High-Tech, Low-Functioning
High-Tech, Low-Functioning (Retro-Future Blues)
Script
Panel 1 Visual: Leo, a disheveled 30-something man wearing a neon 90s-style geometric t-shirt, stands in a messy apartment. He is talking dramatically to a sleek, floating holographic AI sphere. Leo: "Okay, Cyber-AI, you have quantum reasoning capabilities and can solve advanced security threats. I need your absolute highest processing power for a critical task."
Panel 2 Visual: Close-up on the floating AI sphere, which is pulsing with intense golden energy, complex digital equations, and glowing code spinning around it. AI Sphere: "Understood. Initiating deep cognitive analysis and recursive logic arrays. State the emergency, User."
Panel 3 Visual: Leo points desperately at a massive, chaotic mountain of crumpled laundry on his floor. The AI sphere projects a thin red scanner laser over the pile. Leo: "Analyze this pile and tell me if I can get away with wearing these cargo pants one more time if I spray them with body spray, or if I actually have to do laundry."
Panel 4 Visual: The AI sphere glows a dull, disappointed grey with a flat-line emoticon face on its display. Leo is holding the cargo pants up to his nose, sniffing them with a hopeful expression. AI Sphere: "Critical system error. My neural network was not trained to handle this level of human negligence." Leo: "I'll take that as a 'yes' on the body spray."
