Sure, unleash the killer robot drones on school children.
Impressions:
Pretty terrible episode from this one as well, and just missed joke after missed joke while it instead attempted to torture simple things into something resembling humor. For the first segment, the sister is back, and her drawings are bad, which confuses Alma. That’s it. That’s the whole gag. At least it was only five minutes, but for making a whopping two drawings, you’d think they wouldn’t have tried to turn that into like five ‘jokes.’ All unsuccessfully. The whole AI recognizing images thing is the lowest hanging CAPTCHA fruit on the internet, and we didn’t even reach that level. Then five minutes in the bath. With jokes like, “In Japan, people take baths naked.” “EEEEHHHH!?” Yes, seriously. It almost remembered what comedy was with the whole shock therapy thing, but that was one small aside that spent more time explaining it than it did performing the joke.
The second half then proceeded to be worse, mainly by, like the manga segment a couple episodes back, giving a full throated endorsement of how AI should be used for literally everything and everybody should be welcoming it taking their jobs. It’s an AI taking over a school to fill it with screen and killer drones to keep children pacified and compliant. The horror-satire practically writes itself. Instead, we got… this. Where the joke here is that she doesn’t have enough RAM. Which is also why the AI takeover failed and all the drones began shooting teachers and students. How funny and comical. High powered assault weaponry deployed in schools. But no. Needs more RAM. Are we doing Skynet or not? Do we even understand that Skynet was evil? AI police systems going haywire and shooting up schools. You either go over the top to make it a full comedy, or you handle it with slightly more tact than “Welp, just a growing pain for embracing AI. And make sure you have enough RAM.”
