After escaping their creator, two rogue bots teach themselves to be human in the wilds of social media. Nothing is original and clicks are king. From the odd and obliquely filthy minds of Lauren Gillis and Alaine Hutton of Lester Trips (Theatre), a speculative fiction unfolds in the doomscroll. Cringe comedy and social commentary clash in a deepfake reality dating show, a washed-up comedian platforming bot conspiracy theories, and of course, AI-generated melting dog faces. As scary as the real internet, but slightly more charming.
