Afro Algorithms

While I'm sympathetic to the basic idea that an AI detects an unfavorable bias in its programming and sets out to correct it (leaving aside the question what would be a reliable benchmark for "non-biased"), it suffers from its weak presentation. Or my disgust of the notion of an AI governing me blurs my vision.

The animations are so distractingly choppy that I found the film somewhat hard to follow (it should have spent a couple of hours more in the render mill) but that is no problem because it is so straightforward. Granted, creating an arc of suspense within ten minutes of runtime is an achievement few have made and a plot twist would never fit here but this story just slips through. There are no contradictions, no hooks for the mind to latch on and play with, just an optimistic cherry-pick from the current zeitgeist in a non-disagreeable way. And creativity. From a sophisticated calculator.

I don't know whom I could recommend this film to. It just doesn't stick.

I enjoyed seeing the work of a young passionate filmmaker who had a vision to create and share a project that creatively addresses some of the key social issues that we face today - in a new way.

The approach and intention were executed in a clear way, and although it was straightforward to follow, I was particularly intrigued by the visuals, effects and how it all came together in harmony.

The film's message about the importance of imagination and creativity in building new futures can be a source of inspiration and influence for what's needed to address some of the key challenges of today's world.

The work that's been created by a young filmmaker who took a leap to try a new approach is admirable and is a great indication of all the success that will continue to come through hard work, experience and 'imagination and creativity!'

It has the desire to represent a manifesto. So, political correct themes are exposed and used for an idealistic order. The naif/childish tone can be the only problem of this short animation about the first AI leader, about feminism and BLM, about truth and the true leader.

Technical seductive, its message is too ...sweet. So, a film for new generations , a lesson about leadership and a future world more technologized and a very enthusiastic, in some measure not only unrealistic but just wrong end.

But, sure, the good intentions are only significant in this case. And the suggested thrill about the world of tomorow.
