This makes me think of the "shark scene" from Back to the Future, and how reality has diverged from this extrapolation.
- It's still ubiquitous, like a hologram accosting you in the street.
- It's still surprising through targeted ads, the machine understands you.
- Unclear privacy concerns, your scream of fear makes it a discussion piece.
- It's short and sweet.
...but the form isn't terribly artful. It's like a surrogate video call mixed with lowest-common-denominator talent show. This may be part of the effect as well to produce the -- apparently -- rather-effective drive to engage.
This rut, and the congestion may cause things to quickly stagnate.
Plus, a horror movie with some 4-dimensional monster that views reality, places, and human connection as some sort of twisted bubblewrap ought to sort these Gen Z-ers out.
