yep, that’s what all us stupid humans get for working hard to build companies we didn’t own, slaving away for the “man” - building our own destruction and wasting our precious years on this Earth. Stupid Adam and Eve. They really screwed it up for all of us.

Yes AI can still be spotted. Lowest common denominator faces etc. But one can see where this technology is going and it will get to the point that no one can tell anymore what’s real and what’s not. Some of that effect has already been happening with CGI over decades but AI takes it much further.
Have not watched it but does everyone have a perfect complexion?
The gardener sure doesn’t. Craggy face, beard stubble. Weathered skin.
