A good experiment uses misdirection to reveal, and in some cases exacerbate our biases, and John Busser has devised an excellent one with "All Too HumAIn". Audiences will be on the edge of their seat as the play's central Turing test goes off the rails... or perhaps goes exactly according to plan. Compelling and twisty!

This is a fascinating exploration of the potential for creating robots that convincingly mimic human behavior. Through clever misdirection Busser keeps us guessing about the robot's identity to the end. The prickly test subjects are unaware of their true roles and their interactions are pointedly funny. Under the guise of rich humor, this play raises the prospect of a frightening future.

In a world in which anything can be AI, I find myself approaching everything from images to articles with a sense of suspicion. Somehow, Busser captures what it's like to live in this odd, post-ChatGPT world with this clever sci-fi premise! When is suspicion warranted, and when is it dangerous? This piece asks a lot of great questions, making it wonderfully rich, compelling, and very funny fodder for post-show lobby chat! Fantastic dialogue and a fun twist make this timely play a winner!
