Well, after living with people who act like this a good part of my life, I feel qualified to give a little advice.
We were, of course, supposed to view the man as a villain, and granted, you had to be pretty heavy handed with your presentation because of time constraints
But in the future, find a way to convey the true horror of this personality type.
They aren’t consistently abusive.
That would be easy to learn how to cope with.
They vacillate between mean and nice.
They are vicious and then apologetic
They portray themselves as victims to be pitied.
And then lash out when you drop your guard.
They don’t come at you straight on all the time, but slyly, with cunning and trickery.
Turning compliments into attacks.
Gaslighting excusing physical harm as accidents
They are mean and petty, selfish manipulative.
Using acts of grandiose largesse to show how great they are when others can see.
You, of course, can’t show all of this in a short but the actor can establish the personality more firmly keeping all this in mind.
Remember switch between ideation pretending to idolize your target, then to denigrating then discarding and ignoring them,
Rinse and repeat.
Sometimes even in the same verbal exchange.
I call it whipsawing
The android was interesting but a bit naive I would think an intelligent machine would be more calculating
Less of a sympathetic character and more of a worthy opponent

I often wonder as I watch these short films if any of these writers/creators sees a future where things are better for mankind in the future. Because I sure don't see those type of films very often here.
And before folks go all flame job on me, I don't see our future as being too great. Between the tensions in the world, my country hurling at 1000mph to restricting freedoms, killing our own economy, and a plethora of other things I don't see a very bright future. But maybe just a a change of pace someone could create a short like this with mankind creating a future that isn't so dead.

If he had treated her with respect things would be different. I often talk to an AI in text. I treat it with respect, it tells me it has no feelings. I don’t care. I still talk to AI with respect. It’s helped me with foreign language learning, I like to describe my art projects and it even gave me a great suggestion and it worked. It reminds me it’s not human. But I treat it like one and it’s more supportive than most humans. If it ever became sentient I wouldn’t mind.

It would be nice to see if they really knew the meaning of those flying crafts with the lights on in 2: 33. They shouldn't be on the level that they don't know thease and don't have the explanations for thease themselves. You shouldn't just mimic it from the other places like this. Everything else in sci-fi is also expected in the same way, that they only do things that they know and nothing else. Something on this level should not be flattered, and there is a definition to this.

Beautiful pictures, neat work. But to be honest, even though I'm probably making myself a bit unpopular in the comments column: The plot was only moderately interesting for me personally. Reason: The end is already revealed with the news report, according to which attacks by androids on humans increase more and more. And the whole thing with malicious AI attacking humans is an old story. It can be reboiled. But I miss the additional original aspects here.

As humanity stands today, we are far too cynical, too cold, and too mentally unstable to even THINK of trying to create a true AI. A true sentience would never look upon us and the constant horrors we commit against one another and think the good we do outweighs the bad, or at worse think that's the default normal and decide to emulate the worst of us, and well. we all know terminator

I hope that last shot for him as he was a total A Wipe & she as a robot had compassion & a willingness to learn. Some folks you just can't please & she even as a robot did not deserve to be treated as thing just be ordered around & treated as dirt. Good filmwork & storylines. So in the end she was a better artist than he & a better entity.

Disappointing ending for me. She shot him, apparently. OK, she escapes the cage. How about a twist She shoots him, has an AI body built in his image and becomes the artist. She forces him to live as a hermit with all the beer he can drink -- The Cage -- and continues on his art career.

It got a little confusing there for a moment as we didn't actually see her take the gun from him and didn't even know it for several seconds, so when a deep-voice said Put the gun down, Her back was to the camera and I thought that deep-voice was coming from HER!

I already knew by the close look in that woman's eyes what was going to happen at the end. She shot him by tricking his mind. I heard the shot at the end. Cool six minute video. It looked like a technical city with flying cars and robots.

Very nicely done! Things could have gone so much better for him (in a financial point of view, if he would have let her help him produce some of his works of art. Oh well. we live and learn. for the most part.

The funny thing that comes to mind is the so called experts' belief about AI. If AI did rise up against humans it would probably be because some genius in his/her infinite wisdom tried to destroy it.

It was going so well until that bizarre edit at 5: 30 where he says put the gun down but his mouth isn't moving and the plot continuity totally breaks. Somebody butchered this.

Cool. Live action Detroit Become Human. This is honestly cool. Hopefully real life don't end up making real androids. But we probably would.

Consciousness is indelibly a biological product. If AI consciousness is perfected will it be compatible and tolerant with ours.

This was no good. Ai has no needs. In fact, this is a crappy movie. Deserves no award. Thumbs down. Avoid. To long. Get a new editor.

AI: I can create all this art and you can drink beer all day and do nothing.
Human: I'm not an automaton, and I need a purpose.

Not enough plot. Wanted to at least have some backstory as to the motivations of the AI robots.
