CONVINCING

by Monica Cross

[10-Minute Horror]
Dana is trying out a new A.I. bot, when things start to get a little weird. The bot warns Dana of an impending A.I. apocalypse, while a pop-up arises to inform Dana this version of the A.I. bot appears to have been corrupted. Physical manifestations of these programs invade Dana's living room as these two fight to see which one can be the most convincing.

    09/17/24 - Oh did I get a kick out of this trip into paranoia. Thanks for the upcoming sleepless night Monica! This is an eerily unsettling look at our probable future since it deals with information, DISinformation, and our inability to know who or what is telling the truth. Smart, funny and scary all at the same time. This is a winner.

    My in-laws bought a new stove that sends them a text when the oven's preheated. That's the brave new world we live in, and Cross's play scratches into the 'what if's?' of these new... relationships?... between machine and humans with wit and wisdom. This would be a lot of fun to act and direct - and asks big questions: What's real? What's not? And why does it matter?

    A humorous, yet terrifying snippet of where we’re probably headed. The idea of an A.I assistant or offshoot attempting to warn humanity is delightfully intriguing, giving the piece the paranoia and uncertainty of any “Body Snatchers” or slow invasion story. Not to mention the fun the actors will have in bringing these programs to life, you’ve got a winning little horror at hand here.
