When I see the woman boxing with a robot, you hear grunting. You hear sounds of the robot's mechanics. You hear punching sounds. You hear all kinds of audio to make the scene come to life.
Yeah, it feels a lot more real. And I said, okay, well, what if we can see if we can actually tell a story here? We really wanted to see if that was possible. And we learned very quickly, it is possible. It's just really hard and time-consuming. The film itself is about my, if we want to say that I'm me in this film, getting a sort of a humanoid robot.

And these robots were designed to make people and humans more efficient.

because I thought, okay, maybe we can have some fun playing off of this idea that AI is all about making us efficient in our jobs and in everything else. I'll let people watch, but the robot lives with me. We have some good times together. We have some not-so-good times together. He really wants me to keep working.

And then I can't ruin the end, but, you know, let's just say I come out on top at the end.

Hmm. OK, fine, I'll do it. But I don't know. It's not usually how it works with with movie interviews. But yeah, I mean, in the end. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. I get frustrated with this robot and I had no other choice, but I have to reprogram him.

But I will say there was a lot of constraints to making this. And so you'll notice when you watch everybody, you'll see like the robot doesn't talk, right? The robot has a voice, but it doesn't have mouth movements. And so that was one of the constraints we had. And you'll see, I never talk. Like my mouth never moves in the piece. Because we had that technical constraint.

You can't really have the dialogue work very well between two people. You can't really make that consistent. And so when you watch with an eye for the technical constraints, you can really see like, oh, yeah, they kind of had to make something that was like this.
