I AM A POTATO (2025)
The writer Joanna Maciejewska said: "I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so I can focus on art and writing, not for AI to write and draw for me while I do the laundry and dishes." The recent debate about artificial intelligence focuses on the production of culture, but what about trash culture?

Siri, Alexa, ChatGPT, Renfe’s Irene, and Replika are the contestants who must overcome various challenges to prove whether they can be human enough. Teaching a parrot to talk, solving a CAPTCHA, or learning to insult are just some of the tasks.
In just two minutes, and set to music produced by UKiii, the artists manage to capture viewers' attention and hook them into wanting to see more of that first season.
