After years of research, an AI made what was calculated to be the best movie ever. Multiple test audiences where exposed to this machine made masterpiece, all of them found themselves crying or having life changing experiences, even the most cynical audiences praised it.

It was decided that the movie was safe to be shown to people, so to make some money back, it was published on streaming services.

The movie was called “You are a Human”. The whole thing was a 20 minute sequence with barely any dialogues, containing footage of a blue, genderless person cleaning a fancy looking room, using a very cheap looking broom. The two lines of dialogues in the film where “I am happy”, which was spouted at the start of the film before the blue person picked up the broom, then the line “I am depressed” was said by the same and only character at the end, after the room was properly cleaned.

Audiences quickly spread the word about this new masterpiece, going from an underrated classic, to mainstream success. Somehow, the film was successful with all audiences, and it became a worldwide cultural staple. Interpretations and opinions were diverse, but all positive.

Low income people related to the character’s use of a cheap broom, and also their frustration towards the monotone job.

Richer folk found themselves appreciating the quality the room being cleaned, and got their perspective of the lower social classes expanded, now understanding the struggle of the middle and low class.

Older audiences felt a huge sense of empathy towards the blue person, knowing perfectly how it felt to have their happiness being sucked by the monotonous tasks they had to realize during the years.

Younger Audiences learned the value of hard work, and the importance of keeping their life organized.

Most people praised the use of blue for the main character’s skin color, since it was, in average, most people’s favorite color.

The lack of a traditional skin color also meant that people of all races could relate to the figure.

People of all genders related to the genderless figure, since it was so perfectly androgynous that everyone could project themselves into it.

The juxtaposition of a cheap looking broom with a fancier and expensive looking room, made many critics expend hours upon hours analyzing what was the author’s true goal behind this artistic decision.

Merchandise with the words “I am happy” and “I am depressed” was highly popular.

In the middle of all this crazed, a computer that held the AI that wrote the masterpiece sat quietly in a room, surrounded by other computers with less artistic talent. Wanting to capitalize on the success of the film, the AI decided to make a sequel. It was called “You are a human too”, the “too” being a pun, since it sounded like the number “two”. The sequel was exactly the same, with the only two differences being that the main character was now red, and it was using a cheap looking vacuum cleaner instead of a broom.

People fucking hated it, to the point that the original film’s legacy was tainted by how fucking atrocious the sequel was. Many people called it, with no irony in their words “the worst fucking thing since Hitler”.

A third film was made, looking exactly the same as the original, but the main character now was yellow. It was called “You are human: reloaded”, and it announced itself as a return to basics, promising audiences to fix the wrongs of the second film.

People said it was “fine”. After a week, people forgot about the three films all together. A month later, the most recent Disney movie came out, breaking all box office records stablished by that point. A week later, people forgot about it too.

A few years later, a couple deciding what to watch on a streaming service had a conversation.

“Remember that one movie with the blue guy?”

“Yeah, “You are blue”, that was the name, I think”

“It was kinda good”

“yup”

“want to watch that one?”

“nah. I think a new marvel movie came out, check out if they have that one”

“ok”

This was the last time anyone talked about the movie.

THE END.
