Just for you!

Part 1

You come home from work utterly exhausted from a long day of solving other people’s problems.

While walking to your front door you order a meal for delivery from your favorite thai restaurant from your dinner subscription service. You’ve never been there but the food is good. Great reviews.

You take a shower and by the time you’re finished your food is sitting on your doorstep. You open the door just enough to grab your food and sit down on your couch to try out what everyone in your feeds has been talking about all day: the latest generative streaming service! You signed up while at work and have been looking forward to trying it all day.

This new subscription service allows you to generate entire seasons of your own shows and even share them with others - so long as they are also paying for premium add-on like you.

When you access the new service it asks you to set it up and approve access and permissions to enable the best features. You blast through all the permissions prompts by saying “approve” over and over again. Something about pulling in your social feeds, private messages, shopping data and AI history to generate unique entertainment ideas.

Finally, you get to the fun part: creating your own show!

You start the “creation” process and after a few minutes of talking to the system about what types of shows you like, celebrities you find attractive, your sexual history, childhood fears, worst impluse buys and the politicians you hate, it starts to generate some show concepts. It’s going to be over a minute wait so you watch a few 20 second installments of the latest super-short series while you finish your Pad Kee Mao.

It took longer than you expected, but 2 minutes later it has generated 5 different show trailers with posters. You watch a few of the trailers but most of them look like knock-off versions of other shows you’ve seen before. You decide to try something a friend or maybe someone you follow told you about, and you pick two show concepts and ask it to do a ‘mash up’.

The trailer for this mashup show looks much better. It reminds you of that one show you used to like that you sawa few years ago. At least, you think you liked it. Either way, the main characters is very attractive and something about them reminds you of that new colleague at work...

You confirm your choice. The system takes a few seconds to generate the first episode - just for you!

The system prompts you with, “Start your show?”
